I really enjoyed this novella. It's the first installment in a series, so this is really just the beginning of Duke and Jane's story, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable beginning. I also love the idea of these novellas correlating with the historical romances in the series, a very clever idea!Jane is a prim, quiet, good girl librarian, but Duke certainly brings out another side of her. I really liked Jane, she has aspirations to become a romance novelist and uses her fauxmance with Duke as inspiration for her story. But with the sizzling chemistry between her and Duke, it becomes increasingly difficult for Jane to remember that it's all for show.Duke was also very likable and charming. I'm looking forward to reading more about him as the series continues. We really don't see as much of the real Duke as I'd like, and I want him to realise what a gem he has in Jane!I've had The Wicked Wallflower, the historical counterpart to this story, on my kindle for a while and now I can't wait to get started on it! This is a great novella and has all the ingredients to make it a great series- super hot chemistry, super hot hero, wallflower heroine and an intriguing and fun plot.I'll be eagerly awaiting the rest of this series!*I received a review copy from the publisher, for my honest review. Thank you!
