A review by bookishnerdyandcurious
My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid

4.0

Oh my. This book. Y'all, I experienced all the emotions with this one. This is one where I had to change my initial rating - initially, I wanted to give it 4.5 stars, but I have not been able to get this book out of my head since finishing it last week. That's the sure sign of a 5 star book to me. I listened to the audiobook and highly recommend listening to it; the narrator was fabulous - and honestly, hearing her say the word "cock" delighted me and was only eclipsed by hearing her say "cockstand." It's not like it was funny, but like she relished saying it and that brought me lots of joy. Our tortured hero is simply the perfect kind of tortured - the kind where you just want to lavish all the attentions on him. I really am a sucker for a damaged hero, literally. And our heroine's bravery and pluck to do what she needed to for her sisters - that unending well of love and devotion... and when it's turned on our hero? DAYUM. So.
