Review: The Wolf And The Wildflower by Stacy Reid

 

USA Today bestselling author Stacy Reid’s addictive tale of two lost people who are found…by each other.

London is buzzing with the news that James Winters, the Duke of Wulverton—thought lost at sea a decade ago—survived in the harsh wilderness of the Yukon. Now he’s been returned to his family, his responsibilities, and a nightmarish world of artifice and noise. He has three weeks to become a refined, elegant duke for the Queen…or doom the entire family to ruin and scandal.

Promising psychologist Jules Southby knows a lot about disguises. She’s secretly been living as a boy since birth, enjoying the freedoms of men and knowing little about how to behave like a woman. When she meets the alluring duke, she’s unprepared for his raw, masculine beauty and icy intelligence…or that he can see through her darkest secret.

Jules has very little time to transform the duke into a true semblance of an English gentleman. Yet his very presence seems to unravel her in every way. Their attraction is stark and achingly real—and forbidden. But loving the lost duke would mean losing every sacrifice she’s made to earn her freedom…

My Review

The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved this book so much and I was sad as it came to an end. What I loved the most was how different this book was from the typical historicals. They take their time getting to know each other and when they finally give in to their desires, we get some very passionate scenes.

James Winters, the Duke of Wulverton, has returned home after he was lost at sea a decade ago. He survived the wilderness of Alaska and now London is buzzing with wild rumors. His mother is worried the gossip will doubt his ability to continue as the duke.

Jules Southby has returned home after a few years away as he pursued his studies. It also helped aid in the secret life she's been living. When she was born, her mother kept her gender a secret. But the ruse went on longer than intended.

Upon their first meeting, James is able to see who Jules really is through her disguise. Both feel this unexplainable attraction to one another. But both understand that nothing can ever come from this attraction.

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