"If...looking for something new with Austens spirit, humor, and dashing heroes, they cant do better than McGregor." - Entertainment Weekly Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives. Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is...problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he? With a textile business to run and a strong friendship forming with Meri's two other wives, Katherine doesn't have time for much else. But there's something about the warm, but compellingly taciturn Christian that draws her to him. When an opportunity to partner in a business venture brings them even closer, they'll have to face their pasts if they want to share each other's hearts and futures.

The prequel short story had such potential. I liked the all of characters here, the writing was good, and MacGregor didn‘t use any weird euphemisms - all pluses to me. Unfortunately, I was bored through almost the entire thing. I kept waiting for something to happen. There was no real sense of urgency, little conflict, and no reason to fear for the HEA. I have a digital ARC of book two. I hope it is more engaging. 😔

With its wild premise, easy-to-root for main characters, fascinating set of secondary characters, easy pace that kept the story moving, and low-angst conflict, A Duke In Time gives Janna MacGregor‘s new The Widow Rules series a promising start. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My full review is on my blog Carpe Diem Chronicles.

This was between a pick/so-so for me. I found the premise original, but the writing was a bit over-the-top and I never connected well with the characters. This is a 1st in series from an author I hadn‘t read.
Katherine discovers that her dead husband was also married to two other women. His half-brother Christian, a war hero and a duke steps in to make amends and of course, love ensues. I think my main issue was an overall “sappiness”. 3/5⭐️

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This regency romance was warm and witty with a feminist viewpoint. I love the way this book made consent and women's rights an integral part of the storyline which supported the romance in an affirming way.
