Samantha Whiley

I loved the idea of this book and the cover really drew me in. Straight away I loved the characters, what’s not to love about a Duke and a writer! And the little doggie, aww so cute. It pulled me in straight away. I was invested from the second the time travel happened! I knew I was going to love this one and the plot lines from just a few chapters in. Plot The plot is everything. You have parts pulling your heart strings in all different directions and that keeps you invested and hoping that everything will work out. I loved the adventure that Isabella and Benjamin went on and how he discovers how much has changed in the future. The dual pov really adds a lot of feelings into the mix. Characters I love the characters! Isabella is the most kind, compassionate person, who does everything in her power to help Ben remember everything while he discovers the future world. Ben is such a gentleman and I loved that he remained just as gentlemanly throughout the story. Duke is a cutie, that I adored when he was mentioned. Who knew a little doggie could steal the show! Recommend If you’re a lover of romance, with an aspect of historical and time travel… pick this up! Favourite Quotes “It’s kind of hard to be when your heart is being held together with glue and tape.” “Are you telling me you’re a two hundred – year – old duke?” “She is the gentleness in all my chaos.” “Hmm, like Anthony Bridgerton in the series.” Favourite Chapter/s My favourite chapters were 5, 10, 11, 14, 16, 19 and 25…. Yep there was a few. Summed up in one sentence The perfect mix of time difference and love.

4/5 Spiciness Level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Falling On A Duke is a Time-Travel Romantasy with dual POV. The MMC is Benjamin Gerard Waldorf, the Duke of Waldorf. The FMC is Isabella Souza Kato, a Brazilian writer living in London. Ok, I absolutely adore this book! It is the sweetest story I have read in a long time. It’s not too long, so much angst, and when the spice kicks in… it kicks in hard. I love these two characters together!! They have a well deserved HEA. Ben is a Duke from 19th century England. After enduring two great losses in his family, he has now inherited the title of Duke of Waldorf. His sister Abigail is the only family he has left and they are both suffering greatly from the loss of their father and brother. Ben never expected to be the Duke as he was not the oldest son. He gave up the life of a rake to be responsible as the Duke and to take care of his sister. In a moment of frustration, he wishes for a break at the same time he is picking up his desk. When he picks up the pendant his grandmother gave him…. Well he ends up in the year 2022 and literally runs into Bella being knocked unconscious. Bella is a romance writer with writers block. She recently endured a bad breakup and isn’t quite over it yet. Her family is spread out all over the world, so she lives in London with her roommate and her dog… Duke, AKA Your Grace. She is an endearing FMC and very much a romantic at heart. When Bella decides to leave the house to try and gain inspiration to write, she never imagines when she rents a scooter that she would run straight into someone knocking him unconscious. Feeling responsible for this strangely dressed man with his blatant confusion of who he is, where he is, and what year it is (or so she thinks) she brings him home with her. The connection is rather immediate between the two. However, the feelings are slow to grow… a true slow-burn. This book is such a wonderful read. I fully recommend this book! The author is actually Brazilian and there are parallels to the story and her real life which is super cool to read about at the end in the About The Author section! Read this book as an ARC via NetGalley. Thank you NetGalley! Happy Reading! 🥰

A wonderful read! This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend! Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I really like time travel romances so I had high hopes for this and Falling on a Duke definitely didn’t let me down. This was very cute and very romantic. Some of the out of time elements were a little wonky but I was really rooting for these two. I loved the FMC the most. Anyone who likes regency era stuff or wants to self insert into their own Pride & Prejudice fantasy will definitely enjoy this.
