What a Difference a Duke Makes by Lenora Bell

3.0

"Butterflies in one's belly sounded like a pleasant sensation-all silky, fluttery wings-but in truth it was nearly a sick feeling. She longed to see him and dreaded it at the same time."

A bodice-ripping romance mashed up with Jane Eyre AND Mary Poppins???? Yes, please! This is just the cheesy distraction I needed in this crazy world. This book was silly, yes, but also charming and well drawn, with a corker of a female lead, two adorable children, a misunderstood Duke, instant lust, and fun secondary characters. I enjoyed the nods to Jane Eyre and Mary Poppins, little Easter eggs dropped throughout.

There is some steam here but it's of the roll my eyes and giggle variety. I did appreciate the Duke using the pull out method. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
