My One and Only Duke (Rogues to Riches #1)

by 


I received this ARC in return for an honest review.

Grace Burrows’ “My One and Only Duke” is the start to her new series, Rogues to Riches. Opening the story in Newgate prison with wealthy banker, Mr. Quinn Wentworth whittling away his time while he awaits his scheduled execution in the best prison accommodations money can buy. Miss Jane Winston is an aging (in regency times!) widowed, spinster (?!?!) who is visiting Newgate with her preacher father. While Jane’s father inflicts his sermonizing on the prisoners, Jane is escorted to Quinn’s cell to wait for her father...

The chemistry between Quinn and Jane is delightful from the beginning and their irregular “courtship” and relationship grabs you from the beginning. Not only are Grace’s main characters great, she has set the series up wonderfully with a cast of family members that you can not wait to hear their stories as well. I’m loved reading Quinn and Janes love story and am already looking forward to the next one in this series. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
