How to Marry a Duke ( how to book 1)

by Vicky Dreiling.

This is a new historical romance author and this is the first in a series it seems. This one follows a Duke (Tristan) who needs to marry (to beget an heir) and a self proclaimed match maker (Tessa). Tessa and Tristan meet at a ball and the Duke later asks Tessa to become his matchmaker. She decides to do a little match making a' la The Bachelor and invites 24 young women (much to the Duke's horror) to her place to meet the Duke and find out about the 'competition'.

Of course throughout Tristan and Tessa fall in love (although he doesn't want to marry for love and she won't marry without love of course). I found the book interesting, I liked the characters a lot. The competition part was okay, didn't really add much to the story like I was hoping (some humor maybe?), but in general I enjoyed the book and always looked forward to listening to it. It was kind of an easy historical romance with the 'will they/won't they' get together element of course.
