Who wants to Marry a Duke?

A sexy and distracting rake is tamed by a scholarly heroine with a penchant for the sciences in this dazzling and witty tale of Regency London.

A past kiss with adorably bookish Miss Olivia Norley should be barely a memory for Marlowe Drake, the Duke of Thornstock. After all, there are countless debutantes for a handsome rakehell to charm beyond a young lady whose singular passion is chemistry—of the laboratory type. But Thorn has not forgotten—or forgiven—the shocking blackmail scheme sparked by that single kiss, or the damage caused to both their names. Now Thorn’s half-brother, Grey, has hired the brilliant Miss Norley for her scientific expertise in solving a troubling family mystery. And the once-burned Thorn, suspicious of her true motives, vows to follow her every move . . .
 

I don't know, I feel like it has been such a struggle this past month reading. Of course, I love, love Historical Fiction and 'Who wants to Marry a Duke' wasn't terrible. It was just, okay. I found myself skipping pages to get to the end of the story. Normally, I find Historical romances to have so much romance, adventure, mystery,action etc. and the plot just left me wanting more. The romance scenes were great but even the main couple didn't have that great chemistry. I received a few new books for my birthday so I'm hoping they'll be good!
