Review: Betting on a Duke’s Heart by Royaline Sing

-


Synopsis

Aetius White, the Duke of Saxton, couldn't save his father, but he'll be damned sure to save his father’s dream. He'll acquire a Triple Crown-winning horse at any cost, even marriage.

Miss Dina Campbell wants a soulmate, and hell will freeze over before she'd marry a horse-mad man who loves horses more than a woman. However, with her father aging quickly and her Indian heritage drawing interest in town, she may not get the say in her future that she’d hoped. Those prize horses belonging to her father are drawing attention from suitors, and time may be over for her to find a love match.

When the two are contracted for an arranged marriage, sparks fly. Only way to settle? A game of challenges where winner gets it all. If only their fiery wills stop clashing and sizzling kisses don't get in the way.

Review

It's such a wonderful historical novel. But then, I suppose I just love diving back in time and read about people's misadventures. Aetius and Dina are great characters and I enjoyed the chemistry between the two. There were a few parts that felt dragged but overall, it's an interesting historical fiction and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Dina is the kind of heroin I love; intelligent and passionate. She is no doormat. Aetius is focused on restoring his family name. But when he meets Dina, things change. At first, the two just want to win, but then it becomes more about love and less about competition. Aetius fights the demons of the past and Dina worries about the future. What will happen when the two realize they are perfect for each other?

Read and find out. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good historical romance with a unique setting and strong characters.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
