How to Catch a Duke

Rogues to Riches #6

by Grace Burrowes

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Stephen Wentworth’s story!!! This is story I have been waiting for since reading book one of the Rogues to Riches series!!!

I have definitely become attached to the Wentworth family as I’ve read the series and Stephen has always had a special place in my heart. He’s always been there for every family member in their pursuit of love, so to finally get an HEA his own- I was all in for it!

When the brilliant inquiry agent Abigail Abbott (We met her in book 5, The Truth About Dukes) needs help matching wits against a marquess- who can she turn to, other than a duke’s heir! Stephen is more than happy to assist the intriguing Abigail and unites her with to the powerful Wentworth family through a sham engagement while they find a solution to her problem...

In their case two brilliant minds are definitely better than one and two passionate heart are even better! I simply adored seeing these two fall for each other and their ensuing sparks!

These two have sparks from the get-go, but their circumstances prevent them from believing that this match could be a turn into a real engagement… I adored how Stephen and Abigail are matches in both wit and in the bedroom! They made such a great pair that I was rooting for them to find a way to get to their HEA from the beginning.

This was a good romance, but like any pairing with mixed backgrounds, there was a lot of talk about how they could never truly be together. At some times I felt that drag down the story, but overall true love and their quirkiness won out, making this a delightful romance!

How to Catch a Duke by Grace Burrowes was released April 13th, 2021.
