This story kept me in a near constant state of confusion. I gave it 3 stars for plot and writing style, but the characters were terrible. The Duke was insufferable, completely. I found most of what he said insulting and bordering on abusive. The heroine starts the novel off well. She is brave, intelligent, protective, and then loses it all as soon as the hero comes on the scene. Watching her devolve as the story wound on was incredibly painful. We never got to see her set the ton on its ear though she was supposed to do just that. The Aunt wad also changeable depending on the situation. The secondary characters were fine although I dare anyone to show me a nine year old boy with a mouth on him like the young earl. I enjoyed Muir. The plot however was solid and something I had not seen attempted before so props on that. But I detested the Hero entirely and fell out of love with the heroine shortly after they reached London.
