The Duke Heist

The Duke Heist

The Wild Wynchesters, Book 1

by Erica Ridley

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


The first book in Erica Ridley’s new series, The Wild Wynchesters  introduces the the Winchester family and hooks you in for a fun and fiesta ride!


Chloe Wynchester is the unofficial leader of the Wynchester family, that consists of 6 orphans that were adopted buy the Baron Vanderbean and given all their hearts desires and the freedom to live life as they see fit… 


And the Wynchester’s are bound and determined to retrieve a painting that the family purchased together and was stolen from them by the Duke of Fairfield. The original duke os gone and his son the new Duke has not been amenable to a fair trade or purchase of their painting since the Wynchester are beneath his notice.


Chloe gathers the family together in order to use everyones unique skills to infiltrate the Dukes home and confidence in order to find their painting and bring it home.


Too bad that infiltrating the Duke’s confidence will leave both him and her open to each other, showing their true selves and being seen as never before. Can Chloe exact her plan after falling for Lawrence, the Duke?


I really appreciated the time taken by Erica Ridley to expose the many layers of the Chloe and Lawrence characters. Both were not as they appeared and I got a good Pride and Prejudice vibe from their initial impressions of each other! The story along with the hero and heroine had so many interesting facets that that made reading this book such a fun treat.


Lastly, can I just say, what an excellent start to a new series! I absolutely loved all of the Wynchester siblings and I’m ready to following along on all of their HEA’s! The siblings really stole the show when they were on the page- there will be some interesting stories to come and I can not wait!



The Duke Heist by Erica Ridley is scheduled to release February 9th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing through NetGalley and the physical copy from Erica Ridley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
