4 of 5 starsThis is the first book I've read in the series, and I might have gotten more out of it if I had read the previous books. Even so, the story was delightful on its own. I loved the opening scene in the ocean. That was different from anything else I've read in the genre. It was well done and set up the story perfectly. I adored Nellie, the headstrong, rebellious young socialite who advocates for women's empowerment even if it puts her life in danger with the law. She never backs down from a challenge, not even when she finds the handsome man from her ocean swim is none other than the boring and predictable Andrew, the Duke of Lockwood.
Lockwood was groomed from birth to be a duke and to act ducal at all times. He's tired of always being polite and just wants to break free of all his responsibilities trying to rescue his bankrupt duchy. He thinks he wants a malleable heiress whose dowry will save the duchy, that is, until he meets Nellie. Throwing caution to the wind, Lockwood sets out on a course to make the gorgeous heiress his own except Nellie has other ideas. Can these two reconcile their different paths in love and live happily ever after, or are their difference too much to overcome?
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
