Entertaining Regency Read

The Duke's Unexpected Bride - Lara Temple

While this could have been any historical period, it also kept me reading and enjoying the read.

 

Sophie Trevelyan has been enjoying her visit to London, granted her Aunt Minnie is eccentric and has driven away most of the rest of her family.  Now she's determined to get her Aunt's pug, Marmaduke aka Duke to walk, he needs exercise and she wants an excuse to get out of the house for a break. The impromptu leash she has isn't quite successful and she ends up bumping into Max, the Duke of Harcourt (there is a funny moment when the Duke nickname has implications). Sophie is a person who needs to talk to people but she has a low filter, Max is attracted but doesn't want to but finds that she makes his life a better place.

 

I liked the story, found it vastly entertaining and want more from this author.
