Cute, cute, cute。 Luke and Tabetha’s story is so sweet。 I loved the dialog in this story – it was hilarious。 A duke does a favor for a friend and what happens? He ends up in love。 We all know that friend, or us, who is not good with conversation。 Ramblings but just due to nervousness。 I felt for Tabetha but Luke sees past that and a beautiful relationship begins。I received a complimentary copy from the author。
