The Truth about Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke
5.0
If you love reading about dukes but feel kind of squicky knowing that they were rich because they profited off of the labor of their tenants (look, we all read the same books and not all dukes can be caring, wonderful people who feel a true sense of noblesse oblige, can they?), this is the book for you. Great portrayal of a feminist heroine who comes up against a conservative hero. Could they both learn to compromise?
34-Word Summaries:
Meg: Who wouldn’t want to marry a duke? A suffragette, that’s who. Finally a book where marriage to a peer isn’t presented as a perfect fantasy! P.S. Don’t make fun of my middle-class clothes.
Laine: A Duke blackmails a secret lady into living with him for two weeks. He was burned by his first love and despises her occupation, she despises the aristocracy. The answer: a relatively tame affair.
