A sweet, fun, and thoroughly entertaining romance, How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days was a wonderful read. I really enjoyed reading this lovely novella.Pippa was a great heroine. She was determined to to things on her own terms, refusing to bow to the demands of others. She was clever, though oddly unconcerned about her reputation, and her antics brought a lot of fun to the book. I thought she was lovely.Lucas seemed like a domineering jerk at first, to be brutally honest. But, as the book went on, we see why he acted the way he did and that there was a whole lot more to him than what he showed. Underneath all that strict control, he was very sweet, protective of his loved ones, and determined to ensure his family's fortune after his father squandered it. I really liked him. He was rather adorable.The romance was lovely. Pippa and Lucas were great together. I wasn't really feeling it, though, because Pippa spent most of her time focused on defying Lucas and Lucas spent most of his time trying to keep control. But, I thought it was sweet that, despite all that, their feelings for each other still grew. Not to mention the sizzling chemistry between them. Overall, I thought they were a wonderful couple.The plot was well paced and I was kept interested the entire way through. This book was so much fun to read, just to see the crazy things Pippa did to prove a point. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days was a wonderful historical romance novella. I really enjoyed reading this sweet, fun, and utterly charming book. Romance lovers, if you want a quick, sweet read, then this is your book.*I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review
