Review by laurasalwaysreading - The Spinster and the Rake

5.0

This book will kill your reading slump. Right from the start, Devon sucks you in to the story of Georgiana Bly and Edward, Duke of Thornfield. The second these two are on the page together, when Georgiana mistakes Edward for a servant and refuses to leave his private library, the story flows in such a delicious way that you don't want to put the book down. She calls Edward's bluff of his threat to kiss her to scare her away and the two are caught into an unwanted marriage on both sides. What's particularly great about this book is both characters are so likable. Georgiana is smart and witty and unafraid to say what's on her mind...even to a Duke. Edward is that grumpy hero with a soft center that is truly a good person deep down, despite what he may think of himself. I loved that Devon wrote Edward to be on the spectrum and how he handles the challenges that brings. I love that Georgiana is put in an unwanted to very difficult position as she is not someone of rank before her marriage to Edward and still puts on her big girl panties and deals with it in the best way she knows how. The writing is great and this book was just fun. I'm looking forward to more in this series. 4.5 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled for an ARC of this book. The opinions here are my own.
