The Good the Bad and the Duke The Cavensham Heiresses Janna MacGregor 9781250295972 Books

I was surprised at how difficult it was for me to get through this. I’ve read the first three books in the series and loved them, although they are a bit too “damsel in distress/heroine makes terrible decisions & man saves her” than I like, but they are well written and the characters are sympathetic and the plots solid.

This, though, was terrible. The writing was so basic I almost wondered if it was ghost written. The metaphors were simplistic. The plot muddled. I was half way confused for the first 70% and very nearly gave up because I sort of hated both Daphne and Paul. I thought the plot, as thin as it was, was absurd, and the writing simplistic and garbled. I’m still not sure if it was worth it to finish.

There is a plot twist at the end that comes out of the blue that seemed overly wrought and kind of dumb. The author could have done so much more with the lost journal and that drama, instead she chose to bring in this random twist that just seemed a bit too Days of Our Lives.

Additionally, I think I’m just bored to tears with the hero who has emotional issues because of his bad dad. It seems like half of them end up being because of the exact same reason as was what ended up being the reason for Paul’s daddy issues.

Anyway, I do hope the next book is better. I was so looking forward to this and was very disappointed.

The Good the Bad and the Duke The Cavensham Heiresses Janna MacGregor 9781250295972 Books Reviews

Good story from MacGregor. Liked the characters and the storyline of this book. Looking forward to reading the next installment.
I love the story and continuing saga of this group of people.
I highly recommend the series to you. This story can stand alone but reading the others will give you be more fulfilling.
Fell in love with Paul and Daphne. Beautifully written by this very talented author, each in this series leaves you wanting more of her wonderful stories and amazing characters.
I think Paul has one of the hardest road to a HEA I’ve ever read. Everything he lived through as a boy made him rebellious. Now as a man you has inherited the title of Duke, he wants to be better. Sometimes he feels like it’s too late. But Daphne has always known the man he is deep in his heart. Since she was a child, he has been in her heart. While Daphne has battles of her own to fight, together they find happiness and love.
Lord Paul Barstowe and Lady Daphne Hallworth have been friends since childhood. Paul was her brother’s Alex’s best friend until a woman drew them apart.

Now they’re not permitted to acknowledge each other. After her sister’s death, Daphne tries so hard to be perfect - hence she keeps a diary.

When she is accidentally left home during the holiday, she decides to walk in the park where her diary is stolen. She must get it back since it holds family and personal secrets.

Paul comes to her rescue when she tries chasing the thief. He will help her to get her diary back, if she promises to help him to reconnect with her brother.

When things are beginning to look up for Paul, a big secret comes out which he knows will cost him Daphne.

What a wonderful book/storyline. I loved the banter and sizzling attraction between Daphne and Paul. I highly recommend this book.
The Good, the Bad, and the Duke was a wonderful read featuring a forbidden romance, a stolen diary, and the chance of forgiveness for our hero.

Lady Daphne Hallworth is ready for the Christmas season with her family, but when she’s inadvertently left behind, she decides to use the time to work on her home for unwed mothers. One day on her was to see her solicitor, her personal diary, containing information that could ruin her, is stolen. Then she finds out the property she bid on for her charity has a higher bid from her brother’s former best friend, Paul Barstowe, Duke of Southart. Daphne decides to strike a bargain with the man to help retrieve her diary and gain the property she seeks. In return, Daphne will help Paul fix his relationship with her family. Neither of them counted on the swift attraction between them which ups the stakes to accomplish their goals.

Following the death of her sister Daphne has strived to be the perfect daughter but as a result she became invisible, both in society and within her own family. Daphne has things she wants out of life and after receiving an inheritance she’s able to make one of those dreams, a home for unwed mothers, a reality. I admired Daphne’s determination to make her charity succeed and that she refused to give up despite the resistance to her plans.

I have to admit I was surprised that Paul was the hero in this installment as I wasn’t sure he could be redeemed after his behavior in earlier books. I’m happy that I was wrong and that we got to learn more of Paul’s history which offered insight into his earlier behavior. Paul was never shown any love by his father and the animosity in their relationship led to Paul acting out which was one of the only ways his father paid any attention to him.

Daphne and Paul’s relationship isn’t easily won due to the animosity Daphne’s family, in particular her brother and step-brother, feels for Paul. Before Daphne’s family return after leaving her behind for Christmas, their relationship is a lot smoother as there’s no one trying to push their way in. I liked the rapport that developed between them in those days and enjoyed their opening up to one another. The physical progression of their relationship was well done and the two had amazing chemistry. The physical scenes were perfectly steamy with just the right frequency throughout the book.

The plot centered around recovering Daphne’s diary was interesting and I found myself eager to learn if the pair would find the diary before the contents were made public. I really enjoyed how this plot point was wrapped up even if there was a bit of unbelievability to some aspects of it. The mending of Paul’s relationship with Pembrooke and Somerton was well done and I liked that it wasn’t easily accomplished. Couples from the prior books returned and I was happy to see the characters again as I love getting glimpses of couples after their happily ever afters.

The Good, the Bad, and the Duke ended up being a very enjoyable read and is a solid addition to the series. I’m looking forward to the fifth book’s release next year and would definitely recommend this series for anyone looking for a new historical romance series to pick up.
I love this book series and I hope there will be more books. The story is about Lady Daphne Hallworth can't wait to celebrate the holiday but her family accidentally leaves her home alone. So Daphne uses the time to work on her dream of opening a home for unwed mothers. She is trying to purchase a house but her brother’s best friend-turned-enemy, Paul Barstowe, Duke of Southart wants the house too. Also, he stole her diary, which has family secrets in it as well. Paul aims to open a hospital to honor his brother and restore his reputation. So they both make a deal, he will help her find her diary if Daphne can change her family’s opinion of him. I very much enjoyed this book.
