kame 's review for:
A Duke by Default
by Alyssa Cole
Probably a 3 1/2 star
I found this book from Rec it Wednesday from Smart B$tches insta stories.
It is a different book for me - but it was the answer to the prompt - "Favorite Contemporary you read recently" - so I hade to try it.
Portia goes to Scotland to be an apprentice for Tav a sword maker. He is rather gruff and doesnt think he needs help, and Portia is rather down on herself - as her family has llw expectations.
I like the idea, and enjoyed the new setting
Tav and Portia had chemistry right away - they fought it - then neither of them had confidence it could work.
This book is wordy - I know people speak differently in Scotland, but wow Portia could go down a self depreciating rabbit hole, and Tav spent time over thinking too.
The chemistry was there but low on romance.
The conflict that drove them apart was a long time coming and the resolution was a while coming but not satisfying to me - had me thinking thinking this may be this is one of those cliff hanger books - nope.
I may try another book from this author, but I might stay clear of this series.
