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.

About the author
Sweet and romantic story!
Always Be My Duchess is the first novel in the Taming of the Dukes series by Amalie Howard. As a bestselling writer Amalie Howard creates main characters with compelling back stories that enthrall readers and draw them into the plot. There is a lot of chemistry between the protagonists in Always Be My Duchess which will leave romance fans with a smile on their face as they enjoy delightful banter and heart-grabbing romantic scenes. Synopsis: Genevieve Valery is an extremely talented professional ballerina. She is searching for a job after she was blacklisted from performing in her dance company for refusing to become the mistress of a powerful man. In a chance encounter, Genevieve meets the Duke of Montcroix, Lysander Blackstone. Lysander offers Genevieve employment as his fake fiancé with no strings attached. This business agreement appears to be the most suitable solution for both parties. Lysander is not interested in getting married, but he is constantly harassed by socialites. A fake engagement would relieve Lysander from the stress caused by his colleagues and advance his business interests. Genevieve is in financial difficulty and the monetary gain from acting out this ruse would enable her to pursue her professional career as a dancer. Lysander and Genevieve are both strong willed passionate individuals. Can a fake romance work for them? Always Be My Duchess is a hysterical story with unexpected twists and turns. Readers will quickly flip through the pages of this sweet story excited to find out what happens next. I recommend this heartwarming book, however it does contain some fairly graphic sexual content so check the trigger warnings. Always Be My Duchess is available on July 12th. Thank you, NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for allowing me to review this lovely book by Amalie Howard. Your kindness is appreciated!
