One Duke Down by Anna Bennett
4.0
One Duke Down is book two in the Rogues to Lovers series by Anna Bennett. If you haven't read book one, I recommend picking it up but I also don't think you miss a ton if you want to read it as a standalone. You just might not get some of the references to things that may have occurred prior to this book.
In this book, Poppy and Keane are our main characters. For context, Poppy is the daughter of a fisherman and Keane is a Duke. When Keane washes up on the beach that Poppy fishes from, she gives him a place to stay and works with him to try to sort out who tried to kill him. At first Poppy is a bit standoffish. She hasn't had great experiences with the nobility but Keane eventually wins her over and they are definitely more than friends. With that said, Poppy is convinced she can't have anything more with Keane while he is doing whatever he can to win her over and understand he will do anything to have her in his life long-term. He just needs to figure out who wants him dead first.
I loved how Poppy and Keane's relationship developed and the storyline allowed them to engage with each other without the societal restrictions which made things a bit easier...if you count hiding out on the beach easier. As the story moves forward, Poppy needs to make some decisions as Keane has already made his.
If you're looking for a new historical romance, I recommend picking this book up. There are interesting characters and a page turning story that will keep you engaged.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
