I enjoyed Last Duke Standing by Julia London and as the first book in the series, anyone can pick this up!

The characters were well developed and I couldn't help feeling Justine's pain. She is continually compared to others and in the end, just needs someone to support her as she is. William was great and I loved how they were with each other. His role of keeping an eye on the royal matchmaker definitely was interesting and I thought his letters were one of the best parts of the story as it allowed the reader to get that bit of the story that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise.

I also thought the story flowed well. It was a fairly quick read and I will definitely pick up the next book in the series as I'm curious to see what happens with Justine's sister.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the review copy.
