Review: Bringing Down the Duke

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore is the First book in A League of Extraordinary Women Series. This is the story of Annabelle Archer and Sebastian Devereux.
Annabelle is the daughter of a country vicar who doesn't have many options as a women but she does end up being one of the choose few women to get a place as a student at the University of Oxford. Annabelle does have to support the women's suffrage movement in exchange for such a honored seat. Annabelle has a task to complete for the cause and she has set it on Sebastian Devereux the Duke of Montgomery. If she can get him to support the Married Women’s Property Act of 1870 will help her cause. Sebastian of course doesn't support the causes that Annabelle does which leads to them butting heads. Sebastian thinks of a ideal that may fix his problem but what happens when that backfires and he learns he wants more from Annabelle.
Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from this author.
