And HIS treatment of her was entirely dashing.Įven though you have an IDEA of where the plot is going, Burke keeps you on your toes and you’ll need to read to the very end. Sadly, some of them treat Juno badly, but I felt that this only reinforced how lovely the hero is: he did NOT stand for that. From Lady Cosford, the upbeat hostess, to the duke’s mother (who secretly wants him to find twue love) to the MCs themselves. There’s a great cast of characters in this one. And God, was that satisfying! Because it turns out that he’s actually a decent person underneath, someone who is DESERVING of a lovely wife like Juno. Little by little, you see Warrington crack. This is one of those ones where the duke SHOULD end up with the perfect bride (Marina, Juno’s charge), but you slowly realize that he’s so much better with someone who is his opposite. Juno Langton with a passion, probably because she is sunny and cheerful, but she’s determined to break his shell. The Duke of Warrington hates socializing and definitely doesn’t want to waste time with the Marriage Mart, so he’s struggling to find a wife. But when her newest pupil is an attendee at a house party where she hopes to be matched with a grouchy and rigid duke, she realizes she’s jumped into a whole new ballgame. Juno Langton is a refinement tutor who never fails at her job. While I’ve read just about every regency trope out there (and then again and again – there are only so many tropes in 19th century London), this was actually something NEW.
