#Review: A DUKE WORTH FIGHTING FOR by Christina Britton

 

 

 

  4 of 5 stars

 

Daniel Hayle, Duke of Carlisle, never wanted to be the duke. He was a soldier and knew war not glittering ballrooms and simpering misses. He agrees to accompany his mother on a trip to the Isle of Synne where she can rest and regain her health and he can practice his social skills. He meets Margery, a war widow who still misses her beloved, but there's something about her that Daniel can't get her out of his mind. When she volunteers to help him find a bride for a price, he readily agrees. What could go wrong?

I loved Daniel. Even though he was an awkward and scarred man who was just looking for a bride, he begins to look forward to outings because Margery would be by his side. He needs no love or tender feelings involved in his potential bride. He just needs an heir so his greedy cousin doesn't inherit the dukedom. Margery was so kind and could look beyond his scars to the honorable man he was and she makes Daniel feel more like a whole man despite his scars. Theirs is a slow burn romance amidst a blackmail mystery. Ms. Britton has a couple of clever twists in the story that kept me turning the pages to the end. I thoroughly enjoy this series and look forward to the next book in the series.
