The Worst Duke in London by Amalie Howard
5.0
This series just keeps getting better and better.
In The Worst Duke in London, book 3 of the Taming of the Dukes series, Amalie Howard gifts us the 10 Things I Hate About You / Taming of the Shrew retelling we never knew we needed.
You know this setup: the sister that has no interest in relationships or marriage, whose younger sister is desperate to (date) have her season but is only allowed to go to town if her older sister does, meets the love interest, who is coerced—for lack of a better term—into charming her by the ne’er-do-well who is interested in the younger sister.
To accurately encapsulate my adoration for this book, I’m going to share a list of assorted thoughts I had while reading this one:
- You’ve gotta love a crotch-grab meet-cute complete with kittens!
- Ooh, a sinkhole / mud pit rescue with “[l]usty mud” 👀
- Forearms!!!
- BANTER
- Lots of eye narrowing
- She’s a danger to his coats
- [REDACTED]!!!
- I sure do adore the Hellfire Kitties!
- These inner commentaries truly are fantastic.
- Leannan *clasps hands* "Oh, my heart"
- There’s just something about a pugilist, Highlander duke.
- Yes! A let’s-do-this-without-feelings scenario—we all know how this ends.
- An unconventional party 👀
- I do so love carriage shenanigans 🔥
- “‘Good girl.’” Yesssss
- Lots of caber talk
- Giggles and guffaws
- The kilt 🔥
Just read it. I know you’ll love it.
I received an advance copy of the book from Forever. All review opinions are my own.
