Review - The Duke Goes Down by Sophie Jordan

 

I finally finished Sophie Jordan’s The Duke Goes Down! I started this one a while ago, but then I had a bunch of library holds come in so I stuck it on the back burner, but it’s seriously so good!

Perry Butler was the Duke of Penning until it was discovered that he wasn’t actually legitimate. Now he’s living with his mother and trying to find an heiress to marry in Shropshire, which would be significantly easier if it weren’t for the salacious rumors circling about him. Imogen Bates is the vicar’s daughter, and can’t forget how cruel Perry has been all her life. The ladies of her father’s flock deserve better than to be married solely for their money.

This is a delicious slow-burn, enemies to lovers book. Sophie Jordan does such a fantastic job of telling a story expertly, layering emotions and exposition and action seamlessly. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Review - The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

 

So I know I’m a couple weeks behind on gushing about The Ex Hex, but I seriously loved it so much!

If you haven’t read it, Vivi is a witch living in a small witchy town in Georgia. Rhys is a Welsh witch whose ancestor founded the town, and nine years after he and Vivi spent a whirlwind summer together, he’s back to recharge the ley lines. Problem is, Vivi and accidentally put a curse on him in a vodka and heartbreak-fueled mishap, and now the whole town has gone haywire.

There were so many things that I loved about this book! It’s a second-chance romance, but the catalyst for the initial breakup isn’t really anything too unforgivable, in my opinion. She shows how after nine years, they have neither one ever forgotten the other, and the the chemistry is off the charts. It’s also very spooky; there were times I was a little nervous!

Overall I’d definitely recommend!!

Review - The Devil's Own Duke by Lenora Bell

Devil’s Own Duke is the latest in Lenora Bell’s Wallflowers vs Rogues series, and is so much fun! Hetty is the only child of a duke, and when a man turns up claiming to be the long-lost heir her father insists they marry. Ash Ellis is a gaming hell owner and scoundrel who wants to turn Hetty’s beloved vineyards into stables, and the two have absolutely nothing in common. Except for intoxicating attraction, of course.

I loved the repartee between the main characters, although the “falling” did seem a little fast. The inclusion of their very opposite cars was fun, as was the ‘mystery’ woven in to the plot. Overall I very much enjoyed this book, and can’t wait to read the next in the series!
