Regency romance novels with so many animals and so many badly behaved animals at that! I’m trying to understand why because Sir Bartholomew and Percival were incredible!

Book Review: The Duchess Games by Alyxandra Harvey

I’m so happy to have been introduced to this author! The book was fun, fast-paced, and all the characters were likable! While we can sort of tell who the next book will be about, I honestly won’t say no to reading a part two with any of the other characters.

The Duchess Game by Alyxandra Harvey is the first book in The Dainty Devils series. It’s a short read at 243 pages and will be published by Dragonblade Publishing on the 30th of June, 2023. While the book is available on Kindle Unlimited, the e-book is available for preorder for the bargain of $0.99, which means it’s basically free!

The chemistry between Callum and Cat was electric and kept me hooked from the start. I enjoyed their tension-filled encounters, filled with witty banter and hidden desires. The author did a fantastic job of building their relationship.

You don’t get a lot of Regency romance novels with so many animals and so many badly behaved animals at that! I’m trying to understand why because Sir Bartholomew and Percival were incredible! Or maybe that’s because I like pets with a lot of personality i.e. will keep you in line!

Shoutout to my parrot, who bit all of us, and the dog. Mithoo, you will always be missed!

I wish we had more details on Callum and Cat from when they were younger; that would have added a lot to the book. And I would have liked to know more about Cat and Viola’s family. They don’t exactly speak like their father was a fisherman and adding something about their family would have helped me really get into the book!

Even then, I leave this book with 4 stars and a promise to keep an eye out for the books in this series!

Blurb for The Duchess Games

Sometimes you have to break the rules to find your happily ever after.

The stern and proper Callum Winter, Duke of Tremaine, must marry. At least according to his mother.

Enter: The Duchess Games where ladies are invited to display their accomplishments in dancing, music and all social graces.

Caitriona Sparrow just wants to steal the duke’s signet ring to get her smuggling operation running and save the village from ruin. Options are scarce for a thirty-one-year-old spinster, her two younger siblings, four dogs, a cranky goat, and a one-eyed fox.

She might not have any pretty accomplishments, but she can sing sea shanties and debone a haddock in minutes. But between pianofortes and watercolors, Caitriona is shocked to discover that Callum remembers her from that passionate summer long ago and she has never forgotten him.

Cat might not be duchess material-but she’s the perfect woman to save Callum…and their happily ever after.

The only problem is that she has to betray him first.
