#Review: THE HEIRESS GETS A DUKE by Harper St. George

 

4 of 5 stars

Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, inherited a bankrupt dukedom from his spendthrift father. When he finally realizes he has no choice to save the title except to marry an heiress, he's not keen on the idea until he meets heiress August Crenshaw. August has come to London with her parents and sister to experience a Season and she has no idea her parents have agreed to marry her off to Rothschild. August rejects Rothschild's proposal fearing that her hard won independence will be taken away from her. Can Rothschild convince her that he wants her and not her money?

This is the first book I've read by Harper St. George and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Miss St. George teases out details throughout the book about both August and Evan and it kept me turning the pages until the end. I loved that August was a strong independent woman and it was Rothschild who had to do the groveling in this relationship. Evan was a very likeable hero who finally realized that money doesn't solve all his problems. I'm looking forward to the next story in this series.

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