Bringing Down the Duke: 1 (League of Extraordinary Women)

Product Information

Anyway, this was still a good debut romance novel and I'm looking forward to reading about Lucy in the next one. Bringing Down the Duke gives us the best that the romance genre has to offer: light-hearted fun, steamy sex scenes, and lots of brooding, read-between-the-lines dialogue. It also serves up a few additionally tasty accoutrements, including royals, a heroine with a feminist agenda (Suffragism! Get involved, people), and witty repartee that make for a very entertaining read. FYI, this is not a book that takes itself seriously—but I think you’ll agree the result is serious fun. Cheers! Follows the adventures of an entirely unconventional heroine who throws herself into the London Season to find a wealthy husband. But the last thing she expects is to find love... Bringing Down the Duke is the best historical romance I’ve read all year.. . . Evie Dunmore is a marvellous, fresh new voice in romance who is sure to go far.

Partway through this book, I began to hope that the title meant that it was set in an alternate timeline, where the Duke would be Brought Down by means of a guillotine, and the entire system of monarchy and nobility would be toppled in a swath of bloody revolution, as it well deserves. As I frigging well deserved for slogging through a book with such an unlikable asshole of a hero. There's your cover blurb: This Book Turned Me Into (Even More Of) An Anti-Monarchy Communist: Save A Cow, Eat The Rich.i like historical fiction and i like romance, so i have no idea why its taken me so long to get onboard the historical romance train. but i am so happy this was my first ride into the genre.

Through the alternating perspectives of Annabelle and Sebastian, we get to see that the greatest angle of this love story is that the characters weren’t delirious on love at first sight, or obsessed with how attractive the other was. In fact, if anything, there was a little hostility between the pair similar to the romance of Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice.Brilliant but destitute Annabelle Archer is one of the first female students at Oxford University. In return for her scholarship, she must recruit influential men to champion the rising women’s suffrage movement. Her first target is Sebastian Devereux: cold, calculating and the most powerful duke in England. The author gave me time to get acquainted with both main characters plus the side protagonists. She developed them in a way, I learned gradually about their pasts, pain and wounds. It rendered them more alive. Bring Down the Duke is a story of love, independence, and soul mates. It’s one of those romances that makes your heartache as you follow along holding your breath hoping the characters get their happy ending. Evie Dunmore’s debut novel is nothing short of a perfect love story. Even [Helen of Troy’s] obsession with Paris was compelled by a poisoned arrow—what’s romantic about that?”
