A cute story - enjoyable with lovely characters. I liked how the story was told from the different points of view, alternating between Bella and Ben.

Easy reading, and a feel good vibe to keep you engaged.

This was such a lighthearted and cute read. It was everything I needed right now. Quick and incredibly lovely. 

Benjamin, a 19th century Duke of Waldorf, accidentally travels forward in time. He finds himself in the year 2022, where Isabella, a romance writer with a broken heart, hits him with a scooter. He feels lost in this world and he has to go back to his time, so she offers him her home and help, even do she doesn't really believe he is from the 1800s. But she may find herself unable to deny it for long. 
The more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow and the more difficult it will be to say goodbye. 

I enjoyed this story, I really love time traveling books. I read it in one sitting. 
It was also incredibly unrealistic, but I think most of the time travel stories that happen in the future are.
He adapted a little too quickly honestly and there were literally no explanations at the end. I kinda wish the book was longer. 

But overall, a great read. Such a sweet and spicy story. I recommend it.

Thank you to Netgally and the publisher.

This was a cute and quick, sweet and spicy read! Great for fans of historical romance with a fun time travel element.

I‘m a sucker for historical romance and wow historical man and modern woman was just so good. Ben is such a gentleman but doesn’t have the old fashioned view of women which is so refreshing. They‘re basically roommates and then the more time they share together, the more they get to know of each other. I liked the fact that there were signs that they’re attracted to each other from the very beginning. Well what can I say the book was a solid 4/5 stars and I even cried at the end. „Stories should touch our souls“ couldn’t be more true and „Falling on a duke“ definitely touched my soul, very well written!!

Every once in a while, I get hit with how inconsistent I'm when rating books.
Falling on a Duke had a lot of my bookish pet peeves; unrealistic interactions, too perfect characters, and overall nonsense when it comes to plot line.
But what made the book work for me was the vibe, to be honest.
First of all, it read like a fanfic. Instead of Harry Styles or your favorite K-pop idol, we have Benjamin, a regency era duke who accidentally time traveled to the present time.
Now, I'm a fan of the time travel trope. But only from present to past. It makes more sense! A person from the present can adapt to the past easier because, while the living circumstances are hard, they already have a semblance of knowledge about how it was back then.
The idea that someone from the 1800s can adapt to today's technology and fast-paced life is just farfetched.
However, the romance and comedic reactions from Ben made for it.
I spent the first half laughing over how surprised, and sometimes horrified, he was over everything. It was actually really amusing. I have to say though, him being "progressive" enough to not only accept but like the new societal norms was really a big stretch. I understand making it easier for him to exist in the present, but it didn't make sense!
That being said, although some parts were just repetitive on-and-off, I couldn't help feel giddy over the fantasy the book represented.
I mean, he calls her my lady and waits for her to sit first!
The swoon factor held the bigger chunk of the book's appeal.
Definitely recommend it to someone in for a light, heartwarming read.

One of my absolute FAVORITE tropes is the fish out of water trope- someone ends up in the modern world and has no idea what is happening around them- and this is a great addition to the genre!!

A 19th century duke accidentally time travels to 2022, leaving behind family and duty, and has to find his way back with his modern guide/romance novelist savior. It’s exactly as cute as you think it’s going to be, has the right amount of lack of comprehension, and is more heartfelt than you would expect in a book less than 300 pages!!

Thanks so much to Stefani Nunes and NetGalley for a chance to read this in exchange for an honest review!

A duke from the nineteenth century is somehow transported to the twenty first. An avid regency romance reader and novelist bumps into him whilst on a scooter. I loved the premise of this novel. Whilst I liked some parts I found the writing a bit clunky, especially in the spicy scenes (maybe something lost in translation).

First page, first sentence proper and I’m immediately taken out of the story. 1817 set and the character is referring to their ‘assistant’. How present day American. Then later, in the London hospital the nurse comments “he doesn’t have his identity card”. Well no. Because they’re not a thing in the UK. There were a few other anachronisms (and whatever the word is for being out of geographical place) that grated on me. But overall a fun read.

Two things: this book is about 199 pages, so this is basically a long novella, and the first english language novel by a Brazilian author, which is already a huge accomplishment.

The story is cute and quick. Not really original, but the characters are flashed out to make you care about them, enough that I read it all in one go. It also has a great flow as well.

I did miss a strong emotional core or stronger side characters, but what can I ask of a Novella?

Good book for a quick read.

Thank you the book guild, netgallery and Stefany Nunes for the opportunity to review this arc. the thoughts and opinions are my own xx
I will be sharing my review on Instagram, fable and Goodreads.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.<br />I am always a sucker for a good time travel romance and this ticked all the boxes. It was very Kate and Leopold esq. Bella is a romance author suffering from a writers block broken heart and Duke Benjamin is a reformed rake who finds himself transported into the future, and completely falling for Bella. This was a slow burn and sweet friends to lovers that I could not put down. I cannot wait to read more from Stefany in the future.

Really nice easy read - enjoyed the time travel element although some of the historical language inaccuracies did drive me slightly nuts but that's just me being pedant. I loved how Bella was so trusting and the addition of a cute tiny dog is also a plus 💞.

First, I would like to congratulate the author on her first english translated book. It was a sweet romance, albeit an unusual one. I did enjoy the characters and the romance. Nicely done.

This was such a cute time travel romance!! i dont read time travel books very often but i really enjoyed this one! Benjamin is a 19th century duke that was brought to the 2020s where he meets out adorable FMC Isabella who is heartbroken and works as a writer that makes it her mission to help him. The chemistry throughout this book was gorgeous and i loved the choice Ben had on whether he wanted to choose love or his birthright. I will say the way Benjamin adapted very very quickly to modern times and the slang had me a bit confused and kind of pulled me out of the story. but overall it was a fun book!

Falling on a Duke by Stefany Nunes was an absolute whirlwind of passion and drama. The fiery chemistry between Benjamin, the reserved Duke thrown into the modern world, and Isabella, the guarded writer, had me hooked from the start. Their connection felt electric, with plenty of romantic tension and spicy moments that kept the heat turned all the way up. It’s a blend of time-travel intrigue, intense emotions, and swoon-worthy spice that makes for a truly captivating read. If you love romance with depth and steam, you’ll devour this one!

4 stars!

”Our love is impossible,” he tells me, ”but it’s real.”

What a lovely book! Time travel is always interesting. Writer Isabella lives in London and one day while driving a scooter she crashes with a man who is dressed in Regency clothes. Benjamin seems to believe that he is indeed from 19th century. Could that be true?

In this lovely book everything is possible, and everything falls perfectly in place. I really enjoyed this book. It made me smile! Such a sweet and spicy romance story.

WHAT I LIKED: It was such cute and sweet and happy little book! I loved Ben and Bella, and Duke the dog of course!

This is a fun, steamy time-travel romance with history, intrigue, and a love that defies time! Benjamin, a 19th-century duke, is thrust into the 2020s, where he meets Isabella, a heartbroken writer determined to help him. Their chemistry is undeniable as they unravel the mystery of his time travel, forcing him to choose between duty and love. The twist of the MMC jumping forward in time is refreshing, though Benjamin’s quick acceptance of his situation and his somewhat modern speech make his character feel (very slightly) less authentic. The hospital’s questionable decisions also raise eyebrows, but with spice, drama, and an engaging premise, this is still an enjoyable read for time-travel romance fans!

A sweet romance with some spice to it! I loved the characters (especially Duke the Corgi!). The pacing was good, I managed to finish the book in a day. Definitely a quick and fun read, gave me Bridgerton meets Outlander vibes. I did wish that the Benjamin spoke more like he was from the 1800s, he sounded a bit too modern.

Benjamin, un duque del siglo XIX, se ve obligado a asumir la cabeza de su familia tras el asesinato de su hermano mayor. Entre la gestión de las finanzas, la dirección de los asuntos familiares, el cuidado de su hermana y la búsqueda del responsable de la muerte de su hermano, Benjamin siente que su vida está a punto de colapsar. En un intento de encontrar algo de paz, termina viajando inexplicablemente en el tiempo y aparece en el año 2022.

Es allí donde conoce a Isabella, una escritora decidida a ayudarlo y pronto descubre el increíble secreto de su viaje temporal. Intrigada, se embarca en la misión de encontrar una forma de devolverlo a su tiempo. Sin embargo, mientras pasan más tiempo juntos, ambos comienzan a enamorarse. ¿Qué sucederá cuando logren descubrir cómo regresar al pasado? ¿Benjamin elegirá regresar a su época para cumplir con su deber y proteger a su hermana, incluso si eso significa dejar atrás a Isabella, el amor de su vida?



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Benjamin is the Duke of Waldorf who is magically transported 200 yrs into the future. He meets Isabella who is struggling writer with a writer's block....

Love the time travelling story. It's swoony and romantic. Benjamin is terrific. Love Isabella too.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This was a pleasant enough read. I liked the premise of the MMC jumping into the future vs the FMC falling into the past, which is the more common trope.

It didn’t seem to me that Duke spoke like a man from the 1800s and he seemed to accept far too quickly that he time traveled into the 2020s. It also bothered me that the hospital let him leave under the care of the stranger who hit him with a scooter when they were under the impression that he was under a delusion of being from the past.
