The Truth about Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke
4.0
After his mother is given scandalous advice from one Lady Truelove, the Duke of Torquil decides he must find out who the advice columnist is and make the offending writer fix her error.
To Torquil's dismay, Lady Truelove is the utterly beguiling and entirely, unsuitably modern Miss Irene Deverill. A Suffragist! The horror!
Firmly believing in her advice to Torquil's mother, Irene refuses to stop publishing the gossip and her advice column in the newspaper she took over from her drunk father. Unfortunately, her father still owns the paper and in exchange for the Duke's assistance in presenting Irene and her sister to society, he has agreed to sell the paper to Torquil!
Torquil gives Irene an ultimate, stop his mother's upcoming nuptials to the younger, poor Italian artist she eloped with based on Lady Truelove's advice, or lose her paper.
Irene, torn between her morals and her ambitions, agrees but instead hopes to change the Duke's mind.
Two stubborn hearts, a Duke steeped in tradition and wary of love, and a woman intent on changing history, this is a classic enemies to lovers tale sure to melt the iciest of hearts.
I adored Irene's shirtwaists and ties, her convictions, and her willingness to explore an affair with the Duke with no marriage in mind. She doesn't want to be a Duchess, but she wants him. Torquil was an icy Duke of an imperious nature, with a soft, sexy heart he forgot he even had. I loved seeing Irene melt him down.
I also enjoyed all the sexy consent. There is a great love scene that showcases Torquil's willingness to stop, no matter what, if that is what Irene wants. More of this please!
I will definitely be reading the next books in this series. I'm glad I tried another Guhrke, as I didn't really enjoy my first.
