His Grace, The Duke by Emily Rath
emotional
funny
slow-paced
3.0
Some hot scenes but the last 1/3 grew tiresome.
I took this as fantasy. Not realistic of how someone could get away with a MMMF arrangement in this period. Brushed over the potential SDIs, pregnancy, discomforts, etc - I let the fantasy be.
Rose is a rather good narrator of this kind of book, for the dialogue and erotic moments.
Dan Calley wasn’t good enough. Not enough sensuality. And the accents were jarring for this historical setting.
The writing was hit and miss. So much sex that it got ludicrous. I was impressed the FMC had a mixed history of sex (by choice and not so).
The historical setting wasn’t realistic - the cover and descriptions initially implied regency England in late 1790s or early 1800s but the later references to the americas and the fashion descriptions imply 1760-1780s. And yet the evening black and white fashion of men’s evening dress wasn’t in tune with history.
