Lady Margaret “Meg” Pinwell learns about the advantageous
match her parents made for her. She knows nothing about her ducal betrothed
except for what she has read in the papers. With her aunt’s help, Meg
masquerades as a lady’s companion and visits his country estate. However, an
accident forces both women to continue their disguises. Meg finds she prefers
the duke’s rapscallion butler than him. Which man will Meg ultimately choose? The
aristocrat? Or the butler?
James Clay, the Duke of Earnhurst, has no interest in
restoring his ancestral home. He enjoys annoying his man of business - that he
inherited from his late father. When two women show up, unannounced, James
introduces his employee as the duke. However, an unfortunate accident forces
James and Elliott to continue the ruse. He never expected to fall in love with
a lady’s companion. She becomes James’ reason in fixing up his home. Will his
guests learn of his and Elliott’s true identities? But at what price?
I could not connect with either Meg or Clara. There were
moments when both women annoyed me. I understand Meg’s concern about the validity
behind the rumors surrounding James. Any sheltered young woman would be. What I
disliked the most about Meg is the opinion she formed about Elliott. She had
already made up her mind about him. Meg did not want to see his good points,
just the bad.
I did not care much for James’ attitude. However, he
slowly endeared himself to me. I understand some of James’ anger towards his
late father and jealousy of Elliott. It is just a shame that he and his father
could not have made amends.
A DUKE NEVER TELLS is a standalone historical romance by
Suzanne Enoch. This book contains two romances. It did feel like it centered
more on Clara and Elliott’s romance than Meg and James. For some reason, this
book did not grab me like the author’s past works.
