Duchess Material by Emily Sullivan

✨ARC Review✨ I positively devoured this historical romance set in 1896 London.
Phoebe, although belonging to a wealthy family, has no notion to be a simple gentlewoman, taking tea with the ladies of her circle. She lives with a fellow schoolteacher in a decidedly not-genteel part of London to be close to the school where she teaches.
One of her students goes missing and Phoebe is desperate to find her. She ends up being taken to the police station for trespassing and calls upon her most affluent family friend for help, the Duke of Ellis. Her childhood friend and irresistible crush, Will Margrave.
Will, of course, comes to her rescue and thus begins his involvement in the investigation of Alice Clarke’s whereabouts and renewing his own interest in Phoebe Atkinson.
I absolutely loved this book. The dynamics between bluestocking do-gooder Phoebe and staid, mind your manners Will is delectable. She helps him remember when he also wanted to do good. What a fun, bantery, intense, slow burn! Highly recommend for any historical romance lover or for those who may not know what historical romance has to offer.
