I enjoyed this book and the fact that they did not just have an easy go of it. A rough ride to a happy ending. ( )

Yes at 30 Rosalind Allen is firmly on the shelf, she concerns herself with trying to ensure that her family is happy, well matched and that those of her half-family with a corrupt guardian who is spending their inheritance. At the moment she has retreated to a house in the country where she's happy, but when one of the other houses is sold to a man who believes that he's entitled to everything around him, including her. Then she meets Leo Boyton who intrigues her and he seems to be interested in her. When she realises that he's really a Duke this almost breaks the relationship, she doesn't think that she's cut out for a relationship with a member of the nobility. He keeps taking choice out of her hands too which bumped this otherwise excellent story down.

I found it an interesting and engaging read with some minor flaws. ( )
