Review: Forever My Duke by Olivia Drake

Forever My Duke is the second novel in a brand new Regency romance series from Olivia Drake about rakish dukes and the governesses who steal their hearts.

“I find Miss Fanshawe to be quite charming—for an American.”—The Prince Regent

Hadrian Ames, the Duke of Clayton, needs a bride. He even has the perfect one picked out. That is, until he meets the lovely, free-spirited Natalie Fanshawe. She’s the opposite of what a man of his high rank should desire in a wife—an outspoken American who has never even set foot in a London ballroom.

But Natalie doesn’t have time to be swept off her feet by a handsome duke who must be a spoiled scoundrel like every other British lord. And she couldn’t care less about Hadrian’s title. After all, it’s not as if he actually worked to attain his wealth and status. He surely can’t understand what it’s like to be a busy woman, planning to open a school while trying to reunite a six-year-old orphan with his English relatives. Nevertheless, Hadrian launches his campaign to win her heart. Can the utterly delightful American beauty ever find a way to love him…despite his being a duke?

 

As always I want to start by thanking Netgalley and St. Martins Press for providing us with a copy of this book so that we can bring you this review.

Now who doesn’t like a fiesta sassy American woman putting a uppity English Duke in his place. It was nice to see how Natalie learns something new about the new place she has arrived while Hadrian also learns to be a bit more relaxed and not take things so seriously. Though Natalie is there on a mission to help a beautiful little boy get reunited with his family, she is surprised to see the type of people they are. Hadrian is great because he is able to separate himself from his feelings and his family to see things from all perspectives. He also sees that not everything is as it seams at first, there is more in the depth of the situation. Though the circumstances of what happened to the parents of the little boy are so extremely sad and he becomes very dependent on Natalie it is good to see that Hadrian works hard in showing him that he can be trusted too and is there to help him and make life easier for him.

I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one.

I give this book 5 kisses.

Happy Reading… Adri

☠ COVER REVEAL☠

★☠Dark Redemption☠★
★★ Black Hoods MC#6 ★★
★☠ COMING MAY 1ST ☠★

Authors: Avelyn Paige & Geri Glenn, Author
Cover Designer: Simply Defined Art
Photographer: Golden Czermak/ Furious Fotog
Model: Dylan Horsch

★☠Blurb☠★

For him, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is like heaven on earth. For her, it’s a living hell.
Jonas “TwatKnot” Murphy descends on Sturgis with a fairly simple plan.
1. Drink his weight in alcohol.
2. Get laid.
3. Live Bike Week to the fullest.
Offending the curvaceous bartender was not on that list. Nor was chasing after her to apologize. But she’s under his skin now, and even her smart mouth won’t stop him now.
Cora Jean Webb hates Bike Week, and as far as she’s concerned, TwatKnot can shove his apology and his stupid sexy man bun where the sun don’t shine. After what he had said, it doesn’t matter that he’s the hottest man she’s ever seen or makes her feel alive again.
Then trouble rides back into town and Cora must make a choice between her safety or her bruised heart.

Their screams haunt me.

I’ve tried to drown them out,

But now I’m forced to fight my demons in this hell.

Shackles remind me I’m a hostage.

That my pain isn’t a nightmare.

This time, the screams are my own.

Only one thing gets me through it all.

𝐵𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝐸𝑦𝑒𝑠.

She is my 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ and my 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙.

But does she want to be rescued?

I used to be haunted by the evil in my nightmares.

Now the monsters are real.

I don’t know if she’s a villain or my savior.

🦋𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙄𝙀🦋

Her death haunts me.

I’ve tried to fight for justice,

But now I’m losing myself in this hell.

I got in over my head and now I’m trapped.

This place is a nightmare.

And I have to escape.

Only one thing can stop me.

𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑟 813.

He is my 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 and my 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.

But does he deserve to be rescued?

He’s haunted by his nightmares.

Maybe he deserves them.

I don’t know if he’s a villain or a savior.
