The Taming of the Shrew in a regency romance?
Yes, please!
Cassandra Pomfret is very outspoken about things she believes in. The Duke of Ashmont has more flaws than Cassandra can count. When his actions inadvertently destroys her carriage and nearly costs her driver his life, she has no trouble ordering him around and telling him off to the best of her ability despite the fact that he's a Duke. Despite all his flaws, when the two are caught in a compromising situation, he knows he's going to have to marry her, if she doesn't kill him first.
Cassandra is a character ahead of her time. She spends her days arguing with people in parliament, fighting for women's rights, and teaching women to fight would be attackers. She's outspoken, smart and witty, and I adored her. The banter between the two main characters was wildly entertaining and made this book a pleasure to read (and reread).
I highly recommend this one if you enjoy retellings, strong female regency characters, witty banter, or strong male characters who have to put in the work to win the girl.
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for a copy of this book for an honest review.
