MY FAIR DUCHESS was my first Megan Frampton book and I was
delighted
by it. I tore through it in one day and if there is any
part of you that is intrigued by the synopsis, I would
encourage you to head to the right of the page and
purchase this from your venue of choice.
I adored the way Frampton explored the inner turmoil of
Archie. He has a deep sense of duty to the job he's been
given, annoyance that he's been given the job but he
won't admit it, and then burgeoning love for Genevieve.
It's an authentic journey to love and Frampton makes sure
we know that Archie has processed all he needs to in
order to fully commit to that happily ever after.
Genevieve is a fun heroine as well. She's a determined
learner, though a frequently frustrated one. The
issues of class and education and what both of those
things really are permeate this story.
I absolutely recommend MY FAIR DUCHESS to any fan of historical
fiction, especially those who like theirs with female
agency and a realistic HEA.
Archibald Salisbury, son of a viscount, war hero, and
proficient in the proper ways of aristocratic society, has
received orders for his most challenging mission: Genevieve,
Duchess of Blakesley. How she inherited a duchy isn’t his
problem. Turning her into a perfect duchess is. But how can
he keep his mind on business when her beauty entices him
toward pleasure?
It was impossible, unprecedented…and undeniably true.
Genevieve is now a “duke”, or, rather, a duchess. So what is
she to do when the ton eyes her every move, hoping
she’ll make a mistake? Genevieve knows she has brains and
has sometimes been told she has beauty, but, out of her
depth, she calls on an expert. And what an expert,
with shoulders broad enough to lean on, and a wit that
matches her own. Archie is supposed to teach her to be a
lady and run her estate, but what she really wants to do is
unladylike—run into his arms.
