Book Blurb:
She lives for passion.
Bold, impulsive, and a magnet for trouble, Juliana Fiori is no simpering English miss. She refuses to play by society’s rules: she speaks her mind, cares nothing for the approval of the ton, and can throw a punch with remarkable accuracy. Her scandalous nature makes her a favorite subject of London’s most practiced gossips . . . and precisely the kind of woman The Duke of Leighton wants far far away from him.
He swears by reputation.
Scandal is the last thing Simon Pearson has room for in his well-ordered world. The Duke of Disdain is too focused on keeping his title untainted and his secrets unknown. But when he discovers Juliana hiding in his carriage late one evening—risking everything he holds dear—he swears to teach the reckless beauty a lesson in propriety. She has other plans, however; she wants two weeks to prove that even an unflappable duke is not above passion.
The Review:
Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke’s Heart (we’ll call it Eleven Scandals), is the 3rd and final book in the Love By Numbers series. This is Juliana’s story with the very cold Duke of Leighton. I really enjoyed the previous books in the series about the twin brothers, Nick and Gabriel and it was time their sister got her HEA. I couldn’t wait to read Juliana’s story. Ever since she met the mysterious and sexy man in the bookshop in the 1st book, and when we saw Simon in book 2…I was hoping he would be the hero of her book. So when I finally read the synopsis of Eleven Scandals I was in heaven! I might have squeed a little. *wink*
Juliana is a passionate woman, you can’t miss that she is Italian and not English. I think what I loved the most about her is… Read the rest of the review.

I guess to answer ” want books!” is pretty lame, then again … 😉
On second thought – I wouldn’t mind a handsome Duke underneath the mistletoe!
I really, REALLY want an Ereader that can read all formats for my ebooks – kindle, nook and PDF, EPUB, etc, so I’m not stuck at my computer all day. I’m starting to get migraines from the position here day after day 🙁
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
Happy Holidays!
I am looking forward to reading those books, they are on my wishlist. I would love to get more reading time for Christmas 😉 And I wish I could give my boyfriend for Christmas: that his oldest daughter would come for the weekend more often. He sure misses her.
Honestly, what I really, really want this year is an iPad, and a candy apple red KitchenAid mixer. I know there’s not a chance in Hades that I’ll get either one, but boy!, I sure want ’em! 😉
I would live to get books or GCs to bookstores. I have so many books on my wish list I need a little help getting them.
I want lots and lots of books for Christmas, but as we don’t give presents to each other at Christmas in this household, I will have to buy them myself 😉
I hope the 4 books I ordered will get here in time for Christmas
Thanks for a great post and giveaway! I’ve been blessed enough to have everything I really want, so what I want for Christmas is time off from work, peace and quiet and the ability to sit down and READ!!!! I would love to make a dent in my physical and Kindle TBR piles 🙂
Happy Holidays!

I really want the new Kindle Fire for Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway—
Merry Christmas!

Books are gift cards for book stores are defitely nice. I also would like a tablet 🙂
I always buy my Christmas presents early in the year so I’m not rushing around buying things the last minute. Well I bought a bunch of stuff in february of this year including my mom’s present. My mom passed away in June and I still have her present. I don’t know what to do with it now. I thought about giving it to my daughter because it’s jewelry..but I just can’t bring myself to give it to anyone else so it will probably stay in my jewelry box for now. So what I wish is that I could give my mom her present…

What I want for Christmas is a GC to a bookstore– that would send me straight to Heaven! 🙂
And I’ve had huge luck this year– I’ve gotten everyone exactly what I set out to get! Yea!
Ohhhh, this book sounds great! I have a thing for grumpy, stuffy heroes, too– and for watching them come completely undone 😉
I just bought myself a starter charm bracelet for Christmas and I’d love to get more charms for it from my family. They’ve all been hinted at. 😉
Does a winning lottery ticket count? I would love to give one to my husband. Barring that, I would love to give my husband a new computer.

I just heard about a 747 flight simulator experience which is now available where I am. It’s too late for this Christmas but I’m definitely going to investigate for my husband for something special for next birthday or Christmas.

I’m hoping to get a Kindle for Christmas.

An iPad2 tops my wish list. I’m not holding my breath though.

What I want for Christmas would be all of my family together in one place. Since that’s not going to happen, I will settle for books and the time to read them without feeling guilty for disappearing from the world for hours!

I would love to be able to spend Christmas at a hot spring somewhere. Its cold!

All i want for Christmas is a Nook.
What I want more than anything in the world is to become pregnant and have a baby. Tore923@aol.com
My mom is a workaholic! One day she bought my brother an I-Pad. When she tries to play its games, I found that she could addicted to it. ANd really a rare moment to see my mom is just laughing like that. So I wish I could give my mom an I-Pad even I haven’t got one. ;D
I just like being together with the family. I like gifts that I can use up, like some lovely Arbonne hand cream. For friends & family I wish them health & happiness.

I’d like an iPad for Christmas, but I wish I could give my daughter a car. She needs one.
msculp@gmail.com
I would like to get a new car stereo 🙂
I am hoping to get some gift cards so I can buy the books I want after Christmas.
I’d love some books for christmas, because there is no way to have to many.
I wanted to see my dog, Geisha, for Christmas. She is staying in another state while I settle in to my new home. I won’t be able to see her for a few more months. I did get a few digital pictures of her.
I wanted a Kindle or an iPad. I got my Kindle- yay! What I wish I could give a loved one? I wish I could give my mum a Kindle (I’m saving up towards it and am close to reaching my goal). She loves reading romances, so if I were to win this book, she’d be sure to read it first:)
Happy holidays!
