Review of A Beauty for a Duke by Eliana Piers

A Beauty for a Duke by Eliana Piers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Really great quick read! Loved how grumpy Egan is, totally playing up the beast vibes! Such a fun story!

Eliana Piers’ novella, A Beauty for a Duke, is a delightful gem that combines wit, charm, and unexpected passion. Set during a Regency Christmas, it introduces us to two captivating characters: Sofie, a barmaid with dreams of independence, and Egan, a gruff Scottish duke.

Sofie has spurned every marriage proposal, valuing trust and true love above societal expectations. Her desire for independence leads her to a lecture on financial investment—an unlikely pursuit for a barmaid during the festive season.

Enter Egan, a beast of a man with loyalty as unwavering as his size. When he saves Sofie, he’s irked that his best mate noticed her first. Yet fate binds them together on a quest for knowledge, amidst mistletoe kisses and cozy fires.

Eliana’s prose sparkles like freshly fallen snow, evoking the magic of masquerade balls and clandestine meetings. Sofie and Egan’s chemistry is palpable, their banter delightful. The unexpected twist adds a cherry on top.

A Beauty for a Duke is a heartwarming escape—a reminder that love can bloom even in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
