How to Love a Duke in Ten Days (Devil You Know #1)

by  

Kerrigan Byrne has started her new series, The Devil You Know with an ablate bang! From the moment I started on the first pages of How To Love A Duke in Ten Days, I was hooked and enamoured with the leading ladies of this new series. They call themselves the Red Rogues and have banded together at boarding school together. These are the girlfriends you want on your side! 

How To Love A Duke in Ten Days tells the story of the strong, intelligent and beautiful archeologist, Lady Alexandra Lane as she ventures to the castle of the scarred Duke of Redmayne, in order to rescue her friend and fellow Rogue from her marriage to said duke! Ever the loyal friend, Alexandra proposes herself to the duke!

Both the characters of Alexandra and Piers , the Duke of Redmayne, are wonderfully written and immediatly relatable, both are flawed and in need of something to make them whole. I fell in love with their intimate kindnesses to each other.

I adored this story and am now anxiously awaiting the next book in this series. Also- the cover art on the book is perfect! Beautiful and taken right from the book, I love it! 

How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne is due to release August 27th, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...

But there was definitely a murder mystery discovered before the end of the wedding breakfast! This was such a treat!

They easily work together on mutual goals and know how to play up each other’s strengths, while compensating for any weaknesses. They are definitely better together!
