My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid
5.0
If I thought I loved historical romance before, I had never read Stacy Reid.
Was this the best historical I’ve ever read, I’m thinking absolutely yes. Beside the fact it has some of my all time favourite tropes, only one bed, Dark relationship, grumpy hero and sunshine heroine, this beautiful story also felt so real and raw.
Alexander’s injuries and subsequent disabilities are so well written and the way he and Kitty fall in love and that she loves all of him, not despite his disability but because if it, it’s part of him.
I was so afraid that this book would resolve with ‘and he was miraculously healed by her love’. While Kitty’s presence in his life makes it so much better, he will always be disabled and they make it work.
It was just so beautiful I couldn’t put it down. I am desperate for more in this series and cannot wait to dive into all of Stacy’s precious work!
