3 of 5 starsI usually adore Ms. MacGregor's books, but this one was not one of my
favorites. Not sure if having the dead husband married to multiple woman
is a new trope, but this is the same story line as Jess Michael's
latest series. Multiple wives, one is a virgin even after marriage and
throw in a duke into the mix as a new suitor is almost identical to the
other series. Also, "A Duke in Time" seemed a bit modern to me and I
would have preferred more of a Regency style to the story line.
Good
things about the book is Katherine. She is a strong, hard-working woman
who has built a successful business and hires only women especially
women with few other options. Also Katherine's caring for the other
wives speaks well to her character. Christian is the perfect hero--a
celebrated war hero who wants to help returning soldiers find worthwhile
work. While one of Katherine's problems was resolved, the main mystery
of where all the dowry money from all 3 women went was not really
resolved. Was all the outrageous possessions of the dead husband meant
to resolve this issue? Not sure it does.
While I always look forward to new releases from this author, I have no interest in continuing this series.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
