Bookseller and undercover romance writer Caro Danvers is in for more than she bargains for when it comes to Dorian Whitaker - the handsome Duke who, unbeknownst to him, reads and loves her novels.
Having had and lost his love match, like any good Duke, widowed Dorian is seeking a practical match this time. His estate needs an heir. Enter the very impractical and vivacious Caroline Danvers, whose frankness and beauty catch his star-of-this-novel blue eyes.
The title is, perhaps, a bit misleading as our bookseller is the true star. This is a story of a mystery solved, a hurt processed, and ultimately, one of self acceptance.
These two characters had very real barriers to a happily ever after - it’s the kind of conflict that got me immediately invested and kept me engaged.
I adore books that tell the stories of people who write books - especially in the regency era where a women’s work in this space was something to hide.
For this reason, fans of Bridgerton’s Penelope and Ne’er Duke Well’s Selena will love Good Duke Gone Wild.
Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for an e-ARC of this work in exchange for an honest review.
