How to Catch a Duke (Rogues to Riches, #6)
Grace Burrowes
A fake engagement and plenty of charm keep the pages turning in this delightful Regency romance. "I have come to ask you to kill me, my lord." Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear, and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless, that, he proposes marriage instead of a pretense of murder, to keep Abigail safe. Stephen knows that Abigail has the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it's his last, best hope to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if he can convince her his love is real.

0 0I don't know if it's because this is the first book I've read in the six book series, or if it's the author's style, but I felt like there was a lot of context I was missing with this story. Both characters show up and it seems like the book knew more about them than I did. Maybe with more context, you'd get more from this story.
It's a solid meh from me. I read it and had no particular problems with it. But I also didn't feel strongly about it in any positive way. The characters didn't move me. It was easy to read and just as easy for me to forget. It's been about a week, and I'm having to remind myself of many things.
The writing was fine, the characters were fine. It just lacked some sort of spark for me. Your mileage may vary.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
