Oh my. I'm so glad this was on Kindle Unlimited and I didn't have to pay for it. I tried. I really tried, but I just can't finish read ANY of the novellas in this set. The plots are ridiculous, the characters unlikable and/or paper thin, the setting are totally unresearched. But the thing that just will NOT leave my mind is the poor horse (single, ONE horse) that was pulling the traveling carriage that crashed in the second novella. I was pleased that the horse survived. Too bad there were not more characters in the coach.
Historical novels should try for at least a modicum of actual historical detail. Also, please don't ever find and replace the name "Grace" with "Virginia" in a Regency novel. You end up with "I beg your pardon, Your Virginia" more than once. "Royal" pertains to the king/queen and household only. "Ducal" refers to family and household of a duke.
I have read many, many Regency romances in the last year or so. There are some wonderful, well-written stories. None of those stories are in this book. I read one previous book by Ms. Haversham and it was not good, so I admit to having low expectations here. Even those expectations were too high.First and foremost, Ms. Haversham should learn that while some Dukes are royalty, most are not. They are members of the peerage, not royalty. I was so tired of hearing about "royal" this and "royal" that, that I wanted to throw the book against the wall early on. Since I was reading on my Kindle I restrained myself. Still, I could not get past the first story. Reading the descriptions of the others, helpfully provided by the author in the extensive page padding of this book, made me decide to waste no further time. Why oh why do people insist on writing historical romances when they don't have a clue about the era? Or even a clue about British institutions like the peerage?As others have noted, paper thin characters, a cliched story, and dialogue that is beyond bad.
I hadn't realized the stories were all by the same author until I started reading the second story and noticed it was too similar to the first's. The series was annoying to read and the author's constant referencing of things or people as "royal" was redundant and irritating.
First of all, it's Dukes'- as in six of them. This is just an example of the need for editorial oversight for this set, or even just rereading it for double verbs and incorrect tenses. On my kindle there was at least one error for each two or three pages, which was distracting.The stories also got repetitious, as each required the duke in question to court and marry the girl. It was difficult to connect to any of the lead characters.
I expected more. The story ideas are good but the author portrays them from a third person perspective which in turn does not give them much depth. I just could not really get into the spirit of these books and found myself losing interest.
