The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 26

Whew, The First Night With the Duke Chapter 26 really got readers buzzing! This chapter dropped some bombshells and left many scratching their heads, mostly thanks to our dear Ripley.

The main topic of discussion? Ripley's incredibly forgiving nature towards Rose. After what many considered attempted murder, readers were absolutely "flabbergasted, discombobulated, dumbstruck" that Ripley only asked for a sincere apology. 🤯 Comments ranged from "BEAT HER UP!" to "Girl you are hopeless" and "WHY ARE YOU BEING TOO KIND TO YOUR ALMOST MURDERER?!" Many wished she'd asked the Duke to punish Rose, or at least whipped her 50 times! While a few considered Rose's potential circumstances, the overwhelming sentiment was "no redemption for this bitch."

But it wasn't all outrage! On the flip side, readers were absolutely loving the blossoming intimacy between Ripley and the Duke. 🥰 The "hot and heavy" moments and the Duke's beautiful smile were definite highlights. There was even excitement that the author isn't shy of "physical intimacy"! Some are already wondering what's next for The First Night With the Duke if our main couple is already so happy in Chapter 26!
