Christabella Winter may just be the wildest of her scandalous siblings. She longs for romance and hopes to marry an experienced, charming rake. That makes her growing attraction to the shy Duke of Coventry a bit of a bother, especially when he can hardly deign to speak to her.
Gill Rawdon, the Duke of Coventry, has never even kissed a woman, much less charmed one with smooth words. But he's inherited his wastrel father's estates, along with his massive debts, so Gill is in need of a wealthy wife and soon. He'd prefer a sweet wife who's as reserved as he is, certainly nothing like the bold Christabella Winter.
When Christabella finds out the duke has never been kissed, she decides they should practice together. She can get rid of her pesky attraction to him and prepare herself for the rake she hopes to marry and she can teach Gill how to woo a lady. But as they spend more time together, Christabella begins to have difficulty picturing Gill with another lady or herself with another man as the feelings between them grow, though Gill's shyness may prevent them from moving forward together.
I really enjoyed this one. Gill was lovely as a shy and rather tortured hero who is far more complex than anyone suspects. Christabella did get on my nerves a bit with her insistence on a rake and her romanticism of what a rake actually is, but she eventually, thankfully, came to her senses. I loved that she helped Gill see his own worth and I think that's what truly made this story for me. Both Gill and Christabella matured and developed quite a bit in a short time and I thought that was great.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
