The Duchess Takes a Husband by Harper St. George
4.0
The Duchess Takes a Husband is the final book in The Gilded Age Heiresses series by Harper St. George and if you haven't picked these books up yet, you definitely should. I'm actually sad to see this series wrap up as I really enjoyed every one of the characters. This is part of a series and while you could read this one as a standalone, I wouldn't recommend it. The main characters in this book are good friends of the main characters in books one and two and it is good to have the background of those books before diving into this one.
Camille was essentially traded off for a title and now that her husband is dead, she is determined to figure out if there is something wrong with her (spoiler alert...it wasn't her). When she decides to proposition Jacob Thorne, the co-owner of London’s infamous Montague Club, she didn't know it would come with a deal of his own. As they agree to help each other accomplish their goals, they weren't planning on falling in love.
I was so excited that Camille was finally getting her HEA and I also love that she forced her mother to see what she and her father did to her. Coming to terms with the abuse her first husband heaped on her was difficult for Camille and the struggle was clearly conveyed on the pages. I loved how gentle Jacob was with her too knowing what she went through was tough on him too but he was always there for her no matter what.
As I mentioned, you should go read this series if you haven't yet. I'll continue to read books by Harper St. George as she continues to publish them.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
