What's a Duke Got to Do With It by Christina Britton
3.75
emotional hopeful lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

This was such a sweet and lighthearted book, without losing its emotional heft. I really appreciated the way the second chance romance was set up: their "break up" made sense, their not being in touch made sense, and their unexpected re-meeting also tracked (if a little convenient for romance reasons). I really liked both Sebastian and Katrina, although they were both perhaps a little TOO good for my personal taste--I wanted a little more angst and fighting between them--and felt like their "only one night" excuse was a little out of character for them. Still, this is a perfectly enjoyable read and I appreciate the lighter, easier tone given the state of the world!
