This was so cute and I had such a great time listening to it! 

The characters have a chance meeting at a party and are both instantly draw to each other but part ways without learning who the other is. A few months later Evie is sent to Ireland for like a charity with horses for her employer and also to inform the Duke (who had a requirement of marriage to inherit his home) she has no plans to marry him…well the Duke turns out to be the guy she had met in the gardens at the party. Evie can’t believe the guys she’s been thinking about is the Duke and Alex can’t believe the girl he’s been thinking about has somehow found herself at his home.

If you like tons of conflict this one probably isn’t for you. The couple did not have many obstacles in the way of them getting together besides his requirements of marrying someone of status, his aunt hounding him about it cause she doesn’t want to lose their home, and Evie’s inner dilemma of she’s there on business not pleasure. Even that didn’t stand in their way, they were completely besotted with each other and really didn’t care if people picked up on the vibes.

They were just so cute together and I loved seeing them enjoying their time together and falling in love. There was also the one bed trope and my oh my was it spicy, they wasted no time once that door was shut.
