The Duchess Deal is full of Feels, and a hero who has his head up his ass, but is not completely oblivious to it. But Drunk Elyse was right the first time. I opened it up to a random chapter and was like, “Who the fuck is Trevor?” I woke up the next morning surprised to see that Drunk Elyse gave it five stars on Goodreads because I didn’t remember the end. Apparently I can have exactly two drinks before I start loving everything and then forgetting I loved it. The first time I was at home on a Friday night, enjoying a few rum and Cokes and unwinding. The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare is a fairytale Regency that blends Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella and Batman. Genre: Historical: European, Regency, Romance
