Poppy is supposed to be enjoying her first season, but so far, it's been a disaster. Strange things keep happening to her, and her grandmother isn't happy. She wants Poppy to become a 'diamond of the first water' and find a rich, titled husband.
Reginald is in town to help his cousin find a rich bride. He's hiding the fact that he's actually the son of a duke, and somehow ends up teaching Poppy how to become successful in society. Even with his lessons, Poppy seems to attract trouble, something Reginald isn't used to. These two start out on the wrong foot, but soon come to appreciate each other's better qualities.
My favorite thing about Turano's books are her characters, and this one isn't different. Each character has their own personality, and I felt invested in their stories. My only minor complaint is the 'villain.' I can't really get into my reasoning without giving spoilers, but something about that part of the book seemed odd. It's a minor issue and didn't prevent me from enjoying the book overall.
As usual, there's links to other books, but you can read them out of order and not feel lost. I'm hoping the third book will be about Beatrix, and I look forward to it. Good Book!
