I gave this book a 4 out of 5
Piercing! Nostalgic! Romantic! The Duke’s Captive by Adele Ashworth brings to life the the power of love. Ian is the raw tortuous soul we all want to save. His character is so dimensional and vulnerable, we want to reach out with both hands. Viola’s love for Ian is piercing and consuming. By far the best historical book I’ve read this year! Ms. Ashworth will have to bring to life Lucas’s world in another delightful book!
