Wildest of the Wildes!
Say No to the Duke (The Wildes of Lindow Castle #4) by Eloisa James
Those Wildes! I just adore them and their very human, very idiosyncratic behaviour.
This time add in Lord Jeremy Roden, stalwart damaged warrior with wonderful sense of humor and so real.
I adored this story of young woman who resolved early on never to display the passion her mother had.
From her early days at school Lady Boadicea 'Betsy' Wilde had learned that society was very unforgiving for the daughter of a woman who'd borne children to different men and run off to Prussia with her lover. After all 'blood would out". Betsy determined to be above reproach, even as she squashed the frightening passionate and excitable side of her nature. Lady Betsy would give society nothing to gossip about. She would be an example of all that the ton required of a young woman.
Hence a path strewn with marriage refusals as Betsy battled her internal demons.
Only Jeremy, the damaged hero warrior really saw her, and what a difference that "seeing" would make.
A game of billiards, a wager' and a pair of breeches leads to a night to remember before Betsy finally accepts a duke's proposal, before she crowns her season with success! After all this was what Betsy wanted, and she would never say no to a Duke, even as Jeremy intrigued!
