This book took me by surprise... I'm not normally a fan of the over-starched stuck up H and a h so obstinate it's irritating. In this case, I liked it. I loved the hero, he is just so... starched. The heroine was fun, but sometimes she got a little irritating with her childlike behavior. I was also really not a fan of the authors description of her, we are constantly reminded that she is not pretty, her sister Alice is drop dead gorgeous, she's heavier than average, etc. I just felt like the Duke's disparaging thoughts about her person, even if they weren't meant to be disparaging, got old. Call me old fashioned, but I like my H to find his h beautiful, no matter whether she is by the standard or not. He seemed to not really find her beautiful and was really only interested in her "voluptuous bosom." Other than that, this is a cute story and it was a fun distraction.
