David Shaw has just inherited his estranged father's fortune and much less welcome title of viscount. Having been raised in London's slums and filthiest streets, David has no manners to speak of and no prayer of being accepted by society. Not that he much cares, but it matters to his gentlemanly cousin, Richard, who proposes a solution David is even less thrilled with: a comportment teacher.
Miss Rose Higgins has made it her business to know everything there is to know about the ways of London high society and has become a success as a teacher of ladies preparing for the season. But she has no interest in teaching the already infamous new Viscount Shaw, especially not in a house with only him and a minimum of servants. Yet when she hears the exorbitant sum Richard is offering for her help, Rose can't afford to turn him down.
Neither Rose nor David find what each had expected in the other and both are rather shocked by the awareness that almost immediately springs up between them. Over the three weeks of his education, the two develop a connection that goes beyond the physical, but both know anything between them must have a finite end date given the strictures of society keeping them apart.
This was a great quick read with refreshing characters who were brave enough to choose each other. Also, shout out to the heroine for not being utterly ridiculous. I'm loving this little series of short reads.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
