Dukes, Actually by Erica Ridley
5.0
Dukes, Actually is the 5th book in the 12 Dukes of Christmas Book series. It is another great novella by this author and perfect for a cozy read on a cold day. The novellas in this series all take place in the town of Cressmouth, that had been nicknamed Christmas. They are all fast past, have fun characters and can be read as standalones.
Adam, the Duke of Azureford, appeared cold and aloof, but instead he was shy and didn’t know how to make conversation. It was spring and he decided to return to his summer cottage in Christmas to learn how to converse and flirt in order to find a bride. He is going to change his library into a billiards room, learn to play billiards, the have a party and practice conversing with others before he returns to London for the season.
Carole Quincy loved her father, architecture, and billiards. She was cheerful, outgoing, and loved by all. She had dropped her book of drawings at Adam’s party six months prior and needed to retrieve it before anyone saw her drawings. She wasn’t expecting Adam to be at his summer cottage or his library to be rearranged and complicating her search for her book. Once she learned of Adam’s goals, she wanted to help him.
Carole knew she could never leave Cressmouth because her father would have no one to take care of him. Adam thought he had to marry brilliant society lady. Could their future be together when they both had different plans? I received an ARC and am voluntarily providing a review.
