SAE: You’re very lucky that your recollections of the original film aren’t particularly strong. Have you seen the movie? And what did you think of the book? I only vaguely remember the movie, but after reading the book, I recognize some of the similarities. I was curious about the story after I heard it was loosely based on the movie While You Were Sleeping. Jordan, but I don’t think it will be my last. Determined to learn more about the duke’s savior, Struan instead finds himself falling in love with her.Īs While the Duke Was Sleeping unfolds, Poppy learns that sometimes the man of your dreams isn’t the one you expect him to be.ĮBW: This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. His relationship with the duke is strained at best, but based on what he knows about the duke’s rakish tendencies, he’s convinced the duke’s brave and fiery defender can’t be his betrothed. Struan Mackenzie is the Duke of Autenberry’s wealthy, handsome and illegitimate half-brother. The man he was fighting, and who accompanied Poppy to the duke’s home (and pushed her to safety from the carriage), isn’t so sure Poppy is anything more than the Duke of Autenberry’s latest paramour. The duke falls into a coma after the fall, and when she returns with him to his home, she’s mistaken for his fiancée.
Poppy tries to stop the fight, but instead saves the duke’s life when she pulls him out of the way of a horse and carriage.
After one visit, Poppy watches the duke exit the shop and get into an argument with another man that quickly escalates into a battle of fisticuffs. As a shop girl at the florist he favors, she’s barely exchanged more than a few words with him, but it doesn’t stop her from daydreaming about the day he will suddenly realize Poppy is the girl of his dreams and makes her his duchess. Poppy Fairchurch is in love with the Duke of Autenberry.
If you’ve read it, then we’d love to know what you thought of the book, too! AAR staffers Emily Wittmann and Sara Elliott were excited to discuss and share their thoughts on Sophie Jordan’s While the Duke Was Sleeping, the first in her new Rogue Filesseries.
