Say Yes to The Duke by Eloisa James

Say Yes to the Duke

By Eloisa James

★★★★★

Miss Viola Astley is the original introvert. Shy and she has actual 
physical issues when it comes to anything public with a 
person she doesnt know. Just the idea of it makes her 
stomach roll. But then she meets a vicar that is set to 
lead a quiet life. Being the wife of a vicar would also 
mean a quiet life. The Vicar, Mr Marlowe, is handsome,
polite and kind. And when Viola meets him, her stomach
doesnt so much as tremble. She decides to hatch a plan
to marry him!

There is one little thing. He is engaged. But Viola 

immediately knows the Miss Pettigrew is the 
completely wrong woman for him! So she sets her 
ideas in motion. To become the future wife of
Mr Marlowe. The Miss Pettgrew problem will surely
resolve itself. 

Viola finds herself in an eavesdropping situation. 
We all know that you never hear anything good about
yourself when you are listening in this way. Of course,
Viola hears plenty from Devin, The Duke of Wynter. 

This situation sets off a series of happenings. Some 
exploding. Some quiet. Some mysterious. 
My favorite thing about this story is the fun of it. 
Eloisa James never presents predictable characters. 
They are sometimes surprisingly dull. But we all know, 
 there is someone for everyone.  Many are funny.
Families are often strong. The locations are easy to 
imagine as you read.  I always enjoy reading an
Eloisa Jame story. Say Yes to the Duke brings new
blood to this series. I can highly recommend it.

I read a copy from the library. 
I bought the audio version.
