One Season with the Duke by Addy Du Lac
5.0
This childhood friends to lovers with a marriage of convenience set in Regency was a great read!!
Hattie and Finn were childhood friends but haven't seen each other in several years. But Finn comes to London just as Hattie is being blackmailed into an engagement. Determined to help his friend, Finn offers to marry Hattie. Hattie is conflicted at first, but then accepts Finn's offer. As the two build a new life in Scotland, they'll have to navigate new challenges as husband and wife.
I adored these two characters and really love how their love story unfolded. There were some great twists and turns in their story that kept the conflict alive. And that third act break-up was a dozy! But it felt grounded and real for what their issues were, and was heart-breaking for the reader. It's probably one of the best break-ups that I've read in romance. I also loved their path back to one another.
I also really love the representation in this one. I've been reading more diversity in historical romances, which I love and I hope to see more in the future!
I can't wait to read Addy's next book!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Entangled for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.
