Another well written story by this author. Full of drama, love, emotions, society, gossip, secrets, mystery, suspense and a marriage of convenience. Life for Lady Margaret is not the best or what she wished for. She is suppose to marry an older man who she doesn't like. Trying to think of way to get out of marry him , she is not having much luck. On her way home , she is involved in an carriage accident where Alexander saves her. He is the Duke of Somerton who has lots of secrets that he doesn't want people to know about. Alexander helps her after the accident and takes her to his home to care for her. Of course rumors start and she is freed from her engagement but she is ruined. Alexander offers her a marriage of convenience but the secrets are starting to come to life. Together they have to work and believe in getting to their happily ever after. Would recommend to others.
I received this story and leave this unbiased, honest review.

A Delightfully Chaotic Romance With All the Right Feels!
My Disastrous Duchess swept me off my feet! Hanna Hamilton has crafted a beautifully written Regency romance filled with wit, tension, and just the right amount of chaos. Lady Margaret is fiery and relatable, while Alexander is the perfect brooding duke whose life turns upside down in the most delicious way.
The chemistry between them crackles from the very first spilled glass of wine, and the forced proximity trope (thanks to a broken carriage!) was done so well. Every moment had me smiling, swooning, or holding my breath. I especially loved how their relationship grew with real emotional depth no insta love, no drama for drama’s sake, just two flawed people navigating scandal and learning to love.
A satisfying, sweet happily ever after with no cliffhangers or nonsense just pure, romantic joy. If you love strong heroines, brooding dukes, and well paced Regency storytelling, do yourself a favor and grab this book.

I really enjoyed this well-written story. Duke Alexander and Margaret did not appear to be able to get on well together. However, when Margaret was injured in a carriage accident, Alexander rescued her. She had to spend the night at his home but this lead to the gossip rags printing lies about them. Margaret was bethrothed to a much older man and she hated him. When he read the papers he broke the Bethrothal and Alexander offered for Margaret. They married but it was obvious that there were secrets in Alexander's life. What was his uncle hiding? Will the secrets endanger Alexander? Will he be able to keep Margaret safe? Read on and enjoy

The Duke Alexander & His Search..
Lady Margaret has but one option- to marry & save her family- he is despicable but that won’t save her as her mother is pushing her to go through with it. But a visit to a cousin has a disastrous outcome & she’s set events to happen that no one can foresee. A painting sets everything in motion- will she and Alexander find who they are searching for; or is it a trap?
A great read. This was my second time!

I was not expecting Margaret and Alexander's love story to evolve into so much suspense and mystery. As always I love a happy ever after ending.
