I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. A Duke with decent morals and the love for a woman he tries to deny. An American woman who is feisty and speaks her mind. Perfect combination for a well-written novel. I also loved the other characters that surrounded Thomas and Emma. I'm sure their stories will be just as intriguing.

DNF 35% He’s super creepy, his friends are creepy, and the writing is all over the place. All historical times are jumbled together, and things that didn’t exist at the same time are mentioned here as if they were. Jane Austen being famous in America while still alive, people using fedoras (which would have been fine but for Jane Austen being alive at the same time), letters between Boston and London arriving as if they had been delivered by plane (way too fast). I didn’t care for the characters, and the weird power dynamics between the MC’s didn’t work for me. Add a love triangle between brothers and I’m out. I hate love triangles.

I thought the story had promise but I mean. I could barely remember the hero's name at the end of the book. *yawn* He started out saying that he didn't see why someone would want to marry for love, and then five minutes later, it is near and dear to him. She dropped the whole Amy thing--completely worthless. She dropped Amesbury.. I assume because there will be a book about him. Myles was just running around wanting to marry everyone he met, and everyone wanted to marry Emma, who had very little in the way of personality. There was zero conflict. They wanted to marry each other. There were no real obstacles, but there was pages and pages about those manufactured reasons anyway.

Dnf. It wasn't that it was so bad. Just that it wasn't good. Something about the flow as well as the premise annoyed me and I couldn't continue.

Pleasantly surprised, I've been craving a regency romance since I finished watching Bridgerton and this was just what I needed
