A review by english_lady03
The Duke Meets His Match by Karen Tuft

3.0

I had a few reservations about this novel at first, especially when the Americanisms started to get to me, It proved to be one of those stories that improved once you got into it. Susan is unsual as an older heroine, and honestly, I prefer novels in which the hero and heroine are older or not that physically attractive. I absolutely hate this trope of "I can't love him because he's old and ugly".

Aside from that it was a fairly standard frenemies to love story, or misundersood lovers. Two people who got off on the wrong foot and misjudged each other learning that they were wrong and growing into love. Vague shades of Pride and Prejudice.

I've never read anything by this author before, but I would certainly consider her work in future. Perhaps not one of my "go to" Regency authors Julie Klassen, Sarah Ladd and Carolyn Miller but still very good.

Thankyuou to Covenant Communications for approving my request to view this title. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
