Publisher Description
A feel good, opposites attract romance between a grumpy hero and an indomitable heroine, from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author:
Miss Virginia Underwood cannot resist rescuing a stray. Her latest find turns out to be a surly, reclusive war hero trying to recover from his wounds in peace. He doesn't want her help—and Virginia definitely doesn't want to fall in love. Not when a future with him would mean returning to the the same haut ton who laughed her out of Town during her very first Season.
Theodore O’Hanlon, Viscount Ormondton, sequestered himself far from London to heal in anonymity. For now, he can be himself. As soon as he returns, he's meant to wed the woman his father selected years before. But when Miss Underwood turns his carefully mapped life upside-down, Theo must decide which battles are truly worth fighting for.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erica Ridley’s newest regency romance series features twelve delightful laugh-out-loud romps… and plenty of delicious dukes!

Never Say Duke
Ignore the distinctly not Regency cover with the obviously photoshopped cat. This was a nice read full of fun and feeling about physical rehabilitation and accommodating social anxiety. Duke, cat, and Swinton, butler, are the best. It did, however, get a little repetitive toward the end, and Theodore’s public spectacle of a grand gesture was weird given Virginia’s persistent social anxiety. There also appears to be some continuity issues, where Theodore acts like Virginia’s consistent desire over the years not to marry is new information despite straight up saying she didn’t want to marry when he asked if she was single. Also, Virginia said she and her sisters weren’t fond of each other, making their reunion and sudden support feel convenient and opportunistic, especially with the absence of support before the asylum, as the author needlessly tries to tie everything up in a bow at the end.
Funny and heart warming
A very fun read. You fall in love with the characters. The wounded war hero and the awkward healer. Great fun.
Wonderful!
The characters are well defined, the story phenomenal and the writing! What can I say but we’ll done!
