Blog Tour: The Duke's Runaway Bride by Jenni Fletcher*

 

'From shopkeeper…

To Duke’s wife

When Beatrix, Duchess of Howden, writes to her estranged husband offering a divorce, she’s stunned when he arrives on her doorstep with a different proposition: a six-week marriage trial! Quinton Roxbury seems cold and inscrutable, but Beatrix gradually realises his rough exterior hides a heavy burden. As their connection deepens, dare she trust him with her own scandalous past and risk the marriage she never knew she wanted?'

This is the story of Quinton and Beatrix, a pair that know what they want individually but what each of them wants does not exactly match up. The story is told over 26 Chapters including a Prologue and Epilogue. The Prologue is brilliant as it gets the reader intrigued right from the get go. It is also the third book in the 'Regency Belles of Bath' series. Check out my review of the second one HERE.

The book jumps straight into the story which is brilliant, as it keeps the reader gripped and wanting to find out what happens next. The book is easy to get stuck into and readers will find soon find themselves flying through the chapters. 

The two characters themselves could not be more different. Beatrix found a life in Bath and very much wants to keep her independence and freedom. Whereas Quinton wants to avoid any scandal. throughout the book there are some brilliant character interactions. Not only between Quinton and Beatrix but also between them and other characters. 

Now let me tell you a little bit about the Author Jenni Fletcher, who was born in Scotland but now lives in Yorkshire. She writes historical romance novels ranging from the Roman to late Victorian eras. While at Cambridge and Hull she studied English and has been nominated for 4RoNA awards. Winning for Short Romantic Fiction in 2020. Jenni teaches Creative Writing at a University in the North of England. Her favorite hobbies include baking and of course Reading.

Overall I completely fell in love with the story of Quinton and Beatrix. Everything in this book appeals to me as a reader.  If anything this book makes me want to read the first book even more. It also makes me want to see where the story goes next. The Epilogue on this book actually gives the reader a hint to who the next story is about. You can get your copy HERE

Until Next Time
