A Duchess Mistaken by Emma Linfield

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Although I am happy they got their HEA, I felt awkward throughout this story as no one knew what role to play. Christopher didn’t even try to get to know Agnes because as soon as the Duke set eyes on Agnes, the Duke wanted her and Caroline became a sideline that nobody wanted except some stable hand, poor Caroline. She was so unloved that she settled for a stable hand. True love may win the day but to settle for a man who may not be able to support her because her  talents as a lady will not support her poor husband in his chosen profession is particularly sad. Although Agnes was well suited to a duchess role because she loves to meddle and make things work to her and her friend’s advantage.

Her Wolf of a Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Dukes & Beasts Book 1) By Patricia Haverton

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The only thing wolfish about this Duke is his smile. A man who dooms his life because of a curse makes the woman whom he can’t stay away from miserable.  The characters are well written and has a very good plot. Gretchen the villainess in this story lacks real character and the father whom makes the girls miserable is pathetic. The third villain in this story lacks any real dimension and is nearly two dimensional. Otherwise it was a wonderful read.

 

Her Bear of a Duke (2025) (The second book in the Dukes & Beasts series) by Patricia Haverton

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story starts out in a masquerade where they first meet. The story gets a little dark but love will light the way as soon as the new duchess gets out of her own way. The plot was well thought out and the storyline well written. Dorothea and Morgan characters feel real and well developed. You can but hope that things will work out for them.
