Why Do Dukes Fall in Love? by Megan Frampton

Michael’s disposition is like that of many aristocrats, in that he is arrogant and impatient, snobbish and boorish.

The lives of these three very unique individuals converge when the duke finds himself in need of a secretary and Eliza discovers her deceased husband has left her destitute, meaning she will need to find a job. This cute Victorian era romance centers around Eliza Cheltham, her young daughter, Gertrude, and Michael, the Duke of Hadlow. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Why Do Dukes Fall in Love? By Megan Frampton is a 2016 Avon publication. Gertrude's sweet friendship with Michael's dog chest was adorable and I think I'd really like to read Carolyn's story now.ĪRC kindly provided by publisher in return for an honest review The banter between Edwina and Michael was very entertaining. The only real conflict in this story was the couples different stations in life and their unwillingness to share their feelings with one another or rather voice them. Until Edwina and her daughter come into his life, and for the first time in his life he finds people he enjoys spending time with. Michael cannot stand the illogical and innane activities of the ton so he keeps to himself. Michael is a socially innept man, but don't let that fool you into thinking he's a pushover. I loved how the author stayed true to the heroines independent and feisty character while still feeding my grumpy and sometimes high handed duke craving. Something that I found quite funny in this book was that is was frowned upon for a business man to have a female secretary but these days the exact opposite is probably frowned upon although not to the same extent. Not a female employee just an employee which is a rarity. When she finds employment with the Duke of Hadlow its a blessing in disguise, because while the duke may be abrupt, terribly honest and arrogant he treats her like an employee. This was read like a historical 'office romance' and I really enjoyed how the author let everything play out.Įdwina Cheltam is a widow, a penniless widow with a little a girl to take care of. but I'm not complaining because I'm having way too much fun. I don't know what it is about me with these forward thinking and feminist Victorian heroines lately. Once again I've read a book in the middle of a series and found that I would like to read the rest of the books in the series. Love is the grandest of emotions, and dukes are the grandest of men.
