Forever My Duke

by Olivia Drake

After tragedy takes the life of her best friends, Miss Natalie Fanshawe must cross the ocean to fulfill their last requests…

If Natalie though crossing the Atlantic was an adventure, she’s in for a surprise when she must maneuver through British society… Dukes and Earls and viscounts , oh my!

The very formal Hadrian Ames, the Duke of Clayton is on his way to claim his bride. For a busy and serious minded man, this has been one of the easiest decisions of his life, for it has been made for him. It was decided by his late father and his former guardian that he would marry his Lady Elle, has second cousins and daughter of said guardian. What could go wrong?

When a snowstorm stops all travellers in their paces, all of Hadrian tidy plan blow away like fluttering snow and Natalies future becomes just as uncertain. Can mutual attraction and connection unit these vastly different personalities?

I enjoyed this story immensely, the Duke of Clayton was a perfect, his transformation tugged at your heartstrings… Natalie was a little repetitive in her belief the she could not waiver from her plans, when they were easily transferable to London or Britain. In general a fun read!

I absolutely loved this quote that is in the book description. “I find Miss Fanshawe to be quite charming—for an American.”—The Prince Regent. After reading, it will definitely make you laugh!

Forever My Duke by Olivia Drake is scheduled to release December 31st, 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
