The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan
5.0
A fun, gentle historical romance with a HEA andAsian characters in a regency setting? heck yeah. This has been on my TBR for a while (if not on goodreads, on my radar generally because [a:Courtney Milan|2906892|Courtney Milan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1245255772p2/2906892.jpg] was one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter), and I got around to it for the superficial duty of keeping my Kindle streak alive. This made for great little breaks of cute banter and feelings over the last couple weeks!
I really appreciate how racism experienced wasn't shied away from (Jeremy's aunt suggesting he marry a white British woman to dilute out his mother's heritage, thinking about what's good for the title but not necessarily Jeremy comes to mind for me)
I LOVE the idea of quirky village festival that draws hundreds once a year (apparently Courtney's inspiration as well, for the Royal Shrovetide Football event), and Chloe with her lists was a very relatable heroine.
I wouldn't call this one spicy (two sex scenes, both were very sincere), but again, playful banter was very swoonworthy.
