The Scoundrel Falls Hard

The Scoundrel Falls Hard


The Duke Hunt, Book #3

by Sophie Jordan


⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


The Duke Hunt series by Sophie Jordan returns with The Scoundrel Falls Hard and is more fun than ever. With this marriage of convenience romance between a female blacksmith and a charming scoundrel!


Gwen Cully finds herself alone, trying to run her family forge and home after she is left orphaned. In runs Kellan Fox, the man who has beef masquerading as the local Duke’s heir! With a mob at his heels and a bleeding heart, Gwen can’t help but put everything she had towards keeping this man alive against the crowd out for blood… even profess her undying love!!!


Now, in order to keep his neck, Kellen and Gwen must marry after their banns are read!


Obviously, these two are strangers, so they have some fun hiccups as they navigate this situation and decide to wed or not.


I had a lot of fun with this quick, light hearted story that had minimal angst and lots of fun banter. I got a real 90’s teen romance vibe from this story that included the extremely handsome hero that could have anyone falling for the girl that no one else wants. She too tall and works at a male occupation- definitely not wife material! But, Kellen works to sweep her off her feet and make her feel like the desirable woman she is to him, and was therefor it! Especially when he shows his affection through deeds and respecting her abilities.



The Scoundrel Falls Hard by Sophie Jordan was scheduled to release August 23rd, 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.

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 ...
