Dukes Do It Better

Misfits of Mayfair, Book 3

by Bethany Bennett

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

After a series of bad decisions leaves Lady Emma “widowed” in a sea side town with her young son, when a one-nigh stand leaves her on the precipice of a future she never dreamed possible!

Dukes Do It Better picks up after the previous book and is thouroughly intwined in the secrets that were revealed with in West End Earl. This one feels like a continuation of that book, much more intertwined that the first two in the series.

I really enjoyed how fate seemed to bring these characters, Lady Emma and the Duke of Trenton together.The one-night stand and the further acquaintance and other connections made for a fun ”small world” situation. One night was definitely not enough for these two, they were a steamy pairing and the text reflects it!

Lady Emma is a mother and sometimes the addition o f children in romance can feel like an after thought. This was not the case and Alton was a sweet addition to the story and help carry the pet forward. Some of his scenes were my favourites and his presence was the key to Lady Emma’s rehabilitation for wild child to responsible young lady… who still enjoys a good tryst now and then with the right duke… wink, wink!

Overall, this series of three books really reads as a trilogy and by the end of Duke Do It Better readers will be pleased to see all the characters happy and settled. As this series wraps up, I am excited to see what Bethany Bennett has in store for us next!

Dukes Do It Better by Bethany Bennett was released May 24th, 2022.

Thanks so much to Forever Romance and Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
