Review: One Season With The Duke by Addy Du Lac

 

Heiress Henrietta Monfort would never do anything to hurt her beloved aunt and uncle. But thanks to her cousin—who’s discovered a secret about her parentage that even she didn’t know—she is moments away from ruin…unless she marries him. Hettie has no choice. She must accept the villainous snake’s hand in marriage. So be it. But no man will ever own her heart, body, or soul.

Lord Findley has always had a soft spot for Hettie. Discovering that she’s being blackmailed into marriage is nothing short of appallingly outrageous. How could he allow someone unworthy to marry the gentle-hearted and bright-eyed Hettie—let alone a blaggard of the lowest order? To hell with it. He’ll marry her himself…even if it is the scandal of the season.

Now they’re racing for Scotland, praying they can outrun the jilted crook who seeks Hettie’s hand and her fortune. But ahead of them lies their greatest obstacle yet…and one unexpected—and damnably inconvenient—attraction that will turn both their worlds upside down.

My Review

One Season with the Duke by Addy Du Lac
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

It took me a minute to get into the story. But I really liked Finn and Hettie. I think the blurb left me with the impression that we'd spend a little more time dealing with the blackmail part before they actually marry. It seemed like things were wrapped up too quickly but hold on because her cousin is not done antagonizing her.

Heiress Henrietta Monfort would never do anything to hurt her beloved aunt and uncle. But her cousin is forcing her to marry him, he claims to have information about her parent's marriage that could ruin her marriage prospects. Feeling she has no other choice, she agrees to this because she would rather protect her family.

Lord Findley has always had a soft spot for Hettie. When he discovers that she’s being blackmailed into marriage is outraged. He’ll marry her himself…anything to keep her out of the hands of her devious cousin. Now they’re racing toward Scotland, hoping they can outrun the man who seeks Hettie’s hand and her fortune.

But there will still be obstacles to face in Scotland. Will they be able to overcome these obstacles?

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