The Duke wore jeans

by Kay Clifford

Published 1983191 pagesISBN 978-0-2637-4582-5

When a millionaire American playboy inherited the title of eleventh Duke of Wentworth, and a stately home to go with it, Susan Andrews foresaw that there would be many changes. But she had not anticipated what a difference it would make to her own life... Susan is a supposedly smart lawyer, who has to go to LA to tell the SLEAZY Hero that he's inherited a dukedom and accompanying accoutrements (large estate etc...). He owns a porn magazine called Playmate and lives with 9 of the centerfolds. How Susan can 'fall in love' with this a---hole is the biggest suspension of disbelief in Mills&Boondom....!!!!! NOT a romantic story at all.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
