#Review: NEVER A DUKE by Grace Burrowes

 


  4 of 5 stars

Ned Wentworth will always be grateful being plucked from prison and given a job at the Wentworth bank by the Duke of Walden. He's loyal and works hard for the family, but he hasn't found a lady who captures his heart, that is, until Lady Rosalind Kinwood asks for his help in locating her missing maids. The more time Ned spends in the lady's company, the more he enjoys it. Rosalind has been bullied by her family and the ton over the years and she tries hard not to let them upset her. When she asks Ned for help, she has no idea he's exactly what she needs.

I loved Ned. He was so honorable, kind and compassionate and enjoyed spending time with Lady Rosalind. He's the first man that has actually listened to her and she plans more outings with him much to the disapproval of her family. There's a nefarious plot afoot kidnapping young women off the streets of London and Rosalind knows Ned will not stop until he finds them. The pace of the book moves along nicely with the slow burn romance and the mystery of who the villain is. There's a great twist at the end when the villain is finally revealed. Through a lot of bumps along the way, Ned and Rosalind finally find their HEA much to the delight of the Wentworth family. It might be helpful to read the previous books in the series especially the first one to understand how Ned met the duke.

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