The Unworthy Duke by Charlotte Anne
She’s running from her past; he’s hiding from his.
Miss Ellen Burney doesn’t have a penny to her name. Determined to escape scandal, she flees to London and becomes Miss Smith: spinster and lady’s companion. London offers security in anonymity. So long as Ellen can rein in her overactive imagination and become the perfect picture of propriety.
Calum Callaghan spent ten years in the Royal Navy fighting Napoleon and has the scars to prove it. Now he’s a duke, but all of London thinks he murdered his brother. Heartbroken and battle weary, he’s locked himself away for four long years, a prisoner in his own townhouse.
That is, until Cal’s grandmother comes to stay with him for the London Season, her new lady’s companion in tow. A lady’s companion with a passion for life and love that can hardly be contained by even the most spinsterish of lace caps. She’s fooling nobody, especially not this grumpy duke.

*Spoiler Alert! There might be a few comments in this review that could give away a little (not much) more information than a reader might want to know before actually reading the book. Just be advised! The whole book was such a complete lackluster of a story that I just couldn't give it any stars. My biggest issue with this book was the disrespect the female MC had towards the Duke. Talk about disdain! Then the whole bloody argument between her and the Duke lasted too bleeding long. A reader gets tired of reading the same drivel for two chapters without any relief. The first six chapters were a complete and utter bore. The fact that the book bounces back and forth between London and the town the female MC came from is a bit overdone. It's like two books in one. Also the fact that the book included multiple POVs was just unacceptable. Characters who had very little to do with the story had a POV. The only really enjoyable part is the relationship building between the Dowager Marchioness and the Heroine. There are some pretty hilarious moments and conversation between them that lightens the book up some...some, but not much. There's also the fact that the Heroine is a complete ditz! Everyone around her offered her help, and what did she do but toss them aside with the "I want to be independent" jargon. Most of the secrets are revealed by Chapter 18 so, in my opinion, taking it another 7 chapters was overkill. If it had ended differently, I could accept the additional 7 chapters, but it was such a...drab ending. Just...flat.
