A light read that traverses societal norms and classes and leads to a hea.

Very enjoyable. Light and fast paced.

Historical romance featuring inspiring, intelligent lead characters. I love how the author weaved music throughout.

I highly recommend this romance and look forward to exploring more of this author's books!

Advance digital copy provided by NetGalley. Thank you!

I don't read many regency's anymore but this was a sweet story. She wants to just love her music and the Duke just wants his freedom.... or so they think. House parties really bring people together.

How the Wallflower Wins a Duke

This is my first book by this author and what a delightful find! I have been in a reading slump and this book helped me get over it.
The protagonists and the supporting characters kept the story interesting. Brook is witty, charming, and noble. Marina’s ambition about her music and future were a little unconventional for the times and the pacing of the story kept this book from being 5 stars.

Thank you to the publisher for providing the ARC.
