Blame It on the Duke by Lenora Bell6/29/2023 ![]() She was incredibly funny with her incessant chattering about strange subjects that manage to repel unwanted suitors. From the first book in the series, I fell in love with Alice - a woman willing to use her intelligence to avoid an unwanted marriage. OPINION: I absolutely loved this book - and not how I expected to. The two will marry and spend one month together and then she will be free to pursue her interests in travel and scholarly pursuits and Nicholas will be free to pursue his scandalous life. Alice doesn’t want to marry either…she has spent three years avoiding that outcome by scaring off suitors. When his father gambles him away in marriage to the daughter of a rich merchant, Nicholas eventually ends up making a deal with his “fiance” Miss Alice Tombs. ![]() THE STORY: Nicholas, the future of Duke of Barrington intended to never marry but rather enjoy his debauched life until the madness that runs in his family claimed him as well. Quirky and funny with incredibly serious and heartbreaking turns, this book ended up being my favorite of the series. “She’s insulted him, lied to him, and done everything in her power to repel him…and somehow ended up completely charming him.”įINAL DECISION: Loved, loved, loved this one. ![]()
