I have to say Aubrey and Chance’s story originally written by Penelope award and Vi Keeland is one of my all time favorite books so when I heard we were getting a retelling of it set in historical times I was excited!!! I’ve not read a lot of historical romances so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was blown away with how amazing this was and now I may be hooked on historical romances. I know I’ll read more from this author for sure. The author stayed true to Chance’s cocky yet loving attitude and Aubrey’s sweetness. Great Read!!! ( )

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cocky Duke, by Annabelle Anders, is available at booksellers on May 17, 2020. This story is based on The Cocky Hero series of contemporary romance books. Having never read that series I approached this book with fresh eyes. I thought the plot had great potential, there's a lot that can happen on a journey, especially with strangers. I'm disappointed to say that, for me, it never reached it's true potential. I was iffy on the hero & heroine, they were ok but I didn't grow to like them much at all. The trip to London had it's moments but not enough. Things dragged and it took me awhile to finish, I kept putting it down. The best part for me involved the rescue dog, a dachshund. He's old, smelly, toothless, and perfectly adorable. I'm an Annabelle Anders fan but this just didn't do it for me.
