My Darling...and very stubborn Duke

This was my first story by Stacy Reid and it will definitely not be my last. The characters were interesting, the storyline was original and I was emotionally invested in their courtship and the struggles they faced.

I absolutely loved that this author was not afraid to approach an issue that is rarely raised (wink, wink) in romance. A man sacrificing his own happiness because of his inability to give his love everything he thinks she deserves. By the end, even I was convinced that the heroine was not going to miss out on much because of the extra effort he went to.

I will now go searching for more of this authors work. If you're looking for a feel-good historical romance...after a few bumps and a rough ride, I highly recommend giving My Darling Duke a try.
