One Night with the Duke by Jodi Ellen Malpas
4.0
Eliza Melrose is an independent woman who tries to fulfill her dreams in a society where women are not taken into account in business. She is a dreamer, adventurous, curious, protect her family, pursues the truth, and stands up for what's right. She just wants to travel the world and tell his experiences through his father's newspaper. What is not allowed to her for being a woman, although she manages to satisfy that need to write, even if others take the credit. In their plans is not the commitment of a wedding. But being introduced to high society due to her family's new economic and social status, she is forced to become engaged to the son of her father's partner. Eliza doesn't believe in arranged marriages. She wants to marry a man she is in love with. So she will try at all costs to get out of that commitment.
Johnny Winters does not have a good reputation. A halo of mystery surrounds this duke, which intensifies when he arrived at Belmore Square. His strange appearance only raises more rumors about what happened in the past with the Winters family. But in his return, there is a hidden purpose. When Eliza crosses her path, sparks and butterflies flutter in her wake. Eliza is dazzled by the duke's beauty. And she can't help but evade the curiosity that arouses in her, despite knowing his bad reputation as a libertine.
I really liked Eliza. She is a strong character. I didn't have that same perception of Johnny. Maybe it was because the novel is written in first person. However, I enjoyed it and I liked the chemistry between them. About the second character, I liked Clara, Eliza's sister. And I look forward to reading more about her in this series.
A Night with the Duke is a light read, with the drama that can unfold in a society where reputation and appearances are paramount in high society. This is the story of the first love of a girl and the last of a duke with whom no one spent more than one night.
I received this arc in exchange of an honest review.
