Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Dunmore's beautifully written debut perfectly balances history, sexual tension, romantic yearning, and the constant struggle smart women have in finding and maintaining their places and voices in life and love, with the added message that finding the right person brings true happiness and being with them is worth any price. A brilliant debut

Bookish

A charming twist to a classic romance plot . . . there is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth

Full of witty banter, rich historical detail, and a fantastic group of female friends, the first installment in Dunmore's League of Extraordinary Women series starts with fireworks as Annabelle and Montgomery try to find a path to happiness despite past mistakes and their vastly different places in society. Dunmore's strong debut is sure to earn her legions of fans

Booklist (starred review)

What an absolutely stunning, riveting, painfully gorgeous book! It's going straight to my keeper shelf, and I will be buying a copy the moment it comes out to reread again and again. It's not only the best historical romance I've read in a long, long time, it's one of the best books I've ever read! I adored it!

Megan Crane, USA Today bestselling author of Sniper's Pride

With just the right blend of history and romance (and a healthy dash pride from the British suffragists that would make Jane Austen proud), I was hooked on Annabelle and Sebastian's story from the very first page. I can't wait for the rest of League of Extraordinary Women novels!

Stephanie Thornton, USA Today bestselling author of American Princess

Evie Dunmore's debut novel Bringing Down the Duke is about personal growth, leaving preconceived notions behind and the long hard fight for women's rights. The novel is hilarious in many parts, but it also provides more serious lessons for the reader. Best of all it has a Happily Ever After

Historical Novel Society

Evie Dunmore has written a story we need right now-strong, smart, and passionate, featuring a heroine who won't settle for less than what she deserves and a swoony hero who learns to fight for what really matters. With her debut novel, Dunmore has instantly become a must-read for me

Lyssa Kay Adams, author of The Bromance Book Club

A deliciously original debut featuring a fiercely passionate suffragette who melts an icy duke's heart. Set against the backdrop of the fight for women's rights, Bringing Down the Duke is the perfect blend of romance and history
