#Review: THE DUKE'S WICKED WIFE by Elizabeth Bright


  
Sebastian Sinclair, the Duke of Wessex uses wit and jest to avoid feeling, any feeling especially pesky love. Loving just leads to pain and grief and he refuses to go through that again. His greatest adversary is the witty and beautiful Eliza Benton. The two of them banter back and forth. They're friends, that's all, just friends. Eliza finds Wessex infuriating at best, but when she attends a house party to choose his bride, she finds something totally surprising. She more than enjoys his company and doesn't want anyone else to occupy his time. Could these two avoid a disastrous outcome like falling in love?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially Wessex's jesting and bantering with everyone, but especially with Eliza. He is much deeper than anyone realizes although Eliza is beginning to see through his fun facade and forces him to confront that pesky thing called feelings as she begins to confront her own feelings about him. Ms. Bright does a great job of teases out the details of what Wessex and Eliza really want out of life and I was eagerly turning the pages to see how it all ends. Definitely a fun and enjoyable read.

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
