It takes a minx to tempt a rogue...Beautiful and feisty Henrietta Barrett has never followed the dictates of society.

And it takes a rogue to tame her...William Dunford, London?s most elusive bachelor, is stunned to learn that he?s inherited property, a title...and a ward bent on making his first visit his last. Henry is determined to continue running the Cornwall estate without help from the handsome new lord, but Dunford is just as sure he can change things...starting with his wild young ward. But turning Henry into a lady makes her not only the darling of the town, but an irresistible attraction to the man who thought he could never be temp… (mere)
I loved the relationship between Henry and Dunford. I loved that they became friends first. You really see a progression to love in this story. Henry stayed herself throughout, and I am glad she didn't have to change to make anyone happy. Dunford accepted her as she was. I didn't like the end. I felt like the drama at the end was out of character for both of them. They talked to each other all through the book. Why didn't they talk to each other then? ( )
The heroine is not really plain, but she believes herself to be unattractive because she is a tomboy, and is insecure about her femininity. There is a ton of angst and misunderstandings and other stuff right up my alley. I would LOVE to read more books like this. I loved how Henry just assumed no man would ever want her because she's so independent and brash and wears pants. More like this one, please! (4.5 stars) ( )
Light as air and filled with sparkling witty dialogue. Henry, our heroine brought to mind Katherine Hepburn in almost every role she played, and that is all to the good. Dunford was a delightful honorable reformed rake. I did like the first half better than the second. The impediment to our HandH being together was one of those things that could have been easily cleared up and wasn't, and we lost all our witty repartee after that. Still, overall this was delightful. ( )
