Duke Looks Like A Groomsman, by Valerie Bowman, is book 2 in The Footmen's Club series. After reading book 1 I was interested in the character of Rhys Sheffield enough to buy this book. I wasn't disappointed but there wasn't enough angst for me. The story is good and well written but I'd have like the couple to try harder to keep apart or a lot more sneaking around. They were so nice and belonged together that I had to like them.

In the last book we saw how 3 men pretended to be servants at a houseparty, now we learned more about their bet. Rhys just wants to win the bet, he does not want to have someone fall in love with him and not his title like his friend does. Or like his other friend who jumps at the chance to find a traitor to the crown.

So Rhys works as a groomsman, and then the woman he thought the would marry comes to the stable. Omg, these two! Rhys left because of real reasons, but he should have told her! Then he got angry because she much much later on meets someone new. Well she had not heard from you in a year, of course she moved on. You do not get to be angry, you also left because you are a silly Duke! Julianne oh she got be angry, she thought he would propose and then he just left.

She tortures him quite a bit because he wants to win his bet and she does everything to make him fail. Rather amusing. And I also wanted them to talk, really talk, to get it all out. Also to fall madly in love again, as they never stopped.

Of course they are still silly even close to the end, only because they are both so stubborn, but love always finds a way.

I liked them, stubborn idiots as they were. It was an easy listen. Though it does end with a cliffhanger of sorts, about that third guy I told you about, he who wanted to find a traitor so this leads into his book.

Good narrator, easy listening too. Good voices, and as always, historical romance is so good in audio. I prefer it these days

The plot to the story sounds like a good one. I like the characters as well. I’m not able to connect my self with the characters though. The dialogue among the characters seems to not pull me into the story. It’s like a song and dance dialogue. I want to say they are going through the motions. It’s hard to connect to the book. It’s not believable. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.
