This was thoroughly enjoyable, but I would caution that it's best read while reading the Midnight in Scotland series (you will only really understand these character relationships if you've read The Temptation of a Highlander, book three). This does not function well as a stand-alone. That said, it's laugh-out-loud funny and very hot.aranzazugarcia's review

Light hearted, fast novella. You can definitely read in one sitting.
It needed a bit of time for me to realise who we were talking to even though I only just finished the previous book a month ago!
I wish it had a bit more kink in it (I could see where the groundwork was laid very well but I wanted a lot more rope play lol)

What a delightful and hot story!
I’ve read it already in Duke in a Box Steamy Historical Romance, and it very well might be the best story in that anthology.

I shouldn’t be surprised at this point how well Elisa Braden intertwines passion with charming humour, but this novella was such a wonderful surprise.
I read it in one go and was baffled when the epilogue rolled in – I was so engrossed in the electrifying and beautifully scorching hot developing romance between Lucie and Silas (I’m starting to love that name for romance heroes. It’d getting up there with Valentine and Sebastian 🤭).
This novella was one of the most fun and charming take on “oops, I kidnapped the wrong hot guy” trope I’ve read in a while, and kept me grinning and giddy throughout the whole story. Not to mention pretty hot – I tell you, the author did not exaggerate when she called this one “a scorcher”.
The sex scenes were a glorious mix of intimate sensuality and almost frantic passion – and all of that was just a perfect way to show how both of the main characters saw themselves, what was their love language, and how they overcome their insecurities. There was so much soft vulnerability and comforting touches (especially from the hero – Silas was so tactile it made me so happy!), but also hot passion.
I loved how careful and mindful Silas was of the Lucies’s trauma, how he encouraged her to allow herself to feel pleasure without guilt and shame. And, of course, how she showed him his “hunger” was not “beastly”, and what a caring person he really was.
Even within its short length, Right Place, Wrong Duke managed to tell a lovely, feel good story, with such a scorching sweet heat.
Highly recommend!
