And when you are, I shall be here.” said it as though he had nothing to do but languish here, in his underwater lair, waiting for her to wander in and ask him to make love to her. They love each other and support each other and will shove Malcolm in as many fish ponds as needed to make Seraphina feel better. They spend a lot of time together in this novel, and they have no fucks to give. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that Seraphina is amazing and badass, and so are her sisters. Weirdly, despite not liking the hero, I still liked the book. Even though The Day of the Duchess is really just a prolonged grovel by Malcolm (and he needs to grovel, ya’ll) I still didn’t like him at the end. I was really excited for this story which promised to be a super angsty reconciliation story–which it is–but I found that I could never forgive the hero. That said, this is also the weakest book. Now, you don’t need to read the other books to read this one, but I do think the series works really well in order. Malcolm was the one who got knocked ass-over-teakettle into a fish pond in The Rogue Not Taken and launched the whole series with his soggy duke-pants. Theme: Forced Proximity (stranded, safehouse, etc), Second Chanceįor those following Sarah MacLean’s Scandal and Scoundrel series, The Day of the Duchess is finally Seraphina and Malcolm, Duke of Haven’s, story.
