Last Duke Standing Author: Julia London Reviewer: Jen Rating: B/B- What I’m Talking About: Okay, I’m just going to say this upfront – there was no duke, so I’m not certain why this book is called Last Duke Standing. I mean, main character William is heir to a dukedom, but he’s not a duke and to […]
