Susan’s Reviews > The Worst Duke in the World > Status Update

89% a closed door, wordy novel but interesting to read something different

An editor or ten wouldn’t go amiss

59% Guess this is a no-steam which makes sense given the sweetness

The author seems to be making the characters talk like Wodehouse characters would in real life- at least the silly, sweet hero and heroine. But the book is going slow and easy to leave. I can’t believe I’m only at 50%. That sentiment started at 20-something and again each addition my Al 10%

Sweet rom-com regency

Same butler’s name too

Hero, Anthony Farr Duke of something, seems to be based on Lord Emsworth of Blandings with a beloved pig and slovenly dress. Promising way to start!
