Say Yes to the Duke


Say Yes to the Duke


The Wildes of Lindow Castle #5

by Eloisa James

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

For some strange reason every time before I start a new Eloisa James novel I get scared… what if its not as good as the ones before?!?! AND every time I read a new book I am elated that it is!!! 😄

The fifth book in the Wildes of Lindow Castle, Say Yes to the Duke does not disappoint. I loved both the main characters, the not often heard from before, Viola and new to the family, Devin, the Duke of Wynter. They were a delightful sunshine/ grump pairing and I enjoyed very moment of their irregular courtship.

These two created sparks✨ from their first interaction where they both loathed each other through to their growing friendship and swift marriage. I loved that this story didn’t end after the marriage like many romances. The focus of the story centred around Viola and Devin’s growing love and learning to trust each other, which continued long after the vows were said.

💜Viola often states that as her mother’s daughter from her first marriage, that she didn’t feel Wilde enough and that she didn’t belong… but after reading her delightful story, I can honestly say that she definitely belongs in the rank of the Wildes (high Paris- indeed!) and is in the running to be my favourite of them all!



Say Yes to the Duke by Eloisa James is scheduled to release May 26th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Bride's Guide to Marriage and Murder

A Bride's Guide to Marriage and Murder Countess of Harleigh Mystery, Book 5 by Dianne Freeman ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 They finally got hitched!! Fans of the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series will be happy to hear that before any murder took place Lady Harleigh and Mr Hazelton were married with all their friends and family in attendance! But there was definitely a murder mystery discovered before the end of the wedding breakfast! This was such a treat! As a series fan I was so happy to see Francis and George finally get married and now as Mr. and Mrs. Hazelton continue their detective work. These two are the ideal Victorian era couple goals.

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 ...
