A review by kursed_reads
Dukes of Peril by Angel Lawson, Samantha Rue
4.0
This installment begins immediately following the cliffy from Dukes of Madness. From there, we start the rollercoaster finale for the Fists of Forsyth.
Finally!! We get our questions answered. Not only that, we experience tremendous character growth and a strong redemption arc. And some seriously satisfying smexy times.
While Pretty Nick remains true to himself as incredibly over-the-top jealous and possessive, he is navigating it without being selfish and hurtful. He’s learned what Lavinia needs and how to temper that with Sy and Remy’s needs as well making him pretty dang swoony.
Sy. Ermergerd. The edging was painful, but so worth it. Watching him grow from the angry virgin into a thoughtful and passionate lover was the highlight of the trilogy for me.
Of course the angst and absolution for Remy was an emotional element in this book. I understood his motivation and could even empathize, but I was incredibly angry with him for being so immature. I’m not generally forgiving where cheating is concerned, and the grovel could have been (much) better, but he still ultimately won me over.
Lavinia has been strong throughout and I was glad that she never wavered in that regard. That she got closure related to Leticia AND vengeance against her father were icing on the cake.
Not my favorite of the series, but a solid read. The setup for the princes’ trilogy? Chef’s
