A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley

The ARC of this book was provided by the publishers via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent historical romance. It took me a little to get into the story – the writing in the first few pages felt a little off, and it was tricky for me to really understand what was going on. Once I got into the story, there was a lot to like. I enjoyed that the protagonist is a POC from the Caribbean, it added a different perspective that is often lost in Regency romance. It was also great to see a realistic portrayal of wartime injuries during that time.
However, I didn’t fully buy into the romance, and there were some choices that made me feel frustrated.
Overall, this was a middle of the road read, with a few bright spots that make it stand out from other books in the genre.
