More of a 3.5.  Good book but didn't flow well, in my opinion.  I liked the premise - dastardly guy, Augustus, is unable to marry Willa because his father disapproves so destroys her reputation so that no one else will want her.  Somehow he will come back and claim her as his own.  But Willa doesn't care because she wants more in life than to be a wife stifled by society.  Then a hunky guy, the Duke, comes along and falls in love with her despite her sullied reputation.  Lots of family stuff going on with secondary characters. Sort of a love triangle but not really because the dastardly guy is really a slime.  Not a lot of detail about the environment in which the characters live which I found odd since this is a historical.  Really liked Willa.  Strong woman - nicely developed character.
