My review
4/5 Stars
The main character, Matthew Hargreve, enjoys his life as a rich, eligible bachelor and has no intentions of changing his lifestyle until he meets a girl by the name of Tess at one of his parties. Coming from poverty and pushed by her brother to seek out the Duke, Tess’ intentions for Matthew are questionable.
This was a strongly written book in the second half of the piece but at first, I had a bit of trouble getting into it. The descriptions throughout the book, however, were wonderful and were written in such a way that it made it easy to picture the scenery. It’s clear the author did her research and crafted strong characters that fit the time.
