The Duchess Deal: Girl Meets Duke

By Tessa Dare

When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules… Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do. His terms are simple: - They will be husband and wife by night only. - No lights, no kissing.  - No questions about his battle scars. - Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again. But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own: - They will have dinner together every evening. - With conversation. - And unlimited teasing. - Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love…

I love this couple. The wit, the banter, the Shakespearean swears. I laughed at more in this book than I have in any of the so-called romcons I've been reading. This was delightful.

I didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but I very much enjoyed it. The banter was cute and I caught myself laughing out loud multiple times. Emma and Ash are both so stubborn, even when they both know what’s going on. I will definitely be checking out the next book, especially if it follows Emma’s group of friends.
