When the Duke Loved Me by Lydia Lloyd
5.0
I've seen this book on instagram over the last few months and couldn't wait to read it. I finished it last night and am still riding this book high.
WHAT. A. DEBUT!
Catherine and John had just the right amount of angst and tension in their love story. I appreciated that the hatred between their families didn't persist as the sole reason they couldn't be together until the end of the book. Both characters acknowledged their love for one another. Lloyd's secondary characters did a good amount of heavy lifting in terms of bringing conflict into the story. I also appreciated that Lloyd emphasized the complexity of her characters both primary and secondary. No one was all good or all bad.
I loved, loved, loved Catherine and John together. When a hero is just gone for the heroine and everyone can see it but him, I love it. I also adored John's obsession with Catherine's ink-stained fingers.
Cannot wait for the rest of this series. Lloyd did a great job of teeing up the Rank Rakes as the heroes of the remaining books. I'm very much hoping that Henrietta marries one of them.
I can't say enough good things about this book. Read it. You will love it.
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for review.
