Fresh Fiction Review

The Day of the Duchess
Sarah MacLean

Reviewed by Kristen Donnelly
Posted February 14, 2018

Romance Historical

Y'all. THIS BOOK.

Sarah MacLean has been clear DAY OF THE DUCHESS is a cathartic reaction to the 2016 Election. (If you haven't read it, her piece in the Washington Times about hope and tenderness and groveling is worth your time.) She wanted to craft a hero who was absolutely, 100%, feminist, and still make him realistic to the definition of that idea in the regency era. Personally, as I am not a historian of that era or particular about detailed accuracy if the story is good enough, I think she nailed it.

Sera and Haven are cemented in my Top 10 couple list for this year, and the closing scenes are so perfect that I have already re-read this book - which I rarely do.

DAY OF THE DUCHESS is a gift. Do yourself a favor and receive it.

SUMMARY

The one woman he will never forget…

Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer’s end. There is only one problem—he already has one.

The one man she will never forgive…

After years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal—to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. Haven offers her a deal; Sera can have her freedom, just as soon as she finds her replacement…which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want, but somehow cannot resist.

A love that neither can deny…

The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day
