Review: I'm at a loss on how to describe this book

I read another book by this author last year but couldn't remember it, so I went back and scanned through it againThe Earl's Inconvenient Wife (Regency Collection Book 1). I didn't like it as much as this one as I found the H quite unpleasant for most of the book. He is mentioned here in this book too but now he is obviously in love with his wife and so has redeemed himself.In this book the H has carefully constructed the image of a rake so as to avoid getting married. Through a misunderstanding at a ball, he finds himself betrothed to a rather shy and quiet daughter of a duke. We then discover that the H is the opposite of a rake and actually is a virgin just like the h. It's quite a novel premise and totally unexpected. The h turns out to be very passionate and it's quite funny the way the story develops from there. Unlike the other book the H and h have a good relationship from the night of the wedding, after a disastrous start to their relationship.The H's relationship with the h's father, the Duke, is actually quite funny too.The author has a strange writing style that won't be to everyone's taste. The story isn't gripping or anything but a romance that builds slowly. In spite of everything, I quite liked it.
