The Once and Future Duchess by Sophia Nash
3.0
Reread in 2017.
On a second read, I found things I really didn't care for, and a LOT of inconsistencies throughout the series. It would seem that the author never wrote down the ages of her characters, because in the first book, Wright was said to be the youngest duke at age 27...but in this book, Barry is 23. Hmmm. Also, Isabelle is 18, right? I didn't note any significant passage of time, but by the end, Candover says that it's good to marry Barry because he's only three years older than her. Unless we're missing two years somewhere, this was jarring.
On a whole, the only book in the series that stood up the same to a reread was The Duke Diaries.
