I enjoyed this book. I like how it started off with honesty, they all knew that the Duke was escorting her through a wager. There were no secrets! One thing that annoys we about some romance novels is the dishonesty of some of the characters. These sort of stories cause too much unwanted and unnecessary friction between the two main characters and it does take the enjoyment from the story. This story however I'm please to say was not like this. The Duke was honest and forthright and the heroine was not silly. I liked how the Duke was sometimes unsure of himself in her company, it really 'humanised' him, he wasn't 'stuffy' like a lot of Dukes tend to be.Her sister annoyed me though, stuck up thing she was, all she was interested in was appearance and popularity, very selfish, and the way she treated her sister! How they were born in the same family was beyond me!There was a villain too of course to liven things up. The only thing that was missing was enough romance. There wasn't a whole lot, there was mostly just the looks that were cast to each other between the two main characters and they did have some really good conversations, however these were enough to keep it interesting.
