A Duke in Time

A Duke in Time

The Widow Rules, Book #1

by Janna MacGregor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Author Janna MacGregor starts up her latest series with one heck of a setup! The Duke of Radford’s misfit half-brother has passed away and at the reading of his will it comes to light that he left not one, but 3 widows behind! All three women didn’t know about each other, and they all have plenty to loose if this gets out…


Now Christian, Duke of Radford has to work with these ladies, especially his brothers first wife, the unofficial leader of the wives, to get them settled so he can finally wash his hands with his brother forever.


Katherine Vareck married her husband to further her business. Becoming a Lady made her upscale linens business even more accessible to the ton and London’s elite. Now with so much on the line, she needs the Duke to help her clean up the mess her husbands polygamy has created for not just her, but the other wives too… and she needs to keep her attraction to the dukes in check!


This was a good set up. Like any start to a new series a lot of the story went into setting up the group of characters, not just for this book, but to continue the series with. The wives all made for compelling characters, that I am eager to continue on with in upcoming books.


Katherine and the Duke’s relationship in this book had a good progression and benefited both of them, while the duke shows Katheryn what real passion and love is and she shows him how to fulfill the dreams he came home from the war with. They make an excellent pair in business and in bed!


I love seeing a couple that grows and supports each other! I enjoyed the aspect of sisterhood and found family as well. It was so nice to see these ladies who could have hated each other come together to not only survive their tragedy, but thrive together!



A Duke in Time by Janna MacGregor is scheduled to release June 29th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

But there was definitely a murder mystery discovered before the end of the wedding breakfast! This was such a treat!
