5 of 5 stars
Lucien Le Duc has worked in the smithy for 18
years toiling away until the day he can return to France with his brother and
sister. The French Revolution has his parents killed and he vowed to protect
his siblings any way he could. That meant relocating to England, specifically
Cressmouth. The day has finally come to go back to France and reclaim his
family's land, but his siblings have made love matches in Cressmouth and will
not returning with him. While he waits for the day his ship will sail, he meets
Meg Church, the local spinster who is witty, outrageous and intriguing. When
Meg offers to tutor Lucien in English, he has no idea his life is about to
upended once again.
The witty banter that comes out of Meg's mouth is outrageous, unexpected and so very entertaining. It catches Lucien off guard and yet draws him to Meg like a moth to the flame. The last Le Duc is resisting falling in love, but sometimes what the heart wants wins out against all odds. This was another delightful story in the 12 Dukes of Christmas series. I can't wait to read the next one.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
