Her Best Friend, the Duke by Laura Martin
3.0
The friends to lovers trope is second only to marriage of convenience stories for this reader, so naturally I just had to try the latest book from Laura Martin and Harlequin books. This book was the first time I've read from Harlequin in quite a while, but the quarantine has me reading absolutely everything fluffy and light-hearted that I can get my hands on. Since Harlequins are what Hallmark movies are to the TV world, I knew it would hit the spot.
Her Best Friend, the Duke was everything I had hoped for. The chemistry between Caroline and James was so sweet and completely believable. With some romances the relationships can seem a little forced, but this was just lovely. I'm a sucker for a cute animal too and I liked that Caroline's pupper played a key role in bringing Cara and James' love for each other to the forefront. That said, the book was a little anachronistic in places, but it wasn't extremely distracting. I enjoyed this short but sizzling romance and will be looking for more books from this author.
Recommended for a quarantine read! Word of warning: this is a general market book, so it's a little hotter than what I usually review on this blog.
