I’ve been wanting to read Lenora Bell forever, so I’m really glad I’ve finally gotten the chance to do it. What a Difference a Duke Makes was a really cute, fun, and light-hearted historical with some really beautiful prose, and a very likeable cast of characters. I loved the banter between the mc’s, and I absolutely adored the hero’s two children. With all that being said, this definitely won’t be my last read from this author, because I’m really not kidding when I say her writing was stunning. You know that one Lady Gaga meme where she’s just spouting out positive words? That’s exactly what I was thinking of the whole time reading this book.

So despite the face-value reused plot, Lenora Bell’s writing really saved this story from becoming a complete cliché. It wasn’t very historically accurate, and the book did have its flaws, but I still really enjoyed reading this one. I definitely recommend for an easy and entertaining read, and I can definitely see Lenora Bell becoming a new fave author for me!
