A review by livruther
The Worst Duke in London by Amalie Howard
fast-paced
4.25
thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an arc!!!
this is definitely one of my favorites from Amalie Howard. I always find her books to be at least pretty good, but I often do not remember them very well months after I read them. Evangeline having an animal shelter was definitely memorable, so I do not think I will forget too much about this one. I did notice that the writing seemed slightly more contemporary than Amalie Howard's other historicals. The circumstances were historical, but the writing was fairly modern. The spice was fun. The fact that it was a retelling made it soooo predictable, but the slight changes that Howard did make were quite enjoyable. I think she could have changed the conflict a bit so it wasn't so much like the movie. also, the secondary romance in this was really sweet.
