My Duty to You (The Austen Generation)

Alyssa Martin is a new to me author and now has a reader for life! I'm not a big reader of historical or current romance novels, but this book was sensational! I couldn't put it down!

"My Duty to You" is a delightful and captivating historical romance novel set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.

The story follows Aiden Elliot, a hardworking second son who suddenly becomes the heir to the Northumberland Dukedom after the death of his older brother. Faced with the responsibility of marriage, Aiden's path crosses with Lynette Elphinstone, a spirited young woman who dreams of marrying for love rather than for duty.

Alyssa skillfully intertwines the themes of love, duty and societal expectations, creating a compelling story that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. Aiden and Lynette's relationship evolves throughout the book, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

The historical setting is clearly depicted, and the Alyssa's attention to detail paints a rich picture of the era. Alyssa's words transport readers back in time, immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, and customs of the period.

This book left me yearning for more of Lynette and Aiden, I didn't want it to end! I can't for book 2!
