The Duchess Deal Review

Description:  When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules… Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do. His terms are simple: - They will be husband and wife by night only. - No lights, no kissing. - No questions about his battle scars. - Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again. But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own: - They will have dinner together every evening. - With conversation. - And unlimited teasing. - Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love…

My Thoughts: The Duchess Deal is the first romance book that i've enjoyed & had the most fun with in a while. For a while i thought i wasn't liking the romance genre anymore but this was exactly what i needed. I've been going through a lot of personal stuff, the stresses of self isolation has been wearing me thin. This book was such a nice break & really helped me escape. This book was actually the first historical romance book i've read. I wasn't sure i was going to possibly like this genre but i'm interested in reading more. Tessa Dare did a wonderful job with the characters. Emma and Ash's banter made me laugh out loud so many times. Also Emma & Ash's character development was very nice. I liked how they both slowly got to know each other over the story & how their love grew. Tessa Dare also did a good job it keeping this book historical but also added some more modern views. It was subtle & really added to the book. Overall i enjoyed this book and i'm looking foreword to reading the other books in this series as soon a possible.

“And governesses are gently bred women, aren’t they? I don’t meet that qualification either.” • “I don’t care if you’re gently bred, roughly bred, or a loaf of brown bread with butter. You’re educated, you understand propriety, and you’re...breathing.” ✶ I don’t often post about the romance books that I read and I’m not too sure why that is. I was somewhat newly introduced to Tessa Dare and I have loved the books I’ve read. I think we all know I’m a sucker for fluff {that’s a compliment}, banter, and a HEA, and Tessa’s books are filled with those things. ✶ Tessa will be in conversation with Helenkay Dimon today at @mystgalaxybooks at 2pm! If you’re local, you should go and if you’re not, MG ships! ✶ For your consideration, I give you the easiest photo I’ve ever taken. This was the first set up and photo and why can’t all of them be so easy? ——————— Do you read romance?

Actually, excessively, overly and remarkably in love with the chain of events that led me to the book (recommend by @literaryillusions) and to devour the audiobook over a period, longer than I preliminary anticipated (buddy read with @vicious.but.romantic). Willingly, vigorously, promptly and cordially I have allowed myself to float in emotions in the dark of the night with the essence full personality, minor or major. Carefully but quietly, hastily but deliberately, intentionally but fleetingly, expeditiously but prudently, I promise to keep them in my heart and persuade each and everyone who has not engaged in this tilted journey and reach home. . . . #historicalromance #theduchessdeal #tessadare #girlmeetsduke #historicalromancenovel #historicalromancereaders #mostrecommended #bookrecommendations #bookreview #bookphotography #bookflatlay #ebookstagram #ebookreader #ebookaddict #kindlereads #kindleromance #beautyandthebeast #beautyandthebeastretelling #indianbookstagram #indianbookstagrammer #indianbookblogger #unitedbookstagram #unitedbookstagramindia #bookaholic #romancereadersofinstagram #romancebookreview #romancebookblogger #romancebookaddict #romancelandia #alphamale https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRKrt-LK-m/?utm_medium=tumblr

“She smiled. “Do you know, I suspected you were a good man, deep down. Even if very, very, very deep down. In a fathomless cavern. Underneath a volcano.” ― Tessa Dare, The Duchess Deal 📚💕 . . . I had a sleepover with my best friend for the first time in months last night and it was great, we drank some wine, watched Frozen 2, Onward, and a few episodes of The Marvellous Mrs Maisel and it was awesome.  I’ve missed spending time with her, and despite me getting peopled out faster than normal it was like no time had passed at all.😊 . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #Bookworm  #bibliopile #bookdragon #books #booknerd #bookish #romancereads #readromance  #romancebooks #romancenovels#tradepaperback #tradepaperbackromance #ausbookishfeatures #historicalromance#avonromance #avonbooks #mybookfeatures #avonhistorical #booksbooksbooks #avonhistorical #bookchicboutique #booksleeve #bookflatlay #theduchessdeal #tessadare #girlmeetsduke https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFYXV5gu3D/?igshid=le62lj1w5ds0
