As days go by, though, they start discovering each other, in spite of the fact that they realize that they can't have any sort of relationship since it is forbidden. In any way they look at it, it will be a losing game. Will they fight for their newfound love, or will they take the easy way out? find out in this book The Duchess Takes it All by Michelle McLean

I like the manner in which the author has brought out the friendship between Tansim and her friends, also the friendship between Christian and  Frederick It has taken the story to another level. Additionally, I love the love-hate relationship between Lord Bainbridge and the Duke; it is quite hilarious. The theme of the book fits impeccably.

I found some gaps in between chapters, which is likely to leave readers hanging,  and that is what I disliked about the book.

I rate this book, The Duchess Takes it All, by Michelle McLean, 4 out of 5 stars.

I recommend it to readers who love historical fiction books. I also recommend it to those who have ever sacrificed for love. The author has shed light on how being titled is not always a blessing like most of us think, although the rewards are enormous, the responsibility and sacrifice are extremely high.
