#Review: NEVER DENY A DUKE by Madeline Hunter


  4 of 5 stars
 
Eric Marshall, the Duke of Brentworth, has definitely met his match when fiery Scottish Davina MacCallum presses her claim that his Scottish estate Teyhill actually belongs to her family. She will not be dissuaded and pursues every clue and proof that she can find. Brentworth is a very private man and the last thing he wants is for this problem to become public. Much to his annoyance, the feud becomes public and he agrees to help Davina find proof is there is any to be found to prove her claim. What Brentworth doesn't anticipate is how attracted he is to Davina the more he gets to know her. Her intelligence, medical knowledge and kindness draws him closer and he is reluctant to step away from her.

I loved Davina! She is a strong opinionated Scottish lass who believes in fighting for her family's legacy. Her blunt matter of fact attitude marks her as odd for a young woman of her time, but I enjoyed the conversations between her and Eric. Her influence eventually wears down the mask that Brentworth presents to the ton and he soon he welcomes her presence. Ms. Hunter seamlessly weaves fact with fiction and I enjoyed reading about a different Scottish story than is the usual plots about Scotland. This 3rd book in the series is my favorite. I look forward to reading more books by Ms. Hunter.

I voluntarily read this book and all opinions are my own.
