Ad – review. I was sent a copy of this book for review purposes and all thoughts are my own.
Today I am involved in the book tour for Ne’er Duke Well by Alexander Vasti. Alexandra Vasti loves coffee, beignets, and books, in no particular order. She is the author of the Halifax Hellions series. In between writing swoony Regency romances with hijinks and heart, she teaches British and Caribbean literature in New Orleans.
About the book
STRATAGEM FOR THE RESTORATION OF RESPECTABILITY TO THE DUKE OF STANHOPE:
Step 1: Find perfect wife
Step 2: Save reputation from ruin
Step 3: Do not, at any cost, fall in love with Selina Ravenscrof
Peter Kent, newly inherited Duke of Stanhope, has developed quite the scandalous reputation - which must be overturned if he is to win the guardianship of his young half siblings. For help he turns to Lady Selina Ravenscrof, society's most proper debutante (save one tiny secret...). She suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable character - which due to the aforementioned secret is definitely not Selina herself.
But her matchmaking goes awry when the scorching chemistry between them proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love might just be the ultimate scandal...
Ne're Duke Well is a steamy regency romance, featuring a feminist touch and scandal. If you are a fan of Bridgerton than you will absolutely love this story. Although a romance novel Ne're Duke Well has lots going on with a mix of loveable characters. I loved how the heroine Selina gets on so well with Peter's siblings and her strong character who is both charming and intelligent. I adored her passion to educate and uplift women by secretly running her own business. I absolutely loved this read and will be looking out more from this author.
