A Most Unlikely Duke by Sophie Barnes

4.0

I really enjoyed Raphe and Gabriella and I have to say that the cover is pretty evocative of them. So often the cover has nothing to do with the characters but this one really makes me think of them. Raphe is certainly a different sort of duke, it was an unexpected inheritance and he certainly didn't grow up in privilege. Gabriella did but doesn't hide the fact that she doesn't always fit in. There's a lot of exploration of class issues but it doesn't overshadow the slow burn romance between the two. There's some unnecessary family drama at the end but it didn't take much away from the main characters or the secondary ones that will be filling out the series.
