Cinderella and the Duke by Lydia Drake
5.0
“Most men are idiots. A troublesome woman makes for a happy home.” - The Duke of Ashworth
Lydia Drake has truly outdone herself with her debut novel. I loved Cinderella and the Duke so much that I pre-ordered it before I finished it, I miss these characters now that the story is over and I have a book hangover that may last the rest of the year.
This Cinderella retelling was so good. From the characters to the banter to the flow of the story, I couldn’t get enough.
Julia is has come to London with her stepmother and stepsister so her stepsister (whom she loves dearly) can have the season that Julia never did. Now that Julia is considered a spinster she can escort her stepsister to her first ball which mean she has one night to find someone for herself and get away from her awful stepmother. And boy does she find someone.
Gregory, the Duke of Ashworth, isn’t simply a rake, he’s a rake that only sleeps with married women and tends to get challenged to duels frequently. Honestly, even Gregory is tired of it. So when a gorgeous woman saves him from having to fight another duel the least he can do is return her lost slipper. A slipper she lost after he kissed her.
I don’t want to give anymore away but I highly, highly recommend this book. It was entertaining, and spicy, and heart racing and spicy!
