The Duke Gets Desperate by Diana Quincy

raethereviewer's review against another edition

4.5

This was so much fun! The tension was done really well and I enjoyed seeing the romance between these two blossom. It was great having a strong-willed female lead and a man who isn’t afraid of that. The banter was so good!

I love the way Diana Quincy writes a woman with a sturdy vocation. This book was so much fun to read, and there’s a mystery bubbling beneath the romance that keeps things moving along til the end. The sequel bait laid out really ensnared me and I can’t wait for what’s next in this series.

This genre isnt really my cup of tea. I only picked up the book because my sister begged me too. Was it horrible, no, but it did feel rushed at some parts of the story. The love story felt more like lust and rushed.

Honestly I was really interested in the FMC’s storyline but I hated the MMC and had zero interest in the actual romance. As much as I was curious about her side, I didn’t want to listen to five more hours of this audiobook to find out. It’s too bad, this could’ve really been my jam.

This was over before I knew it. I did like it but really I'm not a hate-love girly, even though at the end we got the love love ofc but nevertheless. 
Strickland -ridiculous name - was also such a ridiculous man? I mean i get him, his situation was truly 🙂🔫 But at the beginning the imagine in my mind was just a bull with steam coming from its nostrils, the way he kept 'barking'. But at the same time he was easy going? It's an odd mix, idk how it worked. Raya and him really, egging each other in 24/7. Even though the miscommunications, plural, we're all resolved quick enough there was so much of it. Actually I didn't mind it, but

he really acted like he didnt know her at all when he didn't tell her about the amendment or whatever.

Didn't care for the sex, normally I skip it and I think I'll stick to that 

Idk it was fun, this really got me wanting more historical romance

We love a WOC lead who’s headstrong and entrepreneurial. The spicy scenes varied and revealed just enough for the imagination. Plus, the plot kept the the reader on their toes. Recommended reading for the romantics.
