A review by booksreaderandcoffee
A Duke by Any Other Name by Grace Burrowes

4.0

I just love the neighbors trope in a historical romance.

Lady Althea has a troubled past, her life changed radically when her brother became a Dukem but society hasn't accepted her which drives her to life in the country.

Nathaniel is a Duke with a secret, everyone nearby believes he is mad and he is more than happy being left alone, away from every social circle.

Nsthaniel isn't intrested to meet his new neighbor who has some extraordinary hobbies, such as raising pigs in her estate. But after the initial meeting he is intrigued and he decides to help her in order to make a good impression in the local society. Althea is more than happy to accept his advice and offer some cheese in exchange.

I really enjoyed this story, the secret that Nathaniel keeps wasn't something I saw coming and I really like how the reveal was build. The romance is so sweet and I loved the connection between them.

This book is part of a series but I read it as a standalone without any issue, there is enough information about the rest of her family and previous events that makes it easy to understand the backstory.
