Fans of Bridgerton, this one’s for you.
Spice Level: Season 1 (which is to say, VERY spicy).
I love a regency romance and Ne’er Duke Well was fantastic - a standout romance read for me this year.
NOLA born and raised, Peter Kent inherits a dukedom. After moving to England, he discovers he has a younger brother and sister. In his quest to gain custody and increase his respectability, Lady Selina Ravonscroft attempts to find him a wife. Things don’t…go to plan.
Respectability is not Peter’s forte. Or his goal.
I dare say Peter Kent is one of my favorite regency MMCs.
Real life or fiction, it’s always the funny guy for me. The one that can make you laugh, anytime but especially when you’re worried. That’s Peter. Irreverent in many ways, but ultimately has his priorities straight. I shared in Selina’s relief multiple times throughout this story, based on Peter's reaction to a situation alone. There cheers for the “everything will be alright” guy that we can believe.
Ne'er Duke Well is out June 23. I've already pre-ordered my copy from Blue Cypress Books (which is one of my top endorsements after reading it on my Kindle!).
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book.
Vasti's second installment, Earl Crush, is in the works for Winter 2025 and I cannot wait.
