The Truth about Dukes by Grace Burrowes

hebberelle's review against another edition

3.0

I didn't know this was book five in a series when beginning it, so dropping into the middle of a load of characters that I should already know was a bit much. I like that the Duke has epilepsy. Constance is gorgeously fierce. The rest of the story and characters were unremarkable.

Lady Constance Wentworth has almost perfected the state of being invisible. She much prefers blending into the background than being forced into the spotlight. Until she run across a face she can never forget and get life changes forget.
Robert, Duke of Rothmere, is finally claiming his rightful place. Yet he is preparing for the past and his illness to snatch his much deserved happiness from his grasp. When faced with Lady Constance he had found the reason to step outside the walls that keep him safe. She saved him and it's time to return the favor and so much more. And the two of them together are a sight to behold, where Robert truly takes on the mantle of the dukedom and Constance stands against those who would harm him.

bookwife's review against another edition

4.0

This was an interesting historical romance. I don't think I have read one quite like it.

Robert Rothmere, Duke of Rothhaven has been living his life in a mental hospital because of some head injuries that happened when he was younger. When he was 15 he fell in love with a young staff member only for her to disappear. Fast forward a few years and Rothhaven is entering the ton because his brother is getting married. There he sees the young staff member, Constance. They develop a friendship that eventually turns into more.

I really enjoyed this story. I really liked Robert and Constance. I like that the duke wasn't portrayed as perfect. He obvious had a rough life.. just the fact that he spent so much of his life in a mental hospital shaped alot of who he is now. I just really liked him. Constance was also an amazing character. She was the best friend/wife Robert could have ever dreamed of. She was a strong woman and I loved seeing them fall in love.
