This was such a good book! I liked the women's suffrage angle, and persuading a Duke to think about women not as property. The back and forth banter between Sebastian and Annabelle was really good. Him starting off as this cold, analytical Duke with no interest to growing a soft spot for her outspoken truths was swoon worthy.

The ending was GOOD! For once, we see two characters that are standing firm in their beliefs, and the woman doesn't have to bend all of her boundaries and beliefs to fit into what her Duke wants!

Seeing him give up his status to marry someone under his social standing was HOT, and refreshing. I liked that Annabelle didn't bend to being his mistress. Loved it!
