Never a Duke

Never a Duke

Rogues to Riches #7

by Grace Burrowes


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


The Wentworth family sage concludes and comes full circle with the final story and HEA for a series favourite, adopted Wentworth, Ned!


We met Ned in the first book when he was in Newgate with Family patriarch, Quinn Wentworth. He was a scrap of a boy then, but he stole my heart from the get-go and has been a favourite reoccurring character ever since! I loved getting to see him grow up and come into his own man, a man as worthy and needed as any other of the Wentworth men. 


In Never a Duke, Ned is now managing the family bank and settled in his role in the family, but he still feels like an outsider at times. Then comes Rosalind and he is finally seen for his whole self as never before!


Rosalind has asked Ned to help her find her missing lady companions… there have been two that have disappeared and no one has given a care about their sudden disappearance… that is until she asks a former boy of the streets, Mr. Ned Wentworth, and he takes her concerns to heart and in turn he captures her heart as well!


This was a real treat of a series finale. I loved getting all the back story on Ned’s character, along with the updates/ cameos of the other Wenworth family members. This rags to riches series has been a true delight and the last book was just as enjoyable as the first!


Overall, this was a perfect ending to a delightful family series! 



Never a Duke by Grace Burrowes was released April 26th, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing) through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
