Faced with an insolvent estate, the Duke of Greydon has no choice but to return to England in a final attempt to revive his family’s fortunes. He’s been gone for years, happy to have escaped his mother and the petty circles of the ton. To his dismay, not much has changed, including the beautiful and vexing heiress next door.
But when an accident of fate traps the friends-turned-enemies in an attic together, the explosive attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore and even harder to resist. They are total opposites and their lives don’t align in the slightest, but fate, the ultimate matchmaker, appears to have other plans . . .
My ReviewNever Met a Duke Like You by Amalie Howard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It was easy to root for Vesper and Aspen. Once friends these two enjoy riling each other up. They also love exchanging sharp banter and even have scathing nicknames for one another. I know this was supposed to be Clueless-inspired but it felt more Emma-inspired to me because of the darker things Aspen was dealing with.
Lady Vesper Lyndhurst is popular and beautiful, she surrounds herself with a good group of friends and raises money for various charities that help the less fortunate. She's not looking for love after what happened during her first season but as a self-professed matchmaker, she enjoys nudging people together.
The Duke of Greydon has spent many years away from England, however, estate business has forced him to return. He was happy being away from the vicious nature of the ton and his mother. Not much seems to have changed including his vexing neighbor Lady Vesper.
The attraction is hard to deny between these friends turned enemies, it's to ignore and even harder to resist.
Thanks so much to the author and Forever for this ARC to review.
