Enjoyable Read
This is the first book of have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The period seemed well researched and there were no glaring modernisms or Dukes being incorrectly addressed. The heroine was a delight (feisty, independent, outspoken & over the age of 25) and the Duke was enamoured of her from the very beginning. As they indulged in very heavy petting during the story, I would have liked the hero better if he had abstained from taking her to bed until after their marriage and I did feel he was a hypocrite with regard to Lady Sara's suitor. This book nearly rated 5 stars but dropped a star because I had unanswered questions.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
