Dukes Do It Better

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.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home.  White no where to go and a determination to shed his innocence and become a man, he enlist in a foot regiment… and stays away at war ...

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
