Dubious about the Duke by Alexa Aston

5.0

The Second Sons, a group of 5 men raised as spares, shared a close bond. They made a family for themselves in their appointed roles in life, Life had other plans however, and one by one each of these men became titled men, finding love and happiness. Win is the last of this group, and despite seeing the happiness of his friends from finishing true love matches, he feels he will never know that and plans a business arrangement rather than marriage. Then he meets Seraphina Nichols and all that changes.
Polar opposites these two are. Win is outgoing, lively and confident where Sera is shy, quiet and reserved. Their love story is such a natural progression, that even reading it feels as though they were always together, What really stands out in this story is watching Win learn what it is to have love in his life, Despite growing up without any love, his heart is full to bursting with love to give. Seeing him take to his nephews and how easily they bond with him & Sera was truly beautiful. The fact that this was a love story of a family, not just a couple made it all the more special. I greatly enjoyed getting to know this group of men, and their lovely wives.
