How to Catch a Duke (Rogues to Riches #6). By Grace Burrowes. 2021. Forever (ARC eBook).
Throughout the series Stephen Wentworth has been an enigma and so it only seemed fitting that the opening of How to Catch a Duke began with a request for Stephen to disappear a Miss Abigail Abbott. A request made by the inquiry agent herself. Being intrigued by Abigail, the last thing Stephen wants is to hide her away, so a fake engagement that will allow his family to extend protection to her is the way to go. And perhaps the engagement will never end.
Overall, this was my least favorite of the Rogues to Riches series; and of the other books I’ve read from this author, actually. I could see how intellectually the two could challenge each other, but I just never bought in to there being any chemistry between them; and their was a lot going on in the “romance” department, past and present, that detracted and seemed more of a “shock and awe” and “bandwagon” disservice rather then aid the plot. Stephen and Abigail, who I previously thought as proven clever, seemed to fall more on the boring and ludicrous side throughout this story. After the last two books featuring the Rothaven brothers, I was missing them and Stephen’s sisters, Althea and Constance. But there was some closure with Stephen’s relationship with his oldest brother, Quinn. And it was nice to see Stephen, as a Wentworth, get his happily ever after.
