Content Warning Below - May contain spoilers

Misleading a Duke continues right where we left off in The Earl Not Taken… Lady Faith has finally found he betrothed, Nicholas, the Duke of Breckenridge, character to be pleasing and well suited to marriage after having her friends investigate him… but now he just wants her to call off the engagement.

As a means to an end, she tricks him into spending time with her at a secluded home, in order to better quant themselves and give their betrothal a chance.. too bad Nicholas’s past has other idea.

This book went from zero to fifty in mere seconds! I wasn’t ready for the action that hit so early in the book and was caught off guard. I was expecting a fluffier story and instead it was much grittier, but the characters strength was able to shine through. I was impressed by the characters, but still struggled at the beginning attaching myselfto their circumstances doe to how quickly things escalated.

After the high drama of the beginning passed, I felt like we were catching up on the characters before more drama was thrown in at the end… It was a bit of a roller coaster. I was pleased and was able to breath easy when the book wrapped up with the HEA and only another small wrench thrown into the mix!

Misleading a Duke by A. S. Fenichel is scheduled to release September 29th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

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.

I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
