Anna Bradley — Give The Devil his Duke (Ikar, 2025), prvá časť série Drop Dead Dukes, je historická romanca na 352 strán. Príbeh sleduje Gilesa Drewa, vojvodu z Basingstoku, ktorý po škandále potrebuje výhodný sobáš, a Francescu Stanhopovú, ktorá z núdze a omylu vstúpi do jeho života, čo spustí šikovné dvorenie, odhalenia tajomstiev a napätie. Recenzentka chváli vtipné slovné prestrelky, výrazné postavy a svižné tempo, kritizuje obálku (1*/5), no knihu hodnotí 5*/5 a odporúča ju milovníčkam žánru. Dielo je ľahké a zábavné, končí vážnejším konfliktom, následným zblížením a poslúži aj čitateľom, ktorí očakávajú intímnejšie scény a pokračovanie pre vedľajšie postavy.
