A lovely story of love, patience, and acceptance. The way the author paced the relationship between Kitty and Alexander made it impossible to put it down because you’re always wondering what’s coming next. The banter between them is fun to read; Kitty’s patience and loyalty toward Alexander and his acceptance of her unique spirit makes it impossible not to fall in love with their story. A unique book which is why I’m not sure why some reviewers are calling it an updated Beauty and the Beast story. Looking forward to reading more of this author who makes sure to character develop, pacing is great, and you’re getting a full meal instead of a skeleton of a story.

Darling book. Definitely a book unlike any other. Full of mystery, intrigue, comedy, laughter and romance. Never read a story like this one.

Wonderful. Wonderful!

Breathtaking novel. There are books that grab your heart and squeeze - this was one of those books. Kitty and Alexander’s relationship was uniquely beautiful. It was one of great strength and relentless perseverance. I’ve read many, many historical romance novels over the years, and this one has become one of my favorites. I absolutely loved it.

My Darling Duke. I loved this book it had a good story; it was funny; a little mystery; and steamy love I hope the other characters have a story especially the Dukes little sister- love the characters

read it. What a wonderful book can’t get enough beautifully written

My Darling Duke. This was a very good book.

Bold and Daring. Unexpected plot with entertaining dialogue and characters challenging each other! I especially love that Kitty took the initiative to make her duke take notice of her!

My darling duke. Great read. Looking forward to the next book.

The little minx!. A bold and determined heroine. A reclusive and enigmatic Duke. A daring lie. A negotiated friendship. What could possibly go wrong? Wonderful characters, a unique plot, and an intriguing relationship. Enjoyed every minute!

My Darling Duke. A fun, easy, well-written read

Fantastic. Spell binding from beginning to end. Well written and I really enjoyed the hero and heroine. Who would have thought a fake betrothal to a reclusive Duke that no one has seen in the last 10 years would end in happily ever after. Well worth the price. This is a book I would enjoy reading over and over again.

My Darling Duke. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was an updated version of Beauty and the Beast. The Beast is the Duke of Thornton, Alexander Masters. Ten years prior, a twenty year old Alexander saved himself and his seven year old sister from a fire that raged in their home in Scotland that killed their parents. He sustained life-threatening injuries. He hasn't been seen in London for seven years, preferring to remain in Scotland away from the ton. Miss Katherine Danvers, but goes by Kitty, is the Beauty. She is a wallflower. Kitty along with her closest friends, who are also wallflowers, decide to do something wickedly fun. She concocts a tale to weave that she is engaged to the Duke to help promote her younger sister(s) to make better matches as they are near-penniless since their father a Viscount has passed away several years ago. The tale is a charming one. It is full of wit and angst. I felt for both characters. I was extremely glad to see the story written in a dual POV format. Getting into Alexander's thoughts and see the fear and pain that he suffers really helped me to understand some of his actions much better. For the most part, this is a clean read but there are a few parts that near the end that should really only be read be someone over the age of 18.

My Darling Duke. Great read,beauty and her beast.

My Darling Duke. Delightful! Endearing poetic endearments as the Sassy Beauty & Proud Beast spare in their mating dance as old as time.

So heartfelt. He made me cry 😢 love the depth of feelings the story betrayed, made me feel it

Loved it!. Alexander Masters, Duke of Thornton, has never met Miss Kitty Danvers, but according to the papers, he and she are betrothed. Kitty doesn’t know Alexander, but she knows that he was badly injured a decade ago and has become a recluse. Desperate to help her family by giving her sisters a chance for advantageous marriages, Kitty pretends to be engaged to the reclusive Duke. Once her plan succeeds, she will “break” their engagement. It should work. After all they will never meet. Think again. Curious about Kitty and her motives, Alexander makes a rare trip to London. Their meeting is the beginning of an intensely emotional story. Anyone who likes Beauty and the Beast stories will love this one. The story is sad and sweet, sexy, and fun. A tale full of uncertainty and hope, all wrapped up in love and romance. An awesome cast of characters work to encourage and support Alexander and Kitty. Even though these two are obviously deeply in love, there seems to remain one hurdle. Alexander feels that it is unfair to tie Kitty to a man whose injuries have left him unable to make love to her or to give her children (no small hurdle). Kitty is nothing if not resourceful, and you will love the advice she gets (and takes) on how to turn this situation around and create a happily ever after. I thoroughly enjoyed My Darling Duke and highly recommend it. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Made me cry. It did made me cry when the Duke was talking to his cousin Eugene. Love the bantering between Kitty and Duke as well the approval of the household. However I wish the revealing of she’s having his baby was included. Overall I’ll continue to read the rest of the series.
