A review by mirrorchaser
A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley
3.0
In all fairness to this book, I was not expecting a genuine historical romance. I didn't read the blurb and the cover made me think it would be more "rom com" because when one judges a book by its cover they expect historical romance to have a windswept regency woman on the cover.
Once I realized that this was *not* in fact a rom com, I began to enjoy it. I like the characters and think their situation is realistic. It is heavy on the romance and light on the plot which keeps perfectly with the genre, but there is a bit of a plot to give the characters some depth.
My only complaint here is that this book is dreadfully slow and the plot parts are in such large, disjointed chunks that they seem like they were written after everything else and thrown in.
