When he lays eyes on Lady Ophelia Astley, mother to one very well behaved daughter, he decides no one but Ophelia will do for his wife. Hugo Wilde, Duke of Lindow, is a single parent with a castle full of eight children, and he needs a wife. This book is a prequel to the Wildes of Lindow Castle series, and I would suggest reading the rest of the series before picking up this book in particular…but in this case, it might not make much of a difference!

It’s the perfect palette cleanser after reading so many dark and dreary fantasies, so if you adore stories with love at first sight tropes, then you’ll definitely want to add this to your TBR list.

Not only do you get a wholesome helping of single parents trying to do right by their children, you also get to see those children pop up to give the story this lovely rosy glow. Her writing is always captivatingly sweet, and I wish this had been a full length novel rather than a novella because I definitely could have kept reading this story. If you’re looking for a sweet, whirlwind of a romance, look no further! My Last Duchess is the perfect prequel to one of my favourite series by Eloisa James.
