Book Review: Least Likely to Win a Duke (The Wallflower Academy #1) by Emily E.K. Murdoch

 

Blurb

A sparky and witty Harlequin Historical debut

A most unlikely match

For a most unlikely wallflower!

Miss Pike’s finishing school might be designed to find the most unconventional of debutantes a husband, but Gwendoline Knox didn’t expect to 
literally bump into a duke on her first day! Let alone one as distractingly charming as Percy Deveraux. Gwen knows nothing can come of their flirtations, not with their different stations—or her scandalous secret! Still, she can’t help wishing for more, even if that means confronting her past… 

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

Having an Academy for Wallflowers was very entertaining. Gwen had past that she was hiding from. Percy was a reluctant duke. Their worlds collided, and things spiraled from there. Gwen was spirited, and Percy was trying to live up to his brother's ideals. There were some steamy moments as well as a few tearful moments. When secrets and truths came out, love won the day. I enjoyed the supporting characters and look forward to the next in the series. One downside, I felt that some of the situations were a bit forced or dragged out, but overall, a good story.

I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
