Status Updates From Chasing the Duke

You were my childhood fantasy of the perfect man. My heart galloped when you were in the same room. I staged a thousand silly plays with you as the hero.” She smiled, and she had no mirror, but it felt bitter. “But it was long ago, Your Grace. I grew up. And you left.”
His eyes flashed, his hands going into fists at his side. “I had to leave. And I am no one's hero."

angssst 👌

But Tristan’s eyes, as green as a bearberry leaf, held a thousand teasing secrets that attracted and repelled in turn.
A blatant appeal should one be set on unlocking a gorgeous mystery, which Camille was not.

Facts: 99% of all Dukes in the regency period were tortured war heroes with terrible, unfeeling parents. They also had chiseled jaws and abs.

So the title pretty much says it all for this one. She’s chasing him and he’s running away, she’s pined for him her whole life and he just notices her because she’s pretty now. It’s like a terrible 80s movie. 😏

Ok the lack of knowledge on how titling and courtesy titles work is really bugging me. These are the basics!! THE BASICS!!

A unmarried lady wouldn’t have a title like Lady Bellingham, she’d be Lady Camille but only if she was the daughter of an Earl or higher ranking gentleman.
🤔 Not knowing this stuff in HR will get you on my shit list, authors. 😝

I got this as part of a four book anthology on BookSirens but I’m reviewing them separately because I need all the credits towards my reading challenge. 🤭
I mean, four books is four books, they can’t count as one!
(Though I’ll probably review the anthology too, and I don’t care)

I’m already 90% convinced this is going to be 5 stars. The absolutely effortless charm of these characters is so tangible I can taste it!

“You think my hand is wondrous? My lips are destructive”

SIR 😩😅🫡

No but Camille’s aunt is actually iconic
