A review by bookishkelly
For the Duke's Eyes Only by Lenora Bell
4.0
Lady India Rochester and Daniel Bonds first appeared in Lenora Bell's What a Difference a Duke Makes, and they completely stole my heart from the get-go. In the first book in the School for Dukes series, they're side characters who are constantly sniping at each other. Here, their tangled past is revealed.
India and Daniel were childhood best friends, but after he broke her heart India vowed to never let anyone close enough to hurt her again. She puts love far from her mind, chases her passion and becomes an archaeologist. Meanwhile, Daniel plays the part of the rake while secreting serving the crown. When an artifact that India is searching for disappears, the two join forces and travel to Paris to find it.
This book was so much fun. I loved the treasure hunt, and the genuine danger that the hero and heroine faced on their journey. I also adored both India and Daniel. This is a romance that combined so many of my favorite tropes: enemies-to-lovers, mutual pining, secret identities, and more. Their chemistry was sizzling, but their bond goes far deeper than that. The mutual respect they have for each other really shines here, and made me love them both all the more.
I'd definitely recommend this to fans of historical romances, and I plan on checking out more of Bell's books soon.
