#Review: SOMEDAY MY DUKE WILL COME by Christina Britton

 

5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one I absolutely loved. Mr. Quincy Nesbitt ran away from a cruel mother when he was only 14 years old to make his own way into the world. When he finally returns years later, he learns his three older brothers have all died and he is now the Duke of Reigate, a title he never wanted. To get away from his mother's scheming to make Quincy marry his dead brother's fiance, he and Lady Clara Ashford agree to a fake betrothal. Lady Clara suffered terribly in her youth at the hands of a rogue and she has vowed to never marry because of that experience. Unfortunately, the more time she spends in Quincy's company, the more she wishes their betrothal was real. Can they both let go of their painful pasts and find the love of their lives?

Quincy was the perfect hero and I loved him. He was so kind and good and who couldn't help but fall in love with him. He was so patient with Clara, but the more he got to know her, the more he loved her. He just had to convince her they could share a life together. Ms. Britton does a good job of teasing out Clara's youthful heartbreak--it was so touching when she finally revealed what had happened to her when she was fifteen. I adore this series and can't wait to read the next book.

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