A review by hollsyy
Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase

3.0

This novel immediately hooked me in and had me up to 3am on a night that I definitely shouldn't have been up that late. The banter is at another level that I have yet to see and I loved the set up of their second chance meeting! However, soon enough I lost all my steam and love for them as it began to drag. I felt this way upon the start of a certain "trial" which I didn't enjoy at all. It felt nonsensical and not in a fun way. I powered through till after the marriage and then just kind of skimmed the rest honestly. It definitely felt like too much book and the ended didn't need to happen the way that it did. I'm kind of sad because when I started this, the first 100 pages had me convinced I was reading a top 5 contender for my favs in historical romance and it ended up being a snooze 💤
