Ten Rules for Marrying a Duke by Michelle McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was fun at the beginning because they had great banter as they set the rules for their arrangement. It does stay fun later on while they spend time together, as they navigate their growing feelings for one another.

Arabella Bromley has a plan to fix the problem her older sister left for them. She knows she has to restore the family's reputation and the only way she sees that happening is to marry a particular duke she has in mind.

Silas, the Duke of Whittsley isn't one to follow the rules. So when Arabella presents him with her proposal, he finds himself willing to go along with her outrageous plan: he'll save her family, she'll give him an heir.

Once he's agreed they work together to set a few goals to keep them on track. They go about setting ten goals to keep them focused. But the one thing they didn't plan on was falling in love.

Thanks so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.

Here is the official blurb:

Bookish Arabella Bromley never gave a fig for society’s rules—until her sister ran off with a man below her station. Now Arabella is desperate to restore her family’s ruined reputation to favor amongst the ton. She’ll have to marry quickly and well. But in order to carry off her plan, Arabella needs a duke… and she has just the rakish fellow in mind.

The Duke of Whittsley has an ungentlemanly tendency to disregard the rules. Unfortunately, a sense of mischief doesn’t excuse a high-ranking noble from family duty—especially where it concerns producing a son. And that’s where he can’t quite resist Arabella’s distinctly outrageous plan: if he saves her family, she’ll give him an heir.

Now the deal’s been struck. They have one year to achieve their goals and ten iron-clad rules to keep them on track. Like long, scorching kisses and ensuring they’re both exquisitely satisfied. And the only thing that could ruin their plan is the one thing they never planned on: love.
