teodora_paslaru 's review for:
Betting on a Duke's Heart
by Royaline Sing
One of the best regency romances I've read.
It is the story of Dina, a heroine with Indian heritage and feminist views who would make every reader wish they could be her friends, and Aetius, a handsome duke apparently obsessed with horseracing and with some secrets in his past. The story starts when the duke decides to take Dina as a wife for the horse his father offers as a dowry, a thing Dina might disagree with. The two enter some kind of bet, a game that ends up bringing them closer instead of pulling them apart. The story is full of twists and turns and full of tension (a lot of it of sexual nature), classic tropes reimagined in a new way, and an ode to acceptance. To wrap this all up, we have the writing style, which is almost as good as the story itself if not better. A must read, especially for those who are into this genre.
