Anna and the Duke by Kathryn Smith
5.0
Anna and the Duke is one of those random finds at a used bookstore (2nd & Charles) that I didn’t know I needed to read. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. I didn’t want to put it down to go to bed or to answer chats at work because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.
In this book, we follow Anna Wesley, Ewan McLaughlin, and Richard Fittzgerald as they make their way through a rough week full of various trials. Anna is engaged to Richard, but finds herself falling in love with Ewan, Richard’s new-found half-brother, after meeting him in her favorite bookstore. As the week progresses, a plot on Richard’s part is revealed to Anna and Ewan, a plot to take Ewan’s rightful inheritance of a dukedom and lots of money away from him. They work together to foil Richard’s plan and find a way for Anna to break off her engagement to Richard so she can marry Ewan instead.
I don’t read too many of these types of romance novels, but this is one of the few that I wanted to read after reading the back cover in the middle of 2nd & Charles several months ago. I only regret that I didn’t read it sooner!
