All the Duke I Need

All the Duke I Need 


Desperately Seeking Duke #3

by Caroline Linden


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


This is the third book in the Desperately Seeking Duke series, and readers of the series know that it’s based on a Duchess’s search for the heir apparent to her ailing son, the Duke. Each book has followed one if the potential heirs as they learn of their status and find love.


I loved how this story features the last and elusive heir, William, right under the Duchess’s nose, as he takes on a posit as the Duke’s steward!


This turn of events allowed for plenty of behind the scenes time with the Duchess and the Duke, who we have only had a small acquaintance with thus far!


In the the vein, our heroine is none other than the beloved Duchess’s companion and honorary daughter of the house, Phillipa! This was a another circumstance where we get a lot of the blanks from past books filled in.


Lastly, I just want to say how much I love the blending of the common/ working man with the the aristocratic characters. She openly shared the biases of the time and give a realistic portrayal. 


Overall, this was just a really good HR - definitely should be on your HR TBR!



All the Duke I Need by Caroline Linden was published April 26th, 2022.



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