Pretty Woman meets the Bridgertons in this witty, vivacious historical take on '90s romcoms by USA Today bestselling author Amalie Howard.

Lord Lysander Blackstone, the stern Duke of Montcroix, has only one interest: increasing his considerable fortune. After a series of betrayals, he keeps his emotions buried deep. Money, after all, can't break a man's heart—or make promises it can’t keep. But when his reputation for being heartless jeopardizes a new business deal, he finds himself seeking a most unusual—and alluring—solution . . .

Once an up-and-coming ballerina, Miss Geneviève Valery is now hopelessly out of work. After refusing to become a wealthy patron's mistress, Nève was promptly shown the door to the streets. When she accidentally saves the life of a handsome duke, she doubts the encounter will go any better than her last brush with nobility. But instead of propositioning her, Montcroix makes Nève an offer she would be a fool to refuse: act as his fake fiancée in exchange for fortune enough to start over.

Only neither is prepared when very real feelings begin to grow between them. They both stand to win . . . but only if they’re willing to risk their hearts.

Liked It!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2022

I love historical romances! This is my first book by this author, and I liked it. The Pretty Woman premise was intriguing. The heroine, Neve, was very compelling - beautiful, talented, and loyal. The hero, Stone, was almost as compelling - aristocratic and successful. They had great chemistry and plenty of sizzle. The storyline was predictable, but the change of scenery and the dialogue kept it fresh, although it drug just a bit in the middle. Overall, a good book, and I look forward to the next one in the series!

two very strong characters

After Neve saves Lysander being robbed, he offers her a job as his fiancé. Sounds silly but it worked and the hot romance between two well defined, interesting characters was a great read.

The out of period cover is puzzling as well as the guest list to a birthday ball.

Passionate, romantic magic!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2022

Always Be My Duchess is a fun, romantic read with passion, depth, and heart. I always enjoy Amalie Howard’s books. Lysander and Genevieve are lovely characters; I was instantly drawn to the couple. Lysander is an extremely wealthy Duke and a highly successful businessman. Lysander is brilliant and has a mental-behavioral disorder. Lysander has difficulty discerning and expressing emotions, among other challenges. People underestimate Lysander and perceive him as cold and stern. Lysander is a fantastic character. Lysander’s favorite novel is Wuthering Heights, something we have in common!

Genevieve is a ballerina down on her luck. Genevieve has integrity, intelligence, and a big heart. Genevieve is feisty and has a temper. She is Lysander’s exact opposite. Genevieve’s passionate nature confuses Lysander and frustrates her. I love Genevieve’s fire; she is Lysander’s opposite but takes effort to try to understand him.

Lysander and Genevieve set the page on fire. The couple’s chemistry is off-the-charts. Lysander and Genevieve’s romantic journey is rocky at best, but I loved going on this exciting path with them. The plot flowed well and was a page-turner. I read this book quickly, not wanting to put it down. The story has elements of the movie “Pretty Woman,” which gives the novel sparkle. Always Be My Duchess is the first book in the Taming Of The Dukes series. I am excited about this series; many secondary characters are introduced, and I can’t wait to read their stories. I eagerly look forward to the next installment! Amalie Howard creates passionate, romantic magic! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book through Netgalley and the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great Read!!!

I really enjoyed this book. However, I guess I am losing my mind, bc I couldn't figure out what the Dukes strange personality is. Other than that I really enjoyed reading the book. Actually there hasn't been any of Ms. Howard's books I haven't enjoyed reading. I looking forward to the next in the series.

For Fans of Bridgerton, this brings the heat

Much like the rest of BookTok, I’m always down for a steamy read, and boy does this deliver. Reminds me a lot of Julia Quinn, but with more of a modern take, less true to the times if you will—in the best way.

Part of what made this such a great read, though, is the way the “girl squad” is set up for their own love stories. I can’t wait to get my hands on another steamy book in what is sure to be an incredible series!

Super fun, easy read with a lovable heroine and interesting hero.
The plot was very light, it would have been better if it had an antagonist, but I really enjoyed it and will read everything Amalie howard writes. Such a fun read.
