Never Kiss a Duke


Book Review

Never Kiss a Duke
By Megan Frampton

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
What is a duke to do when he no longer is a duke???

Sebastian has just been informed that his whole life is a lie... he is no longer the Duke (that’s now his cousin) and he is a bastard. Learning that this is all due to his mother’s manipulations he vows to not accept the charity of friends and family and to man something of himself in his own...

Ivy has had the luck of the cards determine her fate from day one. First her father gambles away her freedom and then with another game she wins her freedom! Gambling is her destiny, so why not embrace it and open her own gaming club??? 

Sebastian and Ivy come together after the moping former Duke comes to her club to forget his change in circumstances for a night... there’s immediate sparks until Sebastian opens his formerly privileged mouth and almost runs off her customers!!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Can he make it up to her (and make himself into a new man) with his big ideas to promote the club?? Ivy is willing to give it a gamble🎲😁!

This was a fun read and I liked how the characters transformations made them into better versions of themselves for themselves- not changing to be what someone else wants. The side characters were intriguing and I’m invested in how the rest of this dukely trio finds their HEA❤️!!!

Never Kiss a Duke by Megan Frampton is scheduled to release January 28th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harper Collins, Avon Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
