A review by isabelisalright
The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham

4.0

3.5
This one was quite a ride. I will discuss the 'cheating' portion later in my review with spoilers.

This reads like literary romance. It's slow and steady but also very emotional. I really felt for Poppy and felt it was a steady march towards something.

It took me a little longer than normal to finish this because of the writing style. It was a slower paced read overall. I will applaud the fact that this is a twist on the normal kink in regency. I enjoyed Archer not being the dominate and Poppy's interest in exploring it.

Now for spoilers specifically what the cheating involves.
SpoilerArcher, the hero, is a to submissive. This is what the cheating involves. Him and a mistress but no actual sex occurs. I'm not saying it's not cheating but it is your choice to decide if it is a deal breaker for you. I found it was resolved enough that I was okay with it in the end.
