Between the Devil and the Duke

3.5-4 Stars

This was delightful! Angelique is a strong female lead, who is intelligent, and the backbone of her family. Her brother is an idiot. Boy, if I were her, I would have slapped the shit out of him in the scene after she wakes up from bringing him home in his drunken stupor. The hero, Alex, is not overly domineering, which is a relief. He doesn't act like just because he is interested in Angelique he gets to dictate much of anything, but he does try to be overly helpful in a lot of situations.

There was not a lot of emotional grab in this book, just a little mystery and some good banter between Angelique and Alex. All of which was enjoyable, especially at the beginning of the book when Alex meets Angelique for the first time, and then meets her thoroughly drunk brother. (The brother is trying to save Ang from Alex, needless to say she doesnt need saving.)

Definitely a fun read! And the cover is absolutely beautiful.
