Put Up Your Duke by Megan Frampton
3.0
The premise of this book hooked me straight away. I love the idea of a heroine discovering who she is after a life of living to please her parents and society. I also adore a hero who is patient, gentle, and understanding towards the woman he cares about (though make no mistakes, he's still very strong and passionate). And I enjoyed how slowly the romance unfolded between them as they got to know each other.
However, there were a few missteps. The book lacked any strong sense of conflict, and I felt more could've been done with the dethroned duke. The writing was good, but not spectacular, and the dialogue sometimes felt off.
I still really enjoyed reading this. I think because it hit upon a lot of trope that I enjoy, I was more forgiving than I would've been without those elements.
I don't know if I'll actively seek out more from Megan Frampton. I did like Nicholas' brother and had hoped to read more about him, so if he ever gets a book I might check it out.
