Patrick O'Leary, Viscount
Donal, has traveled to Oxford for the ten-year anniversary of his graduation.
He intends to meet with friends, attend lectures and enjoy himself. When Mariah
Wynn is caught inside a lecture hall, he's shocked because women are not
allowed on campus or even the opportunity to gain an education. He's curious
about this no-nonsense bluestocking, but the more he learns about her, the more
he wants to know. Mariah is sick to death of being told she cannot get a
gentlemen's education. It's just not done they say. Women belong in the home
with children. She fights with every fiber of her being to gain entrance all
the while thinking Patrick is supporting her only to find out when she needs
him to step up, he fails her.
The plot of the book was
good, but I found Mariah very off-putting at times. I understand her passion
for an education, but too many times throughout the book, it seems her tunnel
vision is to the detriment of anyone else's feelings. I almost stopped reading
this book a number of times, but was curious to see if Mariah would mellow and
if Patrick would step up to support her.
I voluntarily read an
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
