    • Duke, Actually

    Follow-up to "A Princess for Christmas"

    Book Summary: 

    There’s a royal wedding on, and things are about to get interesting.

    Meet the man of honor

    Maximillian von Hansburg, Baron of Laudon and heir to the Duke of Aquilla, is not having a merry Christmas. He’s been dumped by a princess, he’s unemployed, and his domineering father has sent him to New York to meet a prospective bride he has no interest in. In the city, he meets Dani Martinez, a smart (and gorgeous) professor he’s determined to befriend before their best friends marry in the Eldovian wedding of the century.

    Meet the best woman

    Newly single, no-nonsense New Yorker Dani is done with love—she even has a list entitled “Things I Will Never Again Do for a Man”—which is why she hits it off with notorious rake Max. He’s the perfect partner for snow angels in Central Park and deep conversations about the futility of love.

    It’s all fun and games until their friendship deepens into attraction and, oops…

    Falling in love was never part of the plan.

    My Review:

    Pop Quiz: How many “aww” sighs and giggles can one make while reading a book?
     
    Answer: Read “Duke Actually” and you will find out! Ok not a real answer but I couldn’t get enough of this book.
     
    It is…just…TOO…cute!
     
    The banter, the evolution of their relationship, the pop culture references to some of the most endearing movies of the past. The way they paid homage to them without making it cheesy was just plain good writing!
     
    As far as mild, medium, hot, or nuclear for steamy content – I would say it is more on the medium side.
     
    Not only will this book make you wish it was Christmas, it reminds you to appreciate friendship, truth, and what it really means to look out for someone (and that sacrifices that may entail).
     
    If you are the type of person who LOVES to curl and watch a good romantic comedy, this book was written for you.
