Forever My Duke is the second novel in a brand new Regency romance series from Olivia Drake about rakish dukes and the governesses who steal their hearts."I find Miss Fanshawe to be quite charming--for an American."--The Prince Regent Hadrian Ames, the Duke of Clayton, needs a bride. He even has the perfect one picked out. That is, until he meets the lovely, free-spirited Natalie Fanshawe. She's the opposite of what a man of his high rank should desire in a wife--an outspoken American who has never even set foot in a London ballroom.But Natalie doesn't have time to be swept off her feet by a handsome duke who must be a spoiled scoundrel like every other British lord. And she couldn't care less about Hadrian's title. After all, it's not as if he actually worked to attain his wealth and status. He surely can't understand what it's like to be a busy woman, planning to open a school while trying to reunite a six-year-old orphan with his English relatives. Nevertheless, Hadrian launches his campaign to win her heart. Can the utterly delightful American beauty ever find a way to love him...despite his being a duke?

I wanted to love this, especially since @robinb did, but this fell flat for me. I quit 1/4 of the way through. It lacks the humor and witty banter that I love, which are hallmarks of Tessa Dare & Sarah MacLean and I absolutely detested the heroine. I didn‘t find her strong and independent. I found her snobbish and rude. One assumes the Duke will change her opinion on British aristocracy, but I‘m not interested in finding out. 👇🏻

DGRachel My first Olivia Drake and probably my last. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin‘s for the eARC. 4y
robinb So sorry you didn‘t like it! And I do agree that the heroine took a little getting used to but she grew on me. And yes, all/everyone came right in the end. After all, it IS a historical romance, right?! 😂🤣🤣 4y
DGRachel @robinb The HEA is why I read them! 😉 4y
robinb @DGRachel You and me both!! ❤️😂 4y

I totally enjoyed this one! A bit like Cinderella, it follows the story of a young American woman who journeys to England to keep a promise to her dying best friend to return her son, Leo to his English grandfather.

The hero/heroine were the stars here...I adored them both! Natalie is independent, brave, and fiercely loyal...as is Hadrian. And they make a perfect match! Happy to add Drake to my TBR! 4/5⭐️
