(Goodreads)īringing Down the Duke is flat out fun! Evie Dunmore has taken a common theme in historical romances (unsuitable couples) and made it fresh and entertaining. Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke. But he wouldn’t be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn’t claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring…or could he?
