Juliet Graham fervently counts the days until her twenty-first birthday, when she can claim the inheritance that will grant her the freedom she has always craved and the guardianship of her younger brother. Until then, she is trapped under her aunt Agnes's domineering will. When forced to accompany the family to a house party at Shaldorn Castle, Juliet's only objective is to keep to herself. That is, until a chance encounter with a boorish stranger stirs up an unexpected whirlwind of emotions in her. Thrown off-balance, Juliet does the unthinkable: loses her temper and insults the man--who turns out to be her unwilling host, the Duke of Halstead. Fully expecting to be sent away, Juliet is surprised when the brusque and callous duke instead takes an interest in her. Drawn to the duke in unguarded moments, Juliet finds herself more and more intrigued by the man who shuns Society's rules as completely as she does, and over the next few weeks, their unlikely friendship deepens into a connection neither expected. But even as Juliet comes to recognize her true feelings, her scheming aunt issues an ultimatum that threatens the future she was just beginning to hope for. Juliet must choose: either break the promise she made to herself years ago, or lose the man who has captured her heart and soul.

*3.5

Juliet Graham is counting down the weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she can gain full guardianship of her younger brother and finally get out from under the oppressive hand of her domineering aunt Agnes. When she's forced to accompany the family to a house party at Shaldorn Castle, Juliet tries to keep to herself, but a rather rude run in with the Duke causes a whirlwind of emotions to stir in her. After insulting the Duke, Juliet is fully prepared to be sent away and for the wrath of her aunt, but to her surprise, the reclusive Duke seems to take a shining to her. The more time they spend together, the deeper their feelings for one another grow, but after her scheming aunt threatens her with a cruel ultimatum, Juliet must finally decide if she's willing to put her happiness first. 

This is a little difficult for me because while I did like it, I felt like it was missing a little extra something. I think a lot of it had to do with other historical fiction romances usually tend to be quite steamy, but this one was more innocently sweet. I was slightly bored during the beginning, but by the end I was fully invested. This is also one that you can easily read in one sitting. So, while it may have fell slightly short for me, I'd still definitely recommend it
