Artemis Jones—respectable finishing-school teacher by day and Gothic-romance writer by night—has never lost sight of her real dream: to open her own academic ladies' college. When she’s unexpectedly called upon by a dear friend, a fellow Byronic Book Club member, to navigate her first London Season, she comes at once—who knows, perhaps she can court the interest of a wealthy patron for her school. It’ll all be fine as long as she can avoid her high-handed aunt's schemes to marry her off… Dominic Winters, the widowed Duke of Dartmoor, needs a wife—someone who will provide him with an heir and help him manage his spitfire adolescent daughter. The problem is, Society has dubbed him The Dastardly Duke. Rumors are rife that he murdered his mad wife so his choices for a suitable bride are limited. But then he meets the ravishing and passionate Artemis Jones…who might just be everything he needs.

“Books were never the problem. Ignorance and prejudice and blatant narrow-mindedness were, and the world would be a better place without them.” I loved this passage that brilliantly summarizes one of the themes of the book. Artemis, the heroine, is a gorgeous bluestocking that secretly writes gothic novels and wants to open a women’s college. She’s smart and passionate and the perfect match for Dominic, who’s been unfairly named the Dastardly Duke of Dartmoor, but who in reality is a very good and sweet man with a tragic past. I loved both characters very much and I loved the lively banter between the two and the other characters of the book even more. The book is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions and true-to-life characters and funny moments. I definitely look forward to the next book of the series! (I listened to the audiobook, and it was fabulous!)
