Lisa Berne's The Worst Duke in the World is the latest in her Penhallow Dynasty series, following the illustrious Penhallow family, and it's fantastic! Jane Kent is a long-lost Penhallow relative, and arrives at Surmont Hall where she finds the family she never knew she had. She also meets Anthony Farr, Duke of Radcliffe, who might be the worst duke in the world. His primary interests are his son, his prize-winning pig, and NOT getting remarried, regardless of what his sister has to say.
The way this book is written is terribly clever and endearing; it is almost stream-of-consciousness for whichever character's point of view we are in. Through this, we are able to see just how perfect for each other Jane and Anthony are, long before they realize it themselves. Both are incredibly positive and unique individuals, and often they have the same thoughts about things, which is cute.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very low-conflict, which is so relaxing to read at times. If you are looking for a feel-good, everybody-wins romance, this is the book for you! I would definitely recommend it, and look forward to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
