Joy to the Duke by Darcy Burke

4.0

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Many thanks to the author for this opportunity.

Joy To The Duke, by Darcy Burke, became available at booksellers in November of 2019. Joy is the third and last book in the Love Is All Around series. Three members of one family and how they got to their HEA's. I've enjoyed the entire series but Joy may be my favorite. The way Ms Burke has woven A Christmas Carol into our heros story worked very, very, well.

Calder Stafford, the Duke of Hartwell, is a mean, miserly man. Heart of ice, doesn't care about anything or anyone, except his dog. He's become awful after his Father ran off his first, and only love. Dad was a piece of work, a bad piece. Calder has acted ugly to his sisters & later makes amends, thank goodness. His scrooge moments are great.

Felicity Templeton Garland is the one that got away. A decade ago she got a curt, nasty letter from Calder, but really his dad. Her family left town, dad paid off her dad to go. It's all a mess, but they never stopped loving each other. She's one determined lady. I'm glad that all worked out well for everyone.
