4 STAR

Ginger Voight combines a little bit of rock n roll with the very big world of royalty in Peaches & the Duke. A story that is very descriptive in the telling of the romance between Prince Augustine and one Peaches McPhee. Two souls whose lives should have never crossed paths but somehow they did and both soon find that the other is the one person that makes undoubtedly makes them whole.

Once more, Voight's penchant for allowing her heroine to be herself no matter her size nor her station in life, is wildly appealing to me. Peaches is real and true and nothing that a prince should be looking for in a future queen. But as the writer/reporter and the soon-to-be former Duke of Mayhem set off on his final worldwide tour, a love slowly blossoms that not only change each of their lives but makes it that much better. 

I loved that Auggie is a prince by day and rocker by night. I only wished we could have gotten a bit more of that side of him. But since this is the first book of a trilogy, I'm hopeful that perhaps we'll get at least one more look at the Duke's wilder side. Voight uses this book to elaborately describe all the regal proponents when visiting royalty from the furnishings to the wardrobe. It clearly sets the stage for what is to come as both Auggie and his Pea make a huge declaration in the last few pages where their lives will definitely change for good. 

The McPhee family is wonderful. A very loving but somewhat motley crew who are the furthest thing from regal as you can get. Yet their charm is undeniable, especially when it comes to the scene-stealer in Dash, even the Queen herself not being able to resist his gorgeous innocence. There is a 2nd subplot involving Pea's sister Fern and I'm hopeful we get more of her own royal romance in the next two books. 

This is a slow burn kind of romance, yet you can sense the sincere affection Auggie and Peaches have for one another despite her own huge bump in the road that might've put off another man. But the Duke can't keep his eyes nor his hands off of his Pea and I just hope the future is a bright as their love. 

I'm looking forward to what crazy will happen next since theirs is a love story that has truly just begun. Great characters combined with beautiful moments and one heck of a surprise pairing, Peaches & the Duke is well worth your time. I happily give it a solid 4 stars!

Another great book. This one had me up until the wee hours of the morning finishing it. I can't wait for the next installment. I could have done with less of the dawn out history lesson and more scenes with Dash he's my favorite too, but over all it was a great book. It was a treat to see some old favorites. Auggie is absolutely my new book boyfriend.
