Never Have I Ever With a Duke by Darcy Burke

4.0

This Regency romance is the first book in Darcy Burke’s new Spitfire Society series. Most of the characters were introduced in the related Untouchables series, and this book refers to events that occurred in that previous series. While all of these stories interconnect, each book focuses on one couple and can be enjoyed on its own. It is, however, fun to see all of the couples from the previous books make appearances in this book.

Both of the main characters in this story are awkward yet amiable. Graham and Arabella had good chemistry with each other, and it was also fun to watch them interacting with their friends. I loved the idea of the Spitfire Society, although I’m currently more curious about Ripley and Colton than the spitfires. Fortunately, we’ll see more of all these characters in future books in this series.

This is a light read with humorous moments and a sweet ending for our featured couple, although the characters do have to make some sacrifices to reach that happy ending. I thought the fencing lessons seemed unrealistic and the ending felt a little rushed, but otherwise this was a fun read.

Note that this book includes explicit scenes of premarital sex.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and volunteered to provide an honest review.
