The Heiress Gets a Duke

The Gilded Age Heiresses #1

by Harper St. George

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A romantic jaunt into he world of the Dollar Princesses of the Gilded Age!

The story opens with a dark insight into the world where American heiresses are sold to the British aristocracy all in the name of a title and social prestige.

After August Crenshaw witnesses the devastating match of her childhood friend to a Duke, she heeds her call a few months into the marriage to come visit her in England…

August feels terrible for her friend, knowing that her family has the type of relationship where they would never dream of selling their daughters for titles. She is a respected and important part of her father’s iron business.

All this is true until a destitute duke sets his sights on the Crenshaw heiresses. August will de anything to save her sister from a loveless future and in turn she catches the dukes attention for herself. August’s family all but hands her over to him with a sack of money!

All the while, Evan Stirling, our erstwhile duke, decides that he can and will change August’s mind and make her want to choose him. A kiss a day doesn’t hurt his odds!

I was worried when I started this book, that it would be less romance and more 19th century reality. I was pleasantly surprised when our heroine gets to London England and the hijinks begin! This enemies to lovers romance was a pure delight.

A bonus to this story, were the quirky supporting characters of Evan’s best friend, the Earl of Leigh and August’s sister… I can’t wait for these two advisories to have their own story!

This was a great glitter and grit romance!

The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. George is scheduled to release January 26th, 2021.

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

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home. White no where to go and a determination to shed his innocence and become a man, he enlist in a foot regiment… and stays away at war ...

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance! Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed. De...

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 ...
