Though this is the fifth book in the Wildes of Lindow Castle series and does feature some characters from previous books, readers new to the series should be able to fully enjoy this story without having read the others first. It's exactly what I needed, had me grinning pretty much from beginning to end, and features a hero who made me sigh and a heroine who is one of my all-time Eloisa James favorites.
Say Yes to the Duke is a witty, feel-good, historical romance that checked all of my happy boxes. In addition to various members of the Wilde family and Devin's family, there's a "pretty" vicar who not only plays an important role in Devin's and Viola's relationship but also finds himself caught in a romantic tangle of his own. The secondary cast of characters in this book are a delightful accompaniment to the journey. Their chemistry is off the charts and, let me just say, I'll never view a china closet in the same way again! It's fun to watch their relationship deepen as they explore the passion between them, gradually opening their hearts to one another and the love that continues to grow between them. Their playfulness with one another is such a joy. I love his pursuit of her how he embraces his (well-hidden) romantic side to woo her. She is exactly what he needs in his life, as he is the perfect mate for her. And I adore how she takes Devin to task from their first meeting. I love her quiet determination and caring nature. I love her growth throughout the story, how she gradually gains confidence and slowly begins to embrace the strength and power within her, as well as her Wilde side. This is one of those books.Įven though I've read all of the books in this series, I really had no idea what to expect of Viola other than knowing she's shy. In short, a book that's fun, that makes me grin, laugh, and sigh - a book that makes me happy.
But, other times, I want a book that's filled with witty banter, a boisterous and loving family, flirtatious fun, sizzling desire, and heart-tugging romance between two characters who had me in their corner, urging them on to a happily ever after. There are times I'm in the mood for a book filled with conflict and angst a book that takes me on an emotional roller coaster ride.
