Description

What had she agreed to? Leonora Freemantle had wagered high stakes that book learning, not birthright, produced a gentleman, but now with the roguish Sergeant Morse Archer under her tutelage, she was no longer sure of the outcome. Would it be polish, passion...or public outrage?

If Leonora Freemantle couldn't spruce him up enough to pass muster with the Society swells at Bath, she'd be hastily married off. But not if he could help it, Rifleman Morse Archer vowed, for this beautiful show more bluestocking with her highbrow ideals and innocent charm was effortlessly teaching him the true language of love...!

I know a lot of books are not entirely correct in a historical context, but this time I could not let it go. The whole plot and therefore all characters are utterly unbelievable. Furthermore, the characters are cardboard and do not develop. I don't get the romance either.
