The Cavendishes family has lots of characters to love and hate or just not quite understand. Just a bit of the Kardashians. A family that you see all the time but love to hate or hate to love. Either way there are emotions begin triggered and felt all around throughout the entire read.
I loved Lady Bridget. She was not the perfect lady of the ton. She wanted so much to make things work for her family but she stayed true to who she was. She fought tooth and nail the attraction building between her and Lord Darcy. American common meets London proper. This is better than you could imagine.

In
the first hilarious entry in her brand new series, USA Today bestselling author
Maya Rodale re-invents a love story we all know and cherish.
Lord Darcy is the epitome of perfect
Lord Darcy is the quintessential
Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper and horrified that a pack of
Americans have inherited one of England’s most respected dukedoms. But his
manners, his infamous self-restraint and better judgment fly out the window
when he finds himself with the maddening American girl next door.
Lady Bridget is the opposite of
perfect
Lady Bridget Cavendish has grand-but
thwarted-plans to become a Perfect Lady and take the haute ton by storm. In her
diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate in London high
society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her loathing of the
Dreadful Lord Darcy and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all.
They cannot stand each other-and yet
they cannot stay away
It was loathing at first sight for
Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing...and somehow
involve kissing. When Lady Bridget’s diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget
must decide what matters most of all-a sterling reputation or a perfectly
imperfect love.

All of London is talking about one thing and one thing
only: the arrival of the seventh Duke of Durham. His Grace, we are told, hails
from America, of all places in the world, which begs the question of how this
came to be.
Older readers—or younger readers who bother to visit
their aged relatives and actually listen to them speak of scandals from days of
yore—will recollect the Great Scandal of 1784 in which the sixth duke’s
brother, the Lord Harry Cavendish, beloved rake, absconded to America with the
duke’s prize horse. This horse-thieving younger brother had done a stint in the
army, as second sons are wont to do, especially when they are so obviously
unsuited to clergy. Whilst stationed in the colonies, he happened to fall in
love with an American woman. It was a love so great that he would forsake
family, country, membership at White’s, and a voucher for Almack’s.
After extensive sleuthing this author has been able to
determine that Lord Harry Cavendish established a farm in Maryland where he
bred and trained racehorses, raised his family and refused to use his title.
His son, the new Duke of Durham, followed in his footsteps.
So yes, dear readers, a horse farmer from the colonies
now holds one of the loftiest titles in England. His arrival is expected any
day now and this author has it on excellent authority that he is bringing three
sisters of marriageable age. Let there be no conversations about a dull season,
for this one is sure to be most entertaining . . .
