The Lost Duke of Wyndham
4 Stars

A sweet romance with no real conflict, which makes this a light and fun read.

Jack is charming and witty, and while my preference is usually for the dark, brooding and tortured hero, he is an endearing character. Grace is a likable heroine, but her personality is quite bland and she lacks backbone. Yes, she is a lady's companion but she is not completely without resources and could have been a little less prim and proper and a bit more firm in standing up to the obnoxious Dowager Duchess.

The lost heir plot is well developed and entertaining, and Quinn's writing is, as always, smooth and absorbing. The secondary characters, Thomas in particular, have definite potential and I look forward to reading his and Amelia's story.

After almost a week I've decided to call it quits. I like Jack and Grace. It's just that having the two romances competing for equal time it's like neither really gets enough "screen" time.

i can't be the only one dissapointed by the fact that Jack ended Up being the duke and not Thomas

Once I got to the 'lost heir because his dad died in the Irish Sea' part...

Yeah, no. I can't.
