Although Jane Austen is my heroine and Pride and Prejudice is my hands down favorite book, I don't read much historical fiction. The Lady and the Duke by Olivia Kelly is a fun read, whether you're a historical buff or not. Audrey is a young lady whose mother is desperate to see her get married off after two failed seasons of seeking an eligible match. I loved that Audrey was unconventional and a bit independent for a young lady of that time period. She meets her match when she falls for the most eligible bachelor in ton, even if she doesn't know it at the time.The story is lively and has lots of action, intrigue, and good old-fashioned misunderstandings. Olivia Kelly packs so much into the story I nearly forgot it was a novella. Kelly has a fun, lively voice and I look forward to reading her next story.
