“An abundance of sharp wit and…romantic chemistry.” —Booklist on Last Duke Standing

Daring. Darling. Determined.

Next to the Season’s newest diamond, Harriet (Hattie) Woodchurch feels like a plain Jane. But that’s of no consequence, since Hattie’s plan for her future is to earn enough to live far, far away from her embarrassing family.

That is until Mateo Vincente, Duke of Santiava and newly minted Viscount Abbott, arrives in London. While the shy European’s spoken English is impeccable, his writing is less fluent. The ton is eager to meet the handsome bachelor, and so many invitations flood in that Mateo needs a correspondence secretary.

With her perfect penmanship and way with words, Hattie is recommended, and the two bond over books and the ton’s eligible ladies. But when Hattie’s friend Flora becomes smitten with the viscount, things get complicated. Flora is tongue-tied in his presence. To help, Hattie feeds her information about Mateo’s interests. Soon things turn around and Flora appears on track to become his duchess. Yet for Mateo, something’s not quite right. Conversation with Flora isn’t as scintillating as it is with Hattie…

It has been some time since I read a regency from Julia London and I half expected something salacious.
Instead, we have a delightful tale of a working class girl (kind of) who captures the attention of a Duke.
Usually I'm out the door in unequal class situations, but honestly they didn't seem that far apart in social structure.
The story develops at a decent pace and the romantic tension is baklava.
i enjoyed it

4.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous historical romance - 4.5 Stars

The Viscount Who Vexed Me is the royally entertaining new historical romance from Julia London that is pure enchantment!

Hattie Woodchurch is well aware that she is far from being a diamond of the first water. However, unlike most of her contemporaries, Hattie has great plans for her future which certainly do not hinge on matrimony. Hattie plans to earn her own living and make enough money in order to live far away and not be dependent on anybody. Nothing and nobody will deter Hattie from her plan – until an unexpected opportunity lands in her lap and makes her wonder whether she had been too hasty in erecting barriers around her heart.

Mateo Vincente, Duke of Santiava and the new Viscount Abbott, has just arrived in London and he immediately makes a splash in society – much to his embarrassment. The Ton is very eager to make his acquaintance and he is quickly inundated with letters and invitations – which cause a problem for the shy aristocrat. While Mateo’s spoken English is flawless, his writing is a completely different proposition. He is in desperate need of somebody to assist him and when Hattie is recommended to him, Mateo is sure that her linguistic dexterity is just what he is in need of, but could she also be in possession of other talents that would make her his perfect duchess?

As Mateo and Hattie bond over books and the bizarre quirks of society, a tentative friendship soon blossoms. However, when Hattie’s friend Flora becomes smitten with the viscount, things get even more complicated. Will Hattie jeopardize her friendship with Flora because of her feelings for Mateo? Is Flora the bride Mateo has been looking for all this time? Or has his happy ending been right under his nose all along?

Julia London’s The Viscount Who Vexed Me is a magical Victorian romance that will melt your heart! Witty, emotional, passionate and wonderfully romantic, The Viscount Who Vexed Me is a captivating tale of forbidden desire, illicit attraction and falling in love when you least expect it with a heroine it is impossible not to root for, a swoon-worthy hero and lashings of humor, charm, drama and sensuality to keep you reading all through the night.

A top-notch historical romance from a very gifted writer, The Viscount Who Vexed Me is another winner by Julia London.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

While this could count as a somewhat Cinderella story, the supporting characters are very different, quirky, and somewhat mean. I was drawn to the hero and heroine immediately and wanted to help them through the bumps they encountered. The happy ending was satisfying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Commoner nabs the most eligible bachelor
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2023
I really enjoyed this story. Hattie needs to work because her father is awful and stingy. She's working as a companion for Flora, who she considers a friend because they went to school together, but she's really kind of a frenemy. They hang out with Queenie who is not really a friend to anyone. While watching Flora and Queenie shop she sees Mateo for the first time. That moment took me back to the time I saw my first love. I felt that right along with her. Mateo is a Duke and a Viscount from a country that speaks Spanish. However, he's fluent when speaking English, not so much trying to read it or write it. So, Hattie becomes his scribe. In the time they spend together they become friends. But they're both starting to feel a lil more than friendly. Mateo is on the hunt for a wife, actually its his mother who's pushing him but, he goes along. She even hired a matchmaker, Lila Lady Aleksander. Lila does her best to put all the best catches of the Ton in front of Mateo but he only has eyes for Hattie.
Hattie is helplessly in love with Mateo. But her family is awful. Awful enough that her first fiance cried off after meeting them. Hattie doesn't see any way that her and Mateo can be together.
Mateo isn't your average Duke and he's determined that he will marry Hattie, or no one, and where there's a will, there's a way.

Hattie felt like she didn't belong in her family, the Duke had similar feelings about his. She was a "no body" but he ruled a country-it would never work.... But as they get to know one another, anything can happen. Great characters and many humorous moments. My husband wondered why I was smiling as I read. Definitely a "feel good" book.
