Review of The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

 

 I don't know why I found The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare adorable.  It had a standard mix and match plot for a Regency romance:  A duke who is self-conscious about facial scars he received in the Napoleonic wars falls for a seamstress with a heart of gold.  And yet, from the again standard opening of heroine Emma barging into hero Ash's study, to Emma's making a ridiculously quirky group of friends, to Ash's valet purposefully hurling cricket balls at him, to the very standard happily ever after, this book made me smile.
