Review: The Duke Who Loved Me (The Duke's Estates #1) by Jane Ashford
The Duke of Tereford is accustomed to getting his own way, but she's going to teach him a thing or two about love...
James Cantrell, the new Duke of Tereford, has inherited a dukedom in disarray and is overwhelmed by his unaccustomed responsibilities. Then he gets an idea. Cecelia Vainsmede served as liaison between James and her father, and she knows a great deal about business matters, his own in particular. She's also quite pretty. Ever the pragmatist, he suggests a marriage of convenience.
Cecelia has always been good at working with James, but she doesn't understand how he can be so obtuse. He clearly doesn't realize that he's the duke she's always wished for, or that his offer is an insult. But when a German prince arrives in London and immediately sets out to woo Cecelia, James will have to come to terms with what he really feels for her. Is running away worth the cost of losing her, or will the duke dare to win her once and for all?
Bestselling author Jane Ashford takes you to a dazzling Regency England you won't want to leave!

Mini Review: I really enjoyed reading this book! I loved the authors writing, and I know I'll be checking out more of her books in the future. I liked the sense of humor in the book! Cecelia was a great lead, and I liked James, even though he was an idiot and insensitive with how he treated Cecelia for most of the book. The side characters were great, and I'm happy to see the next book is about Harriet! Overall, I would definitely recommend reading it!
