Review: Four Weddings And A Duke by Michelle McLean

 

As the middle—and least marriageable—sister in a bevy of swans, Lavinia Wynnburn is quite content being the odd duck out. This way, she’s free to commit social faux pas without anyone much noticing. Until the Duke of Beaubrooke turns up the morning after a ball, asking for her hand in marriage.

Alexander Reddington doesn’t particularly care for social niceties, nor is he particularly good at them. But now that the spare has become the heir, he must marry...and soon. When he stumbles into the same corner as a socially awkward wallflower, he knows he’s found the perfect wife: one who won’t bother him to attend every simpering event of the season.

Only, Alexander’s shy and pretty new wife is finding her new position surprisingly exciting and keeps accepting every invitation that flutters past their door. And worse luck, he might even be falling for her. Now he must hide the truth about why he really proposed…before his unexpectedly happy marriage is dashed to pieces.

My Review

Four Weddings and a Duke by Michelle McLean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I enjoyed this book. I read the first third of the book quickly and the story does seem to slow down a bit in the middle. But it does pick up again at the end, so be prepared. It was a little angsty there at the end too.

As the middle sister Lavinia is considered the least marriageable sister. But she doesn't mind because this means most won't notice if she commits a social faux pas. Until the Duke of Beaubrooke asks for her hand in marriage.

Alexander isn't interested in social niceties nor is he any good at them. Having recently become the heir he must marry soon. When he accidentally meets a socially awkward wallflower he knows he's found the perfect wife. Someone who won't bother him to attend every silly event of the season.

The only problem, Alex's new wife seems to be enjoying her new role, as she accepts every invitation that comes their way. And to top it all off, he might just be falling in love with his wife. But one argument in particular has them spending time apart both dealing with their emotions.

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