#Review: BEGUILING THE DUKE by Darcy Burke

 


3 of 5 stars

This was a quick regency read that I was able to finish in one sitting. I liked that Sadie was a strong young woman, although her family constantly took advantage of her with their demands for her help. When a duke lands on her doorstep because of a carriage accident, Sadie feels it just means more chores for her. I found it a little odd that the author chose to describe Law as 'tall and white.' That shouldn't have made difference to the story. I really didn't feel the chemistry between the duke and Sadie, and the fact that her father and brothers kept pushing her toward the duke was so annoying. No one in her family ever bothered to ask what Sadie needed or wanted, especially her father, who was the worst one for taking advantage of Sadie by refusing to hire more staff. 

There are a couple of graphic sexual scenes so readers beware of that, especially if you'd prefer no sex scenes. While I enjoy Ms. Burke's books, this one fell a little flat for me, but I'll still read more in the series.

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