The Duke Meets His Match by Karen Tuft
3.0
Synopsis:
The Duke of Aylesham is a rich, prideful, beautiful man, who gets put into quite a predicament by the Prince Regent himself. In an attempt to save himself from an arranged marriage that would financially benefit the Prince, Aylesham must lie and hope Susan Jennings (a spinster) will go along with his plan.
Review:
This book was a cute, quick read that brought together two unassuming and very different characters. Susan is a very strong willed, lonely woman determined to waste away by herself, while Aylesham is a man of means with a choice of whatever he wants. I enjoyed the historical aspect of this book, and how they brought in Prince George’s lofty and quite selfish behavior. I would have enjoyed getting to know Aylesham's past a little more with how he saved the country, but it was a fun addition to the book of why he had gained favor with the prince regent.
If you enjoy the historical side of historical fiction, this book is a very good take on what you may have experienced as a Duke back in the Regency Period.
