Bringing Down the Duke

Spoiler-Free Review:

This book was so good! I don't think I've read any regency since I read Bridgerton at the beginning of last year, and this was a great way to get back into it. I love books set in this time period and the escapism that they offer. While the ideals of this time period seem outrageous in today's time, I still love the richness of the genre. This book is an adult regency romance that follows Annabelle and Sebastian. Annabelle is a lowborn woman and Sebastian is a duke and they find themselves captivated with each other. There is amazing sexual tension and the payoff is so well written! I really like when everything is written in the same “language” and its time period, and Evie Dunmore executes this very well and tastefully. The duke is perfectly grumpy and broody, and he gives off extreme protective male vibes. There are even a few “who did this to you” moments. There may be a few topics in this book that can be triggering, and although not deeply discussed, check for triggers before reading. This book is an adult romance, 18+ for sexual content.
