The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 14

Chapter 14 of The First Night With the Duke has readers absolutely *howling* with laughter! 😂 It seems Ripley's desperate, often ridiculous attempts to avoid marrying the Duke continue to be pure comedic gold. From her hilariously slobby acting to lines like "tea green is much better than green tea," fans are loving her consistently failed schemes.

The Duke himself is winning hearts by just accepting all her shenanigans – seriously, he's just "trying to love" despite the "marriage or die" ultimatum! ❤️ While many find this dynamic incredibly funny and call it "comedic gold," some readers are a bit torn, finding the intensity of the situation "toxic" and wondering when the story will "untaxify." However, a crucial comment sheds light on Ripley's past trauma, explaining her deep-seated fear and helping others understand her persistence.

Side characters also shine in Chapter 14! Sylvia gets a shout-out for "carrying this story" with her banter, and Ripley's poor dad's shocked reactions are a consistent source of amusement. Whether you find it hilariously chaotic or a bit much, The First Night With the Duke definitely left readers entertained and buzzing!
