A Duke by Default was excellent.
I recommend A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole. I loved that book!
I’ve read A Duke in Shining Armor at least 3 times this year, so I have to say that. But I also recommend the non-fiction book Code Girls by Liza Mundy, but I think it may have come out in 2017. Still, it’s awesome and I read it in 2018, so… the history of the American women who were the code breakers in WW2. It’s amazing.
A Gentleman Never Keeps Score by Cat Sebastian was so good!
Best of Luck, Kate Clayborn
(I loved this book so so much, I think I found a new autobuy author).
Getaway Girl by Tessa Bailey
It’s a toss-up between Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai and The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren.
Hope y’all enjoyed lots of latkes last night!!
