Dukes, Actually (12 Dukes of Christmas #5) by Erica Ridley









From Goodreads

The Duke of Azureford isn’t the arrogant, aloof lord his peers perceive him to be. Yes, he’s awkward, but he has a plan to fix it. In order to woo a respectable lady, he must learn how to flirt. The completely inappropriate girl next door would make a perfect instructor, but a terrible duchess. So why can’t he walk away?

Incorrigible hoyden Miss Carole Quincy likes fast carriages, carom billiards, and the beautiful, buttoned-up Duke of Azureford. She’d be delighted to help him out of his shell and into her arms. Who cares if they’re just pretending to flirt? The heady, breath-taking, soul-consuming feeling inside her runaway heart surely can’t be love

From Goodreads

My thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 5th book in the 12 Dukes of Christmas series.  It can easily be read as a standalone, but I have been reading them in order.  At around 200 pages long this is a novella length book.  I gave it a 3 stars or 6/10.

This is the story of the Duke of Azureford and Miss Carole Quincy. Can Miss Quincy bring the Duke out of his shell? He is a slightly shy man, who comes across a tad ignorant to some, but this is down to his shyness only. They are poles apart, but there is a saying about opposites attracting. Why not grab a copy to see if this proves to be the case in this story.

This was the perfect read to dip in and out of, it's a great addition to the series and I look forward to reading #6 soon.
