Say Yes to the Duke

A perfectly charming historical romance - set in the Georgian era, which is a little earlier time period than most of the historicals I read, so it was a bit of an adjustment to envision the characters with powdered wigs and panniers, but that's not too big of a deal. This is the fifth in a series and I haven't read any of the others, but I don't think I really lost out on anything despite that. This was just a pleasant world to escape to for a few hours, with mostly likable characters who mostly like each other, and no huge drama or conflict. Even the Big Secret is kind of silly and resolved in one conversation, so this is what you'd call a low-conflict book, which I enjoy very much in These Uncertain Times.

(2020 summer romance bingo: “their nose was broken once but it only makes them more handsome.” Could work for “set on island,” technically, since it's in England, or “meddling matchmakers,” but the ball in this book is in April, so sadly no midsummer ball.)
