The Duke Report by Fenna Edgewood
4.0
Cherry Lamb is a widow who is fighting the good fight for those who don’t have a voice of their own. With her personal experience of being a woman of colour, she uses the power of her quill to right the wrongs she sees. The Duke of Crossley is a widower who treats all people fairly regardless of their station in life. Cherry wrongfully accuses Cross of unspeakable acts and in response, he invites her to his country estate to judge him based on fact – and not an anonymous tip.
Cross and Cherry’s romance is sweet and multifaceted. They not only have to deal with their fear of loss (having both lost their spouses), but also the cruelty of society due to their different social classes and ethnicity. From the start sparks fly between the hero and heroine and they practically singe the page. Both main characters have children and it was joy to what their daughters play a prominent role in the story at various points – which also added humour to the story. These are two strong characters and yet they show their vulnerabilities in different ways. I truly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the rest in the series.
