"Every design you've shown me has impressed me even more than the last, so do not be surprised if I swoon into your manly embrace upon seeing it.
'Everyone does,' he assured her. 'I owe all of my musculature to the durdgery of endlessly catching those who swoon into my arms.'"

Lady Isabelle and Calvin McAlistair are thrown together in unlikely circumstances in this funny, light & entertaining romp of a tale involving unlikely mistruths and fun descriptions of tailoring. I loved this short romance book, it was funny and light and such a nice diversion.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing a review copy of this book.

This is the first book I've read by Erica Ridley and actually, the first regency romance I've read in quite some time. It was a fun reentry into the regency romances because I really liked both the characters, Belle and Calvin. I really liked their interactions, which were natural and well done, even integrating the issues with social class and expectations in a realistic way. It was short but paced well through most of the book, although I have to admit that I felt like the end was a bit rushed. Overall, though, I was happy to have had the opportunity to read an early copy, given to me by NetGalley.

Another great addition to the Dukes of Christmas series.

Due to a snow storm Belle is forced to stop in a posting house on the way to Chressmouth. Her maid has fallen ill and Belle needs to get creative to get out of her clothing. Calvin is on his way to an important business meeting in Cressmouth and was also delayed at the same posting house. Both form an alliance, helping each other and falling in love while doing so.

Belle and Calvin are easy to root for characters.

The perfect historical RomCom for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

This is my fair and honest review, voluntarily given and in my own words, for this ARC. I have said it before and I will keep saying it YOU NEED TO READ THIS DELIGHTFUL SERIES!!!

This was a sweet story of two strangers being stranded in a posting-house just before Christmas and how they help each other out. I thought this novella was well written and the characters were also loveable.

Calvin and Belle fall in love within a few days of meeting but unbeknownst to Calvin, Belle has lied about who she really is. I really liked the way the author handles their story and how it all turns out right. The ending made me smile:)

I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Dawn with the Duke is a charming, fun romance. I would have liked it to be longer, I read it in one sitting! All of the titles so far in the 12 Dukes of Christmas series have been delightful.
