Sofia tries very hard to be good but she's impulsive, like that time a woman was on fire from a bunch of fireworks that go off suddenly and she runs towards her rather than away. Oliver Duke of Theakstone noticed, so he invites her to come to his house where he's auditioning prospective brides by holding a house party. There she fails to fade into the background and instead he finds himself becoming more and more attracted to her. But will she accept his illegitimate daughter?

I loved Sofia, cranky duke needed to learn more about how to treat other people, though stationing footmen around the place to ensure no accidental strayings was genius!

Fun read, nothing stellar but fun. ( )
