Duchess Material is the story of Phoebe and Will. Growing up together, Phoebe dreamed of Will returning her feelings for him. Then he is unexpectedly thrust into dukedom. Not only does class now divide them, but Phoebe is against everything Will stands for in his new position. Years later, Phoebe is now a teacher and Will remains a duke. When Phoebe is forced to ask Will for help, can they reconnect and see past their assumptions?

Duchess Material is a fast-paced and enjoyable romance. Phoebe has a lot of agency, strong opinions, and a loving family (even though she doesn’t always appreciate their meddling!). Will is very concerned with what it means to be a duke, even when the people in his life care less than he might think. I enjoyed how Will and Phoebe slowly fall for each other as they race to uncover where Phoebe’s student might have gone. Will and Phoebe have some swoon-worthy moments as they unravel the series of clues. Phoebe’s sisters were my favorite side characters and I enjoyed her interactions with her family. Duchess Material is a light-hearted romance perfect for fans of Bridgerton. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
