Keri's Reviews > The Duke Is Mine

** spoiler alert ** I had a few issues with EJ's writing at the first of the book. I mean some of the wording and writing style. Eventually though the story really took over and I couldn't put the book down. I didn't have issues of what Olivia said about Rupert. Not because of how he was, but because she was frustrated and there was no way out for her. She knew since she was 10 that she was going to have to marry a boy 5 years younger than she was and mentally impaired. So I think for her the familiarity bred contempt. She only ever showed her frustration with her sister and she defended Rupert to anybody saying anything about him, later in the book. She also remained loyal to him in the end.

Olivia's sister, Georgina, has been invited out to the Duchess of Sconce's house, as she is on the lookout for a wife for her son, Quin. Quin for his part doesn't care one way or the other, as he no longer trust his own judgment to picking women. His first attempt ended in a heart-breaking disaster all the way around. However, once Quin sets eyes on the voluptuous Olivia, all bets are off as he sets out to woo the one woman he shouldn't have. For Olivia's part, she is torn in half for Rupert, currently away on a mission for his country and the love she is feeling for her sister's possible fiancé. Can things get any more convoluted? Well with EJ, you can sure bet they will. I thought this was a lovely heart-warming story and I hope that we get to read Georgina's story one day.
