Caroline Grayson is a brilliant, independent nineteenth-century woman whose true passion is botany. Denied her dreams of studying at Oxford University because of her gender, she is also prevented from putting her auxiliary plan of attending New York University into action when her father compels her to marry the mysterious and sullen earl of Weymerth, Brent Ravenscroft. They both enter into the marriage with visions of personal gain.
Brent wants to get his horses back from Caroline's father, who bought his estate while he was away at war. Caroline wants to annul the marriage, thus gaining the freedom to sail to the U.S. and achieve her dream of becoming a world-class botanist. But their hearts have other ideas. Caroline gradually realizes that her husband means as much to her as her flowers and that his unconventional respect for her intelligence represents a form of freedom her peers can only vaguely imagine.
I really enjoyed this story even though the miscommunication and lies were starting to grate on my nerves. It was just too many opportunities that were missed because of anger or stubbornness. Also Brent was a bit brash and too prideful for his own good, I understand why but still it was a bit annoying. I liked Caroline she was interesting and a good heroine. These characters together made for a funny, entertaining , and all around great story.
I hope you pick it up and enjoy it as much as I did.
