The Duke's Rules of Engagement by Jennifer Haymore

💖💖💖💖
The Duke's Rules of Engagement by Jennifer Haymore, set in 1817 London, is a lovely historical romance with great messages and a wonderful love story. Jo and Matthew have a wonderful love story filled with great banter and chemistry. Joanna Porter, a matchmaker, believes in love, despite not finding it for herself. She works hard to provide for her family, often placing the needs of others ahead of her own. Matthew Leighton, the Duke of Crestmont, similarly regularly thinks of others and not himself. Reluctant to fall in love again, Matthew is bound by obligation and duty to marry and provide an heir. As he was hurt by love in the past, he doesn’t want to risk having his heart broken again. He isn’t looking for an ever after ending, just a "proper" duchess to wed and tolerate so he can have an heir and keep the title from passing to his uncle. As Jo helps Matthew find a duchess, she discovers she is falling for him. There are many fun and heartwarming moments, and their growing feelings for each other spark and sizzle. With a balance of lightness, humor, romance, and spice that will capture your attention and leave your heart happy, I highly recommend The Duke's Rules of Engagement to other readers.
