Rating: 5 out of 5

Catherine (Cat) is a shrew.  But she's a lovable shrew because she's loving with her family, unfortunately she lets her temper get the best of her too frequently.  Cat's grandmother has left her home and fortune for Cat to receive on her 20th Birthday, but there's a surprise stipulation.  Cat must endure London's "Season" every year until she's married.  Her grandmother wanted to make sure Cat didn't become a recluse and alienate all of her friends and neighbors with her tempestuous behavior. By forcing her to participate in London's Season, Cat must learn to curb her tongue and mind her manners to avoid social ruin and eventually make a match.Many likable characters include Lady Montrose (aka Lady Mouse), Eveline (Cat's companion), and confirmed bachelors Charles Hazelforth and Mr. Sommers.  There is also a bit of intrigue by greedy villains, but I won't give away the plot.  I love the way Cat rescues herself from their evil plan!  I also appreciated some of the vernacular typically found in Georgette Heyer novels (ie: gammon). Overall a delightful story!
