To Love A Scandalous Duke
Top. Notch. Read!
Needs clarity
Overall, the story and writing are pretty good. I love regency era, and while this may nudge Victorian, it fits the bill.
That said…how old were they? We were given scores of dates. We were told many times about their years apart. We were told Alethea had “seasonS” and spent 3 years in Scotland. So simple math puts her at at least 23 assuming she came out at 18. But then she and “dec” remember each other so we’ll after departing at what? 11? 12? It’s seriously not til 3/4 in that we learn the twins were born in 1804. So she’s 24. But guess what. We never learn Declan’s age! We’re they the same? Was he forced to leave England at freaking 12? How did he get about? Who took care of him. When did he become a businessman? Even if he was 15? We don’t know because it’s never explained and left a jarring whole in the intricacies of the plot.

Also. The earl gets off too easily. Funds to draw for his travels after murder and attempted murder..and embezzlement?!? No. Just no. He should have been left without a dime, forced to leave, snd figure things out.
