This was a cute, fun read. I thought things started a little slowly, but around 20% the book firmly reeled me in. Lysander was a difficult character to know at times, and in a different way, so was Neve—it was hard to distinguish sometimes between what was her act and what was her. That’s why this was a four star book for me, not a five. However, I appreciated Neve’s intelligence and her dedication to her sister. I also enjoyed the friendship among the ladies and look forward to seeing more of them in future books!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Always Be My Duchess was a unique and entertaining story and I enjoyed it!
I liked Lysander and Nève build up, of them coming together and the growth they both experienced.
This was a great introduction to a new series and a fan great way to introduce a new author.
