The book was good, I liked the heroine more than the hero. It started off a little slow but is well reading. The romance, itself, was well done.I did enjoy the book, although there were times it felt a bit stilted.For readers who enjoy historical romances with a bit of a twist, this book will be one you want in your to be read pile.
PS : thank you very much to Netgalley for this ARC

This regency romance begins two years after the Duke of Greyland shares a passionate night, and a large sum of his money, with destitute widow Cassandra Blake. Still recovering from his broken heart, and wondering where the woman could have gone after disappearing from his bed, Greyland is shocked to run into Cassandra at a gaming hell in London. As it turns out, Cassandra is not the respectable lady she pretends to be, but a born-on-the-street, rough-and-tumble rogue who swindles wealthy marks to survive. When the Duke learns her secret, his fiery love turns to white-hot scorn, but the two of them cannot deny their passion for long, especially when Cassandra seeks the Duke’s help after her business partner runs off with the money she needs to finally “go honest.” In From Duke Till Dawn, author Eva Leigh takes fire and ice and makes steam: the fiery nature of Cassandra unleashes something in the picture-perfect Duke, and vice versa, and their passion is animalistic. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of character development in this novel as well, and the characters’ connection develops naturally, with each revealing hidden depths. The plot sometimes relies too much on backstory--the reader sees very little of the Duke and Cassandra’s first meeting, making it hard to believe he is lovesick after two years. However, once the plot sheds its requisite dressing, it turns into a wild and satisfying romp through the streets and sheets of London.

Eva Leigh is becoming a favorite historical romance author for me. Class conflict, questions of forgiveness. Much to love (and more to be written if one remembered to review right after reading). I'll look for more in this series! 3.75/5

Trigger warnings: theft, lying, kidnapping, incarceration of a parent (in the past).
Meh. I've read four other books by this author and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. So I went into this one assuming it would be the same way. But it just...wasn't.
I didn't really care about the "we sort of fell for each other a couple of years ago and then she vanished and wait what she's a con woman??" plot. I didn't really care about whether Alex and Cassandra ended up together. I didn't care if she found the dude who screwed her over. I. just. didn't. care.
I think ultimately I like more humour in my romance books?? IDK IDK.

3.5 stars. Felt like it took forever to get to the actual plot of this story. The last 100 or so pages were great but prior to that was just a lot of fluff, felt very surface level with the characters until the end
