Goodreads beskrivning

England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for.

Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring... or could he?

Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke.... 

 

Mina åsikter

Den här boken har för alltid förändrat min syn på läsning och vilka genrer jag gillar! Jag har nu insett att jag verkligen gillar romance-genren och framför allt historical romance. Jag älskade karaktärerna i den här boken och de båda huvudkaraktärerna hade båda två väldigt stora karaktärsutvecklingar. Det var intressant om läsa om kvinnorörelsen bluestockins som ville förbättra samhället för kvinnor. I det stora hela så var den här boken riktigt snabbläst och spännande. Jag ser verkligen fram emot att läsa bok 2!
