The Duke Effect by Sophie Jordan
3.0
I don't know if it's just this series or if it's her historical's that I just don't tend to love, because her Devil's Rock series was great, I'm a bit leery of trying any of her other historical series at this point though.
Olivia is a herbalist, Constantine has been elevated to heir to a dukedom due to all 3 of his cousins passing away. She has been corresponding with him for years under her deceased father's name and he comes in search of him only to find he's been lied to over the years and he feels betrayed. He wants to find help for his aunt the Duchess who has chronic pain issues.
Their first meeting is fun she's up a tree collecting samples for her work until she notices a man in her pond, startled she falls into the water. She quickly tells him he is trespassing and to get out, so he does, stark naked.
The story overall fell a bit flat for me, like most of the rest of the series, though at least this heroine doesn't become less at any point like most of the others did.
