How Not to Marry a Duke by Tina Gabrielle

4.0

Adeline has moved to the country after her half brother has ejected her from the family home when their father passes away, she hopes to become the local healer. Warwick has temporarily moved to the country to focus on his work but the neighbors dogs have been constantly barking for almost 24 hours, he decides to confront the neighbor only to find it's a beautiful woman with a pet pig that promptly charges him, knocking him down and aggravating an injury. He becomes Adeline's patient as she helps heal his arm and when he finds her arguing with her brother about a forced marriage claims to be courting her. They hatch a plan to keep her unwed and get his godmother off his back about courting anyone so he can focus on his work.
This was fun, I enjoyed that the heroine was mixed race, not so much that her brother was a racist jerk about it, but the heritage and traditions are always interesting to read about and the main and side characters where all intelligent and interesting people. The bonus shish kebob recipe is a fun extra as well.
