I did not like this book, which is disappointing since I absolutely loved When Beauty Tamed the Beast. I think the issue was I did not like the heroine, Olivia, at all.

This could have been a 4 star except for the ending is so bad that i had to knock that 1 star off. I think Elosia James has really lost her touch for Historical Romance.

I have been a fairytale person all of my life, so I have loved this entire series of books. “The Duke is Mine“ is superb. The characters were fun, honest, and honorable.

If you enjoy good writing and a well crafted story - read this book.
