Duke-ing it Out by Jami Albright
3.0
I love this author so much, but DUKE-ING IT OUT didn't quite work for me.
WHAT I LOVED:
- Grumpy + Sunshine forever! Duke is so swoony and crabby and straight-laced! I loved it when he finally ket go of some of his control. And Sienna is fiery and caring and I loved how she found her way in this book.
- I always love Found Family in my romance and this book does it so well.
- I fell in love with this small Texas town!
- This book had some great laugh-out-loud moments.
WHAT I STRUGGLED WITH:
- I felt like there was a disproportionate amount of side story in this book. We get A LOT of exposure to the town and side characters. I found myself thinking, "But what about Duke and Sienna?" fairly often.
- The ending felt very rushed. There is heaps of conflict throughout the book and it all gets resolved within the final chapter.
DUKE-ING IT OUT is a good read, just not a great read for me. But if you love small town and grumpy+sunshine then you might really love it!
RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️
STEAM LEVEL: Rated R
TRIGGERS: death of parent, cancer, domestic abuse (past), parent emotional abuse
FEELS-O-METER: 2/5 - A bit of drama, but still a light read.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
