A review by taisie22
A Most Unlikely Duke by Sophie Barnes
4.0
Rafe Matthews is living in St Giles, working as a dock laborer and earning extra money in bare-knuckle boxing when he inherits the Dukedom of Huntley. His new neighbor is Lady Gabriella, an etymologist who is about to be engaged to a respected Earl. Of course, they are almost immediately attracted to each other and Gabriella offers to tutors the new lord and his sisters in manners.
This is a well-written, well-told Regency romance. It has a modern feel that might off-put any strict historical fans, but I thought it a fun read. There were a lot of familiar situations if you read Regency romances, but Ms. Barnes almost always came up with a new twist and surprised me. I look forward to Amelia's story, the next book in the series.
