With a large following (think like Trekkies and Comic Con, but 1800s), Izzy must don her role as the naive maiden more often than she’d like, but she handles it well, falling into character as needed. Her father made a living from writing fantasy adventure serials with Izzy as the star. Izzy is a twenty-six year old spinster, left penniless after her father’s untimely death, and has given up completely on finding a fairy tale prince of her own. It is that good! Romancing the Duke will sweep you off your feet and give you all the feels. Y’all I turned on the audiobook to start listening, got close to halfway done then switched to reading and finished the book in one sitting. I’m a sucker for all BATB retellings so I was really excited to dive into it. Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare is a historical romance loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. I am so glad this was May’s #COYER book club pick! I’m not sure I would’ve picked it up otherwise.
