Book one in the Duke's Behaving Badly series. This book had me cracking up. We get to meet Marcus who just happened to inherit a dukedom that he really did not expect since there were several other heirs between him and it. No sooner does he learn about his new higher status his daughter (from a previous mistress no less) is dropped off on his doorstep after her mother passes away. Having no clue what to do with the young girl he immediately contacts a new agency in search of a proper governess for Miss Rose. With all of their girls out on assignment Lily has no choice but to go herself though she is worried the secrets from her past will catch up to her. From the first meeting the two of them are drawn to one another and what follows is a lesson in futility as they each try to deny what they fell for the other one. Despite their efforts they fall in love anyways. This is a nice historical romance novel that has two strong main characters set in a world that suits them both. From what I can tell it is historically accurate though considering its a romance novel I could care less if some of the details are off. There are a few parts that seem to move really slowly that drove me a little nuts but besides that this is a good romance novel that I recommend for fans of that genre. I really enjoyed it so it gets 4/5 stars.
