becki_bee 's review for:

4.0

I read the 1st book in this series, somehow missed the second, and this is the third. It was not at all necessary to have read the earlier books, though I enjoyed the one I *did* read.

In keeping with the rest of the series, "A Spinster's Guide to Danger and Dukes" centers a strong, intelligent woman and surrounds her with a nice supporting cast and a surprisingly modern love interest. This book begins with our heroine discovering that her sister has been accused of murder, and rushing to her sister's aide. Conveniently, along the way she runs into a duke that she has met a couple of times before (this was apparently in the book that I didn't read!). He agrees to help her with her sister and she agrees to help him with his grandmother, who is trying to make a match for him. This, of course, leads to my very favorite trope... the fake relationship. Whoop!

The pacing was nicely done, though I could have used another chapter at the resolution of the murder mystery. The mystery was interesting enough, The spice level was satisfactory. I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more from this author.

My thanks to the author, publisher, and #NetGalley for the opportunity to read and ARC of this book.
