The writing in this book wasn’t amazing but the romance was steamy.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of One Night With The Duke! All opinions in this review are my own.
The biggest strength of One Night With The Duke is that the author writes tension really well! Although Eliza knows she should stay away from the Duke, she can't help herself. I liked the danger that shrouded the Duke in the beginning with the rumor that he killed his family but felt like the novel sort of lost this thread in the middle of the book only to pick it back up at the end.

One Night with the Duke is the first book in this series and my first read from the author. I have heard so much about JEM and what's the best way to pop my JEM cherry than to read her first foray to regency romance?
This is a slow burn romance, which is to be expected from this era, nonetheless the slow build pretty much add up to the intensity of the final deed. And whew, was it sexy! The story is made up of interesting characters with a compelling plot that will hook you as you go along. Eliza is strong willed, smart young lady and the rules of the ton is confining for her, so she tried to find an outlet by writing in her father's newspaper. When the youngest son of the Duke of Chester, Johnny came back to the society's fold, she couldn't resist writing about our mysterious Duke. Needless to say, sparks fly but the Duke's reputation of spending only one night with a woman, will that be enough to uncover his many layers? Loved it and couldn't wait for what's next.

JEM going into historical regency romance had me intrigued, the story was good, the beginning was slow, then it picked up and ended a bit rushed for my liking. There were similar situations with other historical series I have read and that was something I didn't expected from the author, but I like the twists the story had at the end. Eliza was a great character, I love everything about her, she was perfect for the Duke and the story, but let's be honest we all wanted to know about the Duke, he was a mystery and as all male characters we know written by JEM, we all wanted to see how he was and his story. I would've loved to know a bit more about his story. The elements of the regency genre were very well executed, no modernization and accurate to the time period, I like the steam and the way the main couple interacted with each other, their chemistry and what they found in the other, they certainly had to overcome a few things, and I loved every page of how their story unfolded. I can't wait to read the next in the Belmore Square series.

Is there nothing that Jodi Ellen Malpas can’t write? No matter what it is, she brings her A game.
You would never guess that this was JEMs very first historical romance, which is perfectly written. I could not get enough.
I absolutely love regency romances, so when I found out that JEM was setting out of her comfort zone and giving this genre a try, I just knew I had to read it. I will read anything that she writes, she is a true master
ONWTD is a slow burn, but man oh man, it is an intense slow burn. The chemistry and sexual tension between Eliza and Johnny was fire. It wasn’t the usual sparks or tingles, Even though she got plenty of those tingles, it was damn near combustable.
With each and every encounter that Johnny and Eliza had, it ignites some chaos within you and then the flames burn out and you can just feel the passion just ooze right off the pages when they finally give into each other. Fireworks, Full Body Tingling delivered in beautifully in the JEM fashion we all love. I was sucked into Belmore Square and did not want to leave.
”Sometimes in this world, Eliza, we, as women of the ton, must do what is expected in order for us to do what is unexpected.”
Eliza is polite, yet outspoken. She is young, confident, challenging, and spunky. She is 19 and has been recently uprooted from the life that she loved. She longs for her old comfortable life in the country, where she had more freedom to be herself. Now living in London, where everything is about money and power, she feels trapped.
Johnny is mysterious, sexy, and demanding. I think he is the most unique alpha that JEM has written, and easily become one of my favorites The arrival of the Duke of Chester, after being accused of murdering his whole family, has everyone on edge. But it has peaked the interest of Eliza. She has heard the rumors of the Duke, but she still finds herself attracted to the man.
”By how loud you scream when I pleasure you.”
JEM gives us the blueprints of her beautiful alpha males when it comes to the Duke of Chester, Johnny Winters. He is fiercely passionate, controlling, overly protective. Remind you of any other beautiful alpha males from JEMs shelves?

It was like a sexy, mystery version of Bridgerton. It’s rather slow and I did skip a chapter or two cause I’m impatient as hell but it held my attention for a good while and it was rather funny. Can’t wait for the second
