Book Description:
No man, gentleman or otherwise, has ever looked at Lady Edwina Bollash the way the brash, handsome man standing before her is doing now. Edwina has accepted the challenge to transform incorrigible Mick Tremore into a gentleman in just six weeks. And although the linguist is sure she can rise to the task, she isn't at all certain she won't swoon under his frankly sensuous gaze before her job is done.

Mick has lived outside of London society long enough to know that appearances can be deceiving. Edwina might look all buttoned up-the perfect English lady-but there is unleashed passion existing just below her placid facade (not to mention a great pair of legs!). And as she prepares him to take his place in society, Mick prepares Edwina to take her place in his heart...and in his bed.

Charming historical romance of a linguist taking on a bet that she can make a poor Englishman appear distinguished and rich just by changing his speech. This book really kept my interest because the plot and, mostly the characters, were so engaging.

Pygmalion in reverse. Steamy romance that can't work as he is from the lowest class in England, and she is from one of the highest of the ton. But, after the first few days, everything Mick learns seems to come naturally, and after three weeks, Edwina can only see the gentleman he has become.

Another well written Judith Ivory. Set in Victorian England, the Pygmalion story turned on its head. A cultured woman must train a poor ratcatcher how to pass in English society.

Very good hero.
