blodeuedd 's review for:

My Last Duchess by Daisy Goodwin
3.0

I remember watching The Buccaneers ages ago, and liking it. So yes of course I had to try this one. All fiction btw.

Cora Cash, the richest heiress in the world. And what could be better than to get a title with all that money. Yes better go to England and marry into old blood. Well that was her mother's idea.

Cora was spoiled rotten. But she was nice and thought the best of people. And she so followed her mother's lead. Yes she was foolish at times, but I liked her. And being an American heiress was not always easy, the English were stiff with traditions.

So yes duh the title says that she will land a Duke. The drama is her struggle to fit in. Money does not buy everything.

Her husband, I felt like she did, I liked him, I did not understand him.

Good book. And it made me miss Downton Abbey (even if it was not set in the same era, but still!)
