How not to Marry a Duke is my first book by Tina Gabrielle and I am really happy that I chose to read this as an ARC.
The blurb had me immediately when it mentioned an encounter with a pig and a fake dating trope with 2 mc’s that are both into the sciences. 
Add onto that a half Arabian FMC and a meddling godmother and you got me hooked.
Or rather; Warwick got me hooked!
Everyone knows I am a simp for the starchy emotionally stick up their butts MMC’s and Warwick is everything and more. The poor sod falls madly in love and everyone around him knows it, except he. Because love isn’t logical (ofcourse!) and he is logical. 

I didn’t want this book to end, I kept savoring it, trying to make this last but unfortunately it did end and I can never again read it for the first time. 

I think the story could’ve benefitted from another 50 extra pages and I found myself a bit disappointed with how it all wrapped up. I wanted a bit more and the conflict seemed to be settled too easy. 

Overall this was a fantastic read and this won’t be my last Tina Gabrielle.

Thank you Netgalley and Entangled publishing (also Tina thank you for approaching me in the first place!) for providing an ARC.
