Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday

4.0

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy! Oh my word, this book was adorable. I was expecting Hallmark Christmas movie level of cringe, but this was so smart and funny and sexy. This was a very slow burn friends to lovers, and I LOVED watching Dani's and Max's friendship blossom. You could tell that they genuinely cared for each other outside of something romantic. Both were also very well written and given so much depth. I was going to wait and read this during the holidays, but I thought what better time than now. And boy am I glad I did. This is my first novel by Jenny Holiday, and now I'm interested in her other ones. This is definitely going to be a buy for me when it comes out.
