Publisher Description
The Duke of Huntington has no interest in an eccentric redhead who frowns at him over her spectacles…until he realizes that she is the only possible duchess for him. A new enemies-to-lovers romance by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James.
Bespeckled and freckled, Lady Stella Corsham at least has a dowry that has attracted a crowd of fortune-hunting suitors—which definitely doesn’t include the sinfully handsome Silvester Parnell, Duke of Huntington, who laughingly calls her “Specs” as he chases after elegant rivals.
And then—
The worst happens. Marriage.
To the duke. To a man marrying her for all the wrong reasons.
How can Silvester possibly convince Stella that he’s fallen in love with the quirky woman he married?
Customer Reviews
Delightful
Lady Stella is feisty, outspoken, has freckles, wears glasses. Silvester Parnell, Duke of Huntington, was in love with, or at least thought he was in love with, Lady Yasmine.
In fact, both of Stella’s suitors are in love with Yasmine. Even though he is courting Yasmine, Silvester spend time with Stella. They play chess and dance at balls. Yasmine ultimately chooses the earl, Giles. Somewhere in all this, Silvester decides his mother was right all along and that Stella is the perfect duchess for him. Stella is not easily convinced. They do marry, but things do not go smoothly. Silvester really needs to think things through better. This is a delightful story with much humor, two eccentric duchesses, one confused duke, a lovely girl who could use some self-confidence, a steamy romance, and a happy ending. This is the third book and a wonderful addition for the Would-Be Wallflowers series. Susan Duerden’s narration was quite entertaining.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.
