A review by hookedbythatbook
The Worst Duke in London by Amalie Howard

3.0

The cheeky heroine seduces the inexperienced hero who is hiding his own secrets. 

Lord Huntington’s request that Gage keep Effie occupied started out innocuous enough, until his true nature was revealed. He was truly icky. Viola didn’t present as very endearing herself and I was mostly annoyed by her. 

Effie and Gage were very likable characters. They were nothing like you’d expect from their positions in society and clearly they surprised each other as well. I enjoyed their banter and interactions, but they didn’t stir any overwhelming sweeping feelings. 

The overall tone and dialogue were more what you’d expect from modern times, but it didn’t bother me. This book was interesting enough, and would work well for lovers of light-hearted, steamy historical romance. 

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
