Eloisa James returns to the Wildes of Lindow
Castle series with the next Wilde child who runs and joins a theatre
troupe -- and the duke who tries to save her reputation.
He wants a prim and proper duchess, not the Wildest of the Wildes!
Already
notorious for the golden hair that proves her mother’s infidelity, Lady
Joan can’t seem to avoid scandals, but her latest escapade may finally
ruin her: she’s determined to perform the title role of a prince—in
breeches, naturally.
She has the perfect model for an
aristocratic male in mind: Thaddeus Erskine Shaw, Viscount Greywick, a
man who scorned the very idea of marrying her.
Not that Joan would want such a dubious honor, of course.
For
years, Thaddeus has avoided the one Wilde who shakes his composure, but
he’s horrified when he grasps the danger Joan’s putting herself in.
Staring into her defiant eyes, he makes the grim vow that he’ll keep her
safe.
He strikes a bargain: after one performance, the lady
must return to her father’s castle and marry one of three gentlemen whom
he deems acceptable.
Not including him, of course. AMAZON LINK

I've wanted to read this story for a while. Although it's a well written book with interesting main characters I find myself a bit disappointed. I find it's not really my cup of tea. For me, probably too much focus on Shakespeare. There were some good moments with some cute and even some smile-worthy times. Just not enough for me.
I did enjoy Otis and Aunt Knowe though. And it does have a H.E.A. so there is that.
I read this book through Libby (Library)
