Okay, it's a Regency romance. It's been done dozens of times before, but it's done very nicely here. Leigh D'Ansey has a real talent with words, making The Duke's Blackmailed Bride a pleasure to read. No typos, the right words in the right places, and some very pretty descriptions. Yes, it's 43 pages, so not a hugely long read, but I wasn't expecting an entire novel.Vanessa Fitzwilliam and Hugo Ashton, Duke of Northbridge get their happy ending after a few misunderstandings, the faithful old retainers all get retained, and I feel I've had good-enough value for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
