About this listen
Five lessons in pleasure. One lesson in love.
Fraser MacGregor, thirteenth Duke Molineux, seizes the opportunity to use the title he unexpectedly inherited, to further his whisky business. He leaves his Highland home and heads for London where he's accosted by a feisty lass, who smashes a vase over his head.
Delilah Hart should be relishing her first London season. But she'd rather be a writer than a bland society wife. Her secret occupation of writing anonymous, inflammatory articles about the notorious Molineux family, is the first step to realizing her dream.
But when the new duke makes her an offer she can't refuse—to learn about her cause for social justice in exchange for five lessons in the art of pleasure—she begins to question her beliefs and desires. Before long, Delilah realizes that her heart, as well as her career, is at stake.
Contains mature themes.

This heroine is downright rude & then the author plays it off as it being enticing to the MMC... how many times IRL has anyone thought rudeness is attractive?!?
Also she wonders why keeps getting the cut-direct... it's because of your rudeness... problem solved!
I can't think of a single man who has been insulted to his face & then thinks "yes, that's the woman I want" 🤦♀️
Authors try too hard to impose modern day sentiments into regency romance & it doesn't work... the heroines don't come off as independent & feisty, they come off as shrewish & quite dumb, as though they don't know what era they live in.
Women had NO rights & were considered men's properties... the whole, I'm not gonna marry because he doesn't love me, I'm gonna be independent, I want to be a (publicly known) writer 🙄 (even Jane Austen published under a pseudonym as it would've destroyed her reputation had she done it under her own name), etc... is nonsensical to say the least, for the time period.
Women couldn't even have bank accounts & any business had to be conducted via a man... so, no they couldn't be independent nor could they say I don't need a man, as they had no choice... the best they could hope for at the time would be a caring husband or finding employment, such as a governess or companion to kind people!
Poorer counterparts could only become servants, live a life of drudgery at work houses or sadly, prostitution...
such a rude heroine
