In the new novel from the bestselling author of The Earl I Adore, May Bradford isnβt afraid to play devilβs advocate when it comes to a duke.β¦
After her motherβs death, Mayβs sea captain father sends her halfway around the world to live with his stodgy sister in England. The summer festival in Bath made for a lovely distraction, but now she canβt wait for her fatherβs return so she can leave this country, its suffocating rules, and one infuriatingly proper nobleman in particular behind.
Because he is the Duke of Radcliffe, William Spencerβs whole life revolves around his duties. He never steps foot outside the bounds of proper behavior, and he expects the same of those around him. With her devil-may-care ways, May vexes him nearly as much as she tempts him, but thereβs something about her that he just canβt resist. He knows heβs falling hard for her, but with lives that are worlds apart, will they ever be able to find any common ground?
Rina’s Thoughts
I truly enjoyed this book. William and May, two people completely opposite of each other and those differences are what brought them together. A conservative Duke and a free spirit Miss with different opinions and always clashed every time they were together. They could fight over a piece of bread if it was brought up to debate. These characters kept me engaged and entertained through out the book.
The book moved in a steady pace and the author permitted us to get to know these characters individually and it was impossible not to fall in love with them, to despair with them and yet hope that they would somehow find a way to each other despite the continent between them. I loved watching them fall in love with each other.
But I will say the end was a little too predictable. I wish she’d gone away and come back– but that was the making of another book.
Truly and engaging read and I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
