My Last Duchess is a book I read a couple weeks ago but just realized that I hadn't done a review for it so here we go here.

I will say that this book, I am not sure I got the full version of to be honest. I read this through Libby but I don't see how I read 400 pages, because it felt like I read a novella...literally. Or I somehow just breezed through 300 pages that I don't remember ( I guess its possible but I am still so confused ....HAHA)

The story of My Last Duchess was actually such a sweet story. It delves into an aspect of the heroine going on the run, because her fiancee is not a man she can actually marry. Our hero is the butler to a foreign residing royal family who is his brother but as he is a bastard, he has no standing or wealth to speak of and even though he is destitute he has a sense of honor. And if he can't find a way to be worthy of Ophelia, then he will have to let her go forever.

I actually found this story to be so endearing and charming, I love these type of forbidden love tropes and seeing characters fight for each other, it makes the ending that much sweeter in them finding a way to conquer the obstacles. This is such a great prequel to the series and eager to see more of the Wildes in the near future.
