Lady Lavinia’s interests might be considered singular or even peculiar but she’s always prided herself on them. She desires marriage but only to a man who will understand where her interests lie and even support her. But her plans are thwarted when the Duke Of Seduction pens a letter singing her praises forcing the focus of eligible suitors on her.

William Beckett might be seen as a rake but in his heart he is a romantic through and through. He endeavors to help the ladies on the Marriage Mart with the purest of intentions. But apparently his intentions didn’t matter to Lady Lavinia who seems to be furious with the Duke and plans on calling him out.

I absolutely adore this story. I love how refreshing the characters were, where the Lavinia was the scientist and William the poet. It was so amazing to see a woman’s quest for knowledge and a man just being content with his poems and music.

Lavinia is quite possibly my favourite Lady ever. She is smart as a whip and such a flirt, I loved every bit of her point of view. I admire her thirst of knowledge and not giving up on her hopes and dreams. Also, my girl can bring a man to his knees. WHAT A QUEEN!!!

William is such an enigma. His decent into love was such a delight to watch. His poetic heart made me swoon. There’s just something about the poet that makes your heart spitter spatter and William did all of that for me. He feels everything so deeply and it was such a joy to read a character who recognizes that.

I wish there was more of these two falling in love than just realizing it but I still love this story a lot.

4 Stars!
