The only downside of buying ebooks is that it’s harder to work out if you’ve read the book before, particularly if the blurb is vague and generic and/or you have a terrible memory for character names (as I do!)… In this case I had read it. But many, many, years ago so while I quickly remembered the shape of the plot, I didn’t remember all the tiny twists and turns. Damn good fun and a lovely warm read, even if I did want to scream at our hapless couple that they should HAVE A CONVERSATION, DAMMIT! (  ) ph8 | Aug 1, 2009 |  Lady Wombat says: Quinn's third novel. Better than Splendid, but still not up to the standard of her later works. Wombat | Jul 16, 2009 | This book was a little slow going which is really odd for a Julia Quinn story. But it gets better as it goes on and ends up being a cute book. I believe it was one of her career starting books, so that's why it may sound a little badly written. Henry is not a woman to be toyed with. An orphan with only one distant relative to turn to, she finds that she loves the only place she can call home. So much so that she decides to run it, and successfully too. Dunford has recently found himself with a new title and a new piece of land...plus a new ward. Henry is like no one he has ever met. She is forward, courageous, sweet, and beautiful underneath her mannish clothes. But how could he want her, his own ward? That was tacky and ungentlemanly to the extreme. Can he fight his desire for the girl he can never touch and can Henry overcome her fear of polite society to become a woman? (  ) insertbooktitle | Feb 24, 2009 | Started out very promising, but got bogged down a little in the middle. From there she goes straight into cliche. I was disappointed enough that I actually didn't bother reading the sex scenes of the last few chapters. (  ) mbosvyle | Jan 22, 2009 | Oh fun, after the first two books in the series, I was ready to see Dunford get a little action. So he inherits a property in Cornwall, becomes friends with the farm girl who runs the place, then discovers he's been made her guardian. Of course he dresses her up and trots her off to London to get some polish - and possibly a husband. High jinx, angst, and canoodling ensue.

It takes a minx to tempt a rogue . . .
Henrietta Barrett has never followed the dictates of society. She manages her elderly guardian's remote Cornwall estate, wears breeches instead of frocks, and answers to the unlikely name of Henry. But when her guardian passes away, her beloved home falls into the hands of a distant cousin.
. . . And it takes a rogue to tame her
William Dunford, London's most elusive bachelor, is stunned to learn that he's inherited property, a title . . . and a ward bent on making his first visit his last. Henry is determined to continue running Stannage Park without help from the handsome new lord, but Dunford is just as sure he can change things . . . starting with his wild young ward. But turning Henry into a lady makes her not only the darling of the ton, but an irresistible attraction to the man who thought he could never be tempted.
