3.5
“I have been reading Sarah Mallory for years and her books are always magnificent. I have read both her Scottish and regency books and it is no wonder she wins so many awards. Her books are absolutely perfect.
This book starts off a she hearing people talk negatively about her on the lines of being not fun at all and rather boring. Not the ways anyone wants to hear about themselves! So after this horrific season Pru decides to stay with her Aunt. Except one mornignshe finds a handsome uninvited Duke at her breakfast table in the kitchen which is more than a wee bit unusual! Pru soon realized they have quite the understanding but it is the three months later that is mind blowing!
Pru tries to help save the Duke's abd repuation but falls in love in the process. Especially when she had accepted her life as a spinster. What shall she do? What will the Duke do? Read and discover thoer fate!
A fun ROM that any lover of romance will enjoy. I absoluely loved Pru she was a character I absolutely loved!
I have been reading Sarah Mallory for years and her books are always magnificent. I have read both her Scottish and regency books and it is no wonder she wins so many awards. Her books are absolutely perfect. Definitely a novel a romance readers do not want to miss! A book I highly recommend!
I recieved this arc from Harlequin and Netgalley”
“Sarah Mallory's The Night She Met the Duke is a decent enough romance overrun by exclamation points. Multiple exclamation points per page, even per paragraph. So many, they distracted me from the story, interfering with my reading cadence.
Once one gets past the exclamation points (provided one can! See what I did there?), the story is, as I said, decent enough. Pru is acting as companion to a much loved aunt in Bath when Garrick, Duke of Hartland, stumbles drunkenly into her aunt's kitchen late one night. He shares secrets and she provides advice, and both feel they have made a connection, even as Garrick goes off to propose to the woman his family, and hers, have long expected him to wed.
Months later, Pru's aunt has been invited to the London season and Pru has accompanied her, and Pru and Garrick meet again. Garrick has a terrible reputation having almost killed a man in a duel and then crying off the engagement he left Pru to make (or so the gossips say). Pru, however, believes in him and acts as his defender even when he doesn't want her to do so. The duo fall for each other, leading to him proposing out of love without telling her he is in love, which in turn leads her to say no as she believes he asks only out of duty. The typical regency dance. Throw in a mean spirited ex-lover and her wicked husband, and the book proceeds from there.
3 stars. It might have been higher but for the exclamation points. Thank you to Harlequin and to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.”
