I received this book from the author and the I Love Alpha Males group in exchange for a honest review.My thoughts:  This was a wonderful historical romance.  The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the ending seemed kind of rushed.  I think when the heroine finds out the truth the hero should have groveled a little.  All of a sudden the heroine forgives him and everything is fine.  The conversations between the hero and the heroine were hilarious.The Heroine:  I liked how feisty she was.  She never backed down from what she thought was right.The Hero:  He was your typical cold aristocrat.  You could understand from his background why he was that way.  I loved how he was ensnared by the heroine.  He did not know how to deal with it at first.The Story:  Miss Pippa Wilby(heroine) is summoned to her father's study.  When she arrives, a gentleman is there.  It is none other than Lucas Victor Alexander, ninth duke of Arlington.  Last year at the Tisdale Ball, he humiliated her by slighting her in front of everyone.  Unbeknownst to her, he was so besotted by her he just froze up.  So, he walked away before he said something stupid.  He has wanted her ever since.  She is told she is now engaged to him.  He also has brought with him an invitation to their engagement ball.  Needless to say, she is infuriated and refuses him.  She unwittingly issues a challenge to him and he accepts.  He has to convince her to marry him.The rest of the book is a battle of wills between the hero and heroine leading to their HEA.Overall, an enjoyable historical romance filled with witty banter.
