A Duke By Any Other Name, by Grace Burrowes, will be available in booksellers on 4-28-20. Rogues to Riches series book 4, begins with a laugh, and it drew me in at first chuckle. Who knew pigs could make me laugh if they weren't flying or talking. Our hero, Nathaniel, comes across as part Heathcliff and part straight guy in a comedy act. Althea, our heroine, is witty and outspoken which is also her social downfall. The repartee between these two is an homage to classic movies of the 1930's where everyone is slinging fabulous set-downs at each other. I've read a 4 chapter extended preview and it's given me a taste of what a compelling book this will be. I must know what happens when these two get together, bet it's going to be a good journey.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Duke by Any Other Name is the fourth book in the Rogue to Riches series. This has been such a fun series and this book fits right in with the previous books. The books can be read as a standalone, but the series is so good that it’s hard not wanting to read them all! This is just the preview and includes only four chapters, but after reading the preview you will certainly want to finish!
Having read MY ONE AND ONLY DUKE, I am thrilled to see that Quinn's sister is getting her own story. It is an interesting twist that Nathaniel's older brother is still alive, but living in seclusion, leaving everyone to believe that he is dead. Lady Althea already has me in her corner, being lonely and mistreated by society seems so unfair. Having Nathaniel teach her how to beat them at their own game, will be fun to watch. I look forward to the opportunity to see how this story evolves.
Good preview to read, but now I want to read a whole book!!! I love the author, the flare for romance here and good plot. Because this was a preview - This was like eating a delicious pie, but the whip cream was missing...
Any book by Grace Burrowes is enjoyable. This preview was too short but it whets your appetite for more. Ordering the full book for my store - and it will sell!
I volunteered to read this book through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. I read the first book before i read this one because it book in this series talks about different characters. Overall it is a well written book. I did enjoy it. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I am a great fan of anything written by Grace Burrowes and I have yet to ever read any story of hers that I have not liked. I do not believe that she can ever write anything that is not a great story and success. I am looking forward to reading the whole book of A Duke By Any Other Name.
I enjoy everything by Grace Burrowes! I can't wait to read the entire book! I also can't wait to read the next book in the series. due out later this year, apparently to feature the hero's brother and the heroine's sister.
This extended preview gave a nice taste of the entire story.
I received an copy of this book through the publisher via Netgalley. This is my honest review.
A very engaging short preview. This is based on the initial few chapters the preview offered. I look forward to reading the complete book.
I received a complimentary extended preview review copy of #ADukeByAnyOtherName from #NetGalley
This story is set in the past, which already sets the plot up for romance by featuring things like dukes, ladies, horseback riding, fitting into high society, etc. The author sets up the basic plot by introducing the characters and backgrounds, with fun and sometimes humorous dialogue. This novel will likely be an uplifting read.
Another interesting read by Grace Burrowes! Nathaniel Rothmere, Duke of Rothaven is basically a recluse, living like Heathcliff, riding his beautiful horse like thunder, having no visitors, only his long time servants as company, or is there something more mysterious going on? His nearest neighbor is Lady Althea, a sister to a wealthy, vengeful, powerful Duke! Due to her less than elitist background she suffers from the mistreatment that only the snobbish ton can dish out! She requires help from Rothaven, how to behave as if she had been born to title, and not from the worst of London.
I highly recommend! Thank you Netgalley!

“A Duke By Any Other Name *Extended Preview* by Grace Burrowes
This 4-chapter preview was an excellent teaser for sure. I cannot wait for the opportunity to read the rest of this adventure. Yes, I received an ARC of this extended preview via NetGalley.
I was fortunate to receive an extended preview of A Duke by Any Other Name. I truly enjoyed reading it and look forward to the full book. I probably shouldn't have read the preview so early before the book's release date because I am definitely wanting to read more of the story!
There are some humorous bits and fun dialogue. I like how the characters are developing and am thinking they have more in common than they realize. The first few chapters are sprinkled with hints of their past that I want to find out more about.
I will definitely pick up the full copy when it releases April 28, 2020. And in the meantime, I'll pick up more from Grace Burrowes.
A Duke By Any Other Name (extended preview) definitely does what it aims to do - whets the appetite for more! I enjoyed the chemistry and tension between the main characters, Nathaniel & Althea. The glimpses into their backstories are intriguing, as well. I look forward to reading more!
The first four chapters of, A Duke By Any Other Name, certainly left me wanting more. I already have the book in my wish list.
I absolutely can't wait for this! I was able to read an extended preview of the book and it looks as fantastic as I could have hoped it would be.
Classic Grace Burrowes with an interesting Hero and Heroine. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!
