The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 39

Whew, what a ride for The First Night With the Duke: Chapter 39! Readers are absolutely buzzing, and it seems everyone agrees on two things: Ripley and Zeronis are swoon-worthy, and Rose needs to go! 🔥

The chapter's highlight for many was Ripley's sheer audacity, casually reappearing after being kidnapped like a total badass. 💪 Her reunion with Zeronis had hearts melting, especially the "no, you survived" line and the rare sight of a tearful Duke – "man crying... I love man crying" was a popular sentiment! 😍 Their chemistry is off the charts, with both getting "prettier and handsomer" each chapter.

But the real star of reader rage is undoubtedly Rose. 😡 Commenters are overwhelmingly frustrated, demanding she face serious consequences like jail or even worse. "Die rose diieee" and "GET RID OF THAT THORNY SALTY ROSE" pretty much sum up the collective desire for payback. There's palpable frustration that she's still "walking in the sun" despite her actions. Fans are begging for justice and hoping Ripley won't let her off the hook again, so our beloved leads can finally get married and live in peace! 👰🤵
