The Truth About Dukes by Grace Burrowes

1.0

Oof, definitely the worst of the bunch (so far). I feel like I’ve been pretty flexible with historic accuracy and fanciful events, but this book was so implausible in so many domains that I couldn’t overlook it. Backstory and emotions are repeated ad nauseum. The pinnacle of the plotline is somehow cliché and unrealistic.
SpoilerI doubt even Stephan could get a man with everything riding on the outcome of a trial to get so drunk during the lunch recess that he admits his entire ploy in the witness box.
It feels like a half-hearted effort.
