Duchess Material is an enjoyable historical with an idealistic schoolteacher and a Duke whose inherited title weighs heavy on his shoulders. There is quite a bit of sneaking around investigating disappearances and deaths while two people obviously drawn to each other learn what they want not only in love but in their lives.

I had fun with this story but did find it dragged at a few points. I’m looking forward to Alex’s book. She sparked my interest.

Thank you to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for the advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
