The Duke Gets Desperate by Diana Quincy
2.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I decided to pick this up because the author is Palestinian, which is why I’m so sad to say that I didn’t really enjoy this 😔 The connection and chemistry between the heroine and MMC felt very lacklustre to me. 

What was really cool is that the FMC is an Arab/American from a merchant family with a keen sense for business. I liked her drive and wanted her ventures to succeed, but apart from that I didn’t really care about the characters 🤷🏻‍♀️ also, the spicy scenes were so awkwardly written 🫣 I listened to the audiobook and the narration didn’t make it any better… Both narrators had such a stilted way of speaking when they got to those scenes, not sexy at all 😂😬

This was just my opinion of this book, I had honestly hoped I would like it more. Lets keep supporting Palestinian authors! 🇵🇸 

Was there any chemistry?

Was the spice any good?
