This is a story of a wicked stepfather who is planning to auction off his stepdaughter's virginity, for financial gain. The stepdaughter becomes aware of the plan and intends to run away.A lighthearted read, that is very light on detail with regard to the regency period. Perhaps a deliberate ploy, maybe the author is not overly familiar with this time period. Considering the lady's predicament she seemed entirely unconcerned for her safety. The hero Lord Fool that's his nickname attempts to aid her. The authors style does not seem suited to this period, perhaps she might be better writing chick lit. I wasn't entirely convinced with the storyline it seemd a bit OTT, to me. At one point the hero the Duke/Lord Fool, refers to the heroine as honey, I don't believe Dukes during the regency period would have used this endearment to any lady. An okay read if you are not a stickler for accurate detail in your historical romances.
