Good Duke Gone Wild by Bethany Bennett

4.0

You know I love a bookish heroine. Good Duke Gone Wild features a bookseller, who also writes popular erotic romance novels under a nom de plume. She’s smart, insightful, and resilient. 

Our heroine falls for a widowed duke, who is on the lookout for a new wife—he does have a duty to beget an heir after all—but his dowager duchess has very specific guidelines for whom would make a proper wife to represent the duchy.

We get a forbidden love / love across classes and “We’ll do this with a known end in sight” situation with a bit of mystery thrown in and some strong, supportive friendships / familial relationships. This is the first book in the Bluestocking Booksellers series, and I’m eager to see where Bethany Bennett takes these booksellers next!

I received an advance copy of the book from Forever. All review opinions are my own.
