Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
I don’t read historical romances as much anymore. But there were years when I read nothing else than this genre. Spunky heroines, banter between hero and heroine, and women not afraid of going head to head with a duke was what made me come back again and again.... Read More
Top 13 Book Club Books for 2020 / books that make a book discussion fun
