This second book certainly revised my opinion of the much-maligned Kate from Woo'd In Haste.  Kate Mansfield appears to the world to be a spoilt, overly-indulged Society chit looking for the best match.  In reality, she is a wounded child, trying to overcome her mistreatment at the hands of her long-dead mother and determined to find a true love match.  Peter Orlon is a duke and Kate's lifelong neighbor from the country estate where they grew up.  Peter knows the real Kate, and agrees to woo her under the premise of supporting his Brother and Viscount Asquith's scheme for winning Kate's sister for the viscount.  Along the way, Kate and Peter fall in love, but Kate must overcome her own insecurity and her memories of Peter's former disdain to let herself accept his marriage proposal.  This was a different take on The Taming of the Shrew.  I really enjoyed getting to know the "real" Kate and I would recommend this story as an enjoyable, quick-witted read.
