How Not to Hate a Duke by Jennifer Haymore digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Haymore comes an engaging and playful enemies-to-lovers romance about what happens when a high-minded heiress clashes with the dastardly duke next door…

Georgiana Milford may be a wealthy heiress without title, but even she has her limits. It’s vexing enough to be courted by every fortune-hunting noble during the Season—goodness, you’d think she was hiding a gold mine beneath her skirts! But this is not to be condoned. Because during a merry two-week party at a lord’s country home, she’s forced to endure her father’s greatest enemy and the most wretched duke in all of England: the Duke of Despots.

Theo St. Clair has hardly been the Seventh Duke of Desborough long enough to straighten his cravat, yet the ton are already nipping at his bootstraps. Starting with the Milford family, who are convinced he’s exactly like his blaggard of a father. Unfortunately, nothing tempts the scoundrel in him more than the prospect of kissing the prim-and-proper-ness right off Georgiana Milford’s lovely lips...

Now they’re trapped together, forced to wear polite smiles while they trade acidic barbs and pretend to ignore the growing tension charging the air between them. But while there is danger in ruin, it’s the devastating secret her family has been hiding that will shatter Georgiana’s world…

“Loved this fun enemies to lovers historical romance! It was cute, and the banter was perfect. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt rushed in parts. Theo was a fantastic MMC, and I adored Georgiana. The romance was sweet with just the right amount of angst and tension. I also always enjoy a house party romance. All that sneaking around is delicious. This book was great, and it seemed like the sister would be the focus of a future book. I can't wait for what looks to be a wonderful second chance romance! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.”
