#Review: A DUKE BY ANY OTHER NAME by Grace Burrowes

  4 of 5 stars  Nathaniel, Duke of Rothhaven, rarely leaves his home and discourages any and all interactions with the locals. That is, until Lady Althea Wentworth sends her prize hogs into his orchard. When he storms to her home demanding she remove them, he's not prepared for the attraction he feels for the lady. Any relationship cannot be--he won't entertain it. Althea has decided to forego the London Season this year and yearns to know her reclusive neighbor, but she's not prepared for the complicated feelings she has for the arrogant duke. Can these two get past any hostilities and find their own HEA?
This was an interesting and entertaining book especially since it takes place away from the glittering ballrooms of London. Althea is tired of trying to be accepted by the ton in London. No matter what she does, there are whisperings behind her back and gossip about her not belonging. She's done trying to fit in and decides to stay put in the country. I loved Althea and her bold personality. She plunges forward into helping the poor, but just like in London, she's not accepted. Nathaniel tries his best not to interact with Althea, but with each new encounter, he finds himself smitten with her. Nathaniel is such a good and noble character, sacrificing his own happiness for his family. This book has intrigue, mystery, heartache and finally a HEA for these two and I loved every minute of their journey.
I voluntarily read this advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
