⭐⭐⭐⭐

This delightful series concludes with an actual duke this time. Alexander, duke of Nottingvale, is hosting his annual Christmas party in Cressmouth, but this year he is also looking for a bride. His house is besieged by young eligible ladies and their chaperones and Alex is feeling overwhelmed. But he knows his duty, and he is a stickler for the rules. Until Cynthia Louise waltzes in, accompanying her cousin, Gertrude, who is one of the eligible young ladies on display for the duke’s perusal. But Alex only has eyes for Cynthia Louise, the absolutely last person he should consider as his future duchess. She is full of life, passion, wild ideas, and hasn’t yet met a rule that she didn’t break.

Another great story of a love that defies all rules and duties, filled with funny moments and steamy romance. A definite must-read for your Christmas list this year.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Oh yes, for sure.
