Mar. 5th, 2025 08:01 pmMy Inconvenient Duke
by Loretta Chase
This historical romance is the third in Chase's Difficult Dukes series, and elegantly serves as both prequel and finale. It tells the story of Lady Alice Ancaster and Lord Giles Blackwood. They've known each other since they were both daring and somewhat unruly children. As daring and somewhat unconventional adults, they end up very much attracted to each other. When Alice's wayward brother goes missing, she and Giles find themselves working together to locate him. This leads them into a marriage of convenience that allows their love to blossom, but making their marriage work is a challenge.
I really enjoyed this romance. Alice and Giles are both very smart, very passionate, and very good for each other. Their banter is terrific. I also liked how their marriage crisis wasn't really a third act breakup, but more of them grappling with circumstances that keep driving wedges between them, and they were able to resolve things without unnecessary angst. PLus, they keep getting into various adventures throughout the novel, all of which are terrifically fun and romantic.
