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.
The unexpected duchess
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 isnβt 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, unprecedentedβ¦and undeniably true.
Genevieve is now a βdukeβ, or, rather, a duchess. So what is
she to do when the ton eyes her every move, hoping
sheβll 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
unladylikeβrun into his arms.
