An illegitimate nobleman determined to give society its comeuppance loses his heart to a spirited woman who challenges his ideas about love and marriage With revenge in his soul, Ivan Thornton, the rakehell known as the Gypsy bastard, cuts a swath across London, leaving broken hearts in his wake.

A spinster possessing neither title nor fortune, Lucy Drysdale knows that her sharp repartee and intellectual curiosity frighten off potential husbands. In London to chaperone the sheltered young cousin of the Earl of Westcott through her first social season, she plans to attend lectures given by the world-class expert in psychology with whom she's been secretly corresponding. Instead she finds herself clashing with an arrogant, uncivilized nobleman who is handsomer than sin and awakens passionate feelings in her. Vowing to keep her wits about her, Lucy dares the unthinkable: taming a man whom society deems too dangerous to love. show less

The "bastard" hero is seriously messed up and treats the heroine badly during the second half of the book. The blue-stocking spinster heroine was great, except for her melting over his man-moves (backbone of a wet noodle) and that did get irritating after awhile. The first half of the book was pretty good but the ending was very strong and brought my rating up to four stars.
The heroine is delightfully spinsterish and there's something about gypsy Regency rakes that I can't resist. Ivan is so determined not to fall in love and Lucy is just so determined to make him!
