Lonely Leah's life just isn't going her way. Jilted by her ex-boyfriend Kevin so he could be with his fiancee and feeling abandoned by her best friend, the newly married Jaime, Leah decides to follow Jaime's example and head to the past to find her perfect man. With the help of Mrs. Knightbridge, the matchmaking housekeeper from the magical antique bureau, Leah steps into Regency England...

... And falls into the arms of Avery Russell, the Duke of Granville's valet. Leah throws herself at Avery thinking that he is the Duke AND the one Mrs. Knightbridge meant for her. Only one of which is true. Leah decides to enlist Avery's help to catch her Duke, but she is in for a rude awakening. Avery doesn't know what to do with this strange woman, but he sure as hell wants her and he will do whatever it takes to claim her as his own. Will Avery be able to handle this modern American geeky woman?

GEEK GIRLS DON'T DATE DUKES by Gina Lamm is the sequel to THe Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl. GEEK GIRLS DON'T DATE DUKES has a bit of a Downton Abbey feel with Avery reminding me of Branson. I hear an Irish lilt in my head whenever Avery talks or thinks. Avery's analogies when it comes to Leah are some of the most creative I've ever read. The attraction Avery feels for Leah is palpable, as is Leah's excitement at being in a place that she has only ever dreamed about. I love Leah trying to explain her origins to a man that has no ken of time travel and no care for her beyond her impropriety.

GEEK GIRLS DON'T DATE DUKES is a fun, spastic read. Some contemporary tech references do date the book, but overall this is a great modern girl meets hot historic guy romance.
