A review by rohaniroslan
The Truth About Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke

3.0

The story was okay, but the writing needs serious editing because the language is TOO modern for a 19th Century setting, and I would expect that even at this time period, where social class still matters, that some characters would at least inhabit the correct forms of address to the peerage. So it really annoyed me that Irene - a 19th Century agony aunt for a gossip magazine AND who a niece of some random nobleman - addresses Henry, the Duke of Toruquil, "Duke!" It's too much. She would have been an outcast from the get-go. I also notice a lot of historical romance novels nowadays try to be politically correct, especially on issues about feminism. I don't have a problem with that, but it's just not as subtle as it used to be. Irene's meddling and self-righteousness annoyed me so much, her silly ideals made Henry's seem more moral and honorable.
