The Duke’s Guide to Winning a Lady (The Strongs of Shadowcrest, #7) by Alexa Aston 

US pub date - 10/18/24

The final title in the Strongs of Shadowcrest series, I adored this one. 

Although she’s perfectly content in the countryside with her animals, and helping to run the estate, Effie, the youngest Strong, goes to town with her family in preparation for her first season, which she’s agreed to mostly for the sake of her mother.

A widowered duke, Malcolm is determined to choose his own bride and when he meets his younger sister’s new friend, Effie, he’s taken by her personality, wit, and looks. 

As Malcolm and and his sister, Ada, spend more time with the Strongs, they are both determined to come out from under their mother’s thumb and choose their own future partners. 

Very enjoyable story, easily reads as a stand-alone.
