Romancing the Duke (Castles Ever After, #1)

by Tessa Dare

[Amanda]

September 2015 reread: Upping my rating on Romancing the Duke to five stars because Tessa Dare is brilliant and her books are delightful, no matter how many times you read them. And that just makes me happy.

It's no secret I'm a fan of Tessa Dare. And Romancing the Duke has done little to change that... except maybe made me even more impatient for her next book. But I have a feeling that should surprise no one.

Is there really a better way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon than with a Tessa Dare book? They just make me HAPPY. And this one was no different.

Oh... the characters. Ransom is struggling with his eyesight, trying to waste away in his castle. Izzy's in need of a home after her dad dies and she loses everything---only to be given Ransom's.

An unlikely pair, to be sure, but the duke was indeed romanced. Despite all his denials that he didn't need it. And Izzy got her romance, even if she'd given up on getting it. The surprises in this book? They were good. I kinda want to read the book all over again.

If you're already a Tessa Dare fan, Romancing the Duke is a book you don't want to miss. If you're a historical romance fan, well... same thing. I can't wait until the next book in this series is out. Who will get her own castle?
