I liked this book well enough. It's a romance where both parties have viewed to never fall in love so..... You know what will happen.

I appreciated Beatrice's sound mind. She was a great advocate for women's rights that didn't change once she entered into her marriage of convenience with the Duke. She was always a voice of reason to Will.

William has sworn off love after he felt his mother abandoned him and his brothers. But the story unfolds as to why she couldn't see her sons after leaving. But this skewed his perception of what love could be. He was a bit stubborn in actually admitting to himself that he loves her and it was a bit annoying but once he got there.... He declared it in a sweet way.
