Dukes in Spring is basically twelve historical romance novellas that all said, what if the love interest was a duke and everyone ended up happy. Honestly, that’s the dream. These are perfect little snack sized reads for bedtime, lunch breaks, or that awkward stretch of free time when you want romance without signing up for a full emotional marathon.
The writing is pretty solid across the board. There’s also a nice range when it comes to tone and heat, from spicy to sweet and closed door, which kept things from feeling repetitive and made it easy to pick stories based on whatever vibe I was in.
Anthologies are great for me because I get to revisit authors I already love while meeting new ones, all without accidentally reading until 2 a.m. That said, even I have limits. Twelve dukes is… a lot. I hit my personal duke saturation point after a few stories and will definitely pace myself better next time before the full Dukeness kicks in.
Overall, this is a fun, easy to dip into collection with a little something for everyone. Expect feuds, class differences, widows, age gaps, and yes, even a horse named Duke. Some of the stories go a little bold and unhinged in the best way. If you love historical romance and believe there’s no such thing as too many dukes, this one is worth grabbing.
