This was a really fun book to read. This is the second book in Samara Parish's Rebels with a Cause series; the first being <i>How to Survive a Scandal</i>. In <i>How to Survive a Scandal</i>, Edward Stirling, Duke of Wildeforde, allows his engagement to end with really no fight -- this story shows why that is the case.
When Fiona McTavish, also introduced in <i>How to Survive a Scandal</i>, comes back into Edward's life, they find themselves forced to cohabitate because of a legal problem that Fiona finds herself embroiled in. Through forced proximity, their past amour resurfaces and this second chance romance story is both sweet and fiery.
I really enjoyed how much the members of Edward's staff and family had roles to play in this story. It was a beautiful example of found family. I also thought that Fiona's cross dressing brought up some funny moments reminiscent of the Bard's work.
If you enjoy open door historical romance books, start with <i>How to Survive a Scandal</i> before picking up <i>How to Deceive a Duke</i>! I for one cannot wait until the third book is published in this series in Fall 2022! Many thanks to the publisher for gifting me a copy of the book for an honest review.
