Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Despite being the illegitimate daughter of a prince, Gillian Dryden is happily ignorant of all social graces. After growing up wild in Italy, Gillian has been ordered home to England to find a suitable husband. And Charles Valentine Penley, the excessively proper, distractingly handsome Duke of Leverton, has agreed to help transform her from a willful tomboy to a blushing debutante. Powerful and sophisticated, Charles can make or break reputations with a well-placed word. But his new protégée, with her habit of hunting bandits and punching earls, is a walking scandal. The ton is aghast . . . but Charles is thoroughly intrigued. Tasked with taking the hoyden in hand, he longs to take her in his arms instead. Can such an outrageous attraction possibly lead to a fairy tale ending?

    I really tried to finish this story but I couldn't bring myself to. I couldn't care for any of the characters nor enjoy the story. I felt like Gillian's ignorance towards society was forced. It was hard to believe her attitude. I wanted to enjoy this one so much since it seemed like something I would enjoy, but I ended up rolling my eyes a lot until I finally gave up on this story.

    I received an eARC from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews.
