The quizzing glass is my fave thing about this book.

There were times when I would have leaned more toward 3 stars I think, the characters really are *so* stubborn, but ultimately it was interesting and kept my attention and I'm happy I read it, so I'll go with 4 stars. (

El duque de Tresham, el soltero más cotizado y escurridizo de la sociedad, debe batirse de madrugada por haber mancillado la reputación de una doncella. Pero la repentina aparición de Jane Ingleby, empleada de una sombrerería, provoca que el duque reciba un disparo en la pierna. Cuando Jane es despedida de su trabajo por haber llegado tarde, decide acudir a Tresham y pedirle que escriba a su jefa y le explique los hechos para recuperar su empleo. Pero él, seducido por su extraordinaria belleza e intrigado por su desparpajo, le propone que sea su enfermera hasta que esté mejor. Jane, que oculta un peligroso pasado, acepta y se instala en la mansión. Mientras crece la atracción entre el aristócrata y la modesta dependienta, Jane vislumbra un corazón de insospechada nobleza tras esa fachada arrogante. Incluso cuando los oscuros secretos de los que huye amenazan con salir a la luz, la joven comprende que el mayor peligro de todos es la pasión que le incita a arriesgarlo todo por un mes con un caballero que parece no creer en el amor...

I really enjoyed this as the story was rolling along well, and we started to see why and how Jocelyn became the duke. The thing was that although the reader learned Jane’s story, I was sorry that we didn’t get a scene of her explaining it all to him; the lack of communication and his being a dick could have been shortened somewhat.

So while I’m glad they’re together at the end, it sucks that we didn’t get to see him really understand and hear her. It’s still well worth it, but I’m not sure what it says when the best part of the book was when she was his mistress hanging out in their den together. Also Jane would be horrified at the cover; it’s literally the epitome of everything she hates, and she’d redecorate immediately (the cover designer obviously didn’t read the book). (
