I loved reading the book A Duke Never Forgets (The Duke Hunters Club Book 3) by Bianca Blythe. It is a historical romance that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I loved reading about the characters of Sebastian, the Duke of Sandridge and Genevieve. I love historical romances and this book is a wonderful example of why. It takes you to another time period and in this case throws in romance and a case of amnesia. The situations that occur are at times humorous and at others touching. The story is written in such a way that I found myself feeling like I was right there with the characters. There are secondary characters that have their part to play in the story and I enjoyed reading about them as well. Don’t miss out on a book that will have you swept up in another time and place. I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. I would highly recommend reading it.
