I rated this book 3 of 5 stars.  The book was enjoyable, set in 1800's England. This book featured Alicia Woodley, who considered herself the "poor relation" who didn't deserve much.  Alicia had been pretty much run over by her cruel family, and she yet she still loved them all.  Nicholas Buchanan, the Duke of Dorchester, meets Alicia and decides that she is a challenge he wants to undertake.  He wants to bed her and show her her worth.  Nicholas didn't count on finding himself genuinely caring about Alicia.  Nicholas finds himself not only trying to woo Alicia, but having to protect her and uncover secrets the Woodley's are hiding.The storyline of this book was nice.  It was a pretty fun book to read, and held my interest.  The book was not stellar or fantastic, or particularly memorable.  There were only small issues with the book, mainly (in my opinion) with some of the vernacular.  It seemed that the vernacular would change a bit, from modern to 1800's, it wasn't always consistent.  It wasn't such a big deal, but I did notice it.  I enjoyed the main characters, and the love of animals.  The scene of a stud farm in the 1800's was different, and made for a good story.While the story was not fantastic, it was good.  I enjoyed reading the book, it kept my attention, and I will read more work by this author.
