cute. liked how a careless remark causes her take charge and change her life around. liked the (almost fairy) grandmother (but boy is she stubborn in her hate, liked how the butler manipulates her into finally letting go) sigh, lots of misunderstandings (mainly because kathleen interprets the duke's comments as insincere, you really can't blame him for his initial impression, people can change their minds!) liked the ending, the grandmother's advice on wooing and how he is tired of chasing her

Tomboy hoyden hears a handsome gent call her manly and sets out to prove him wrong. With a strong willed grandmother and a cast of unruly brothers, this is a fun read.

Really liked the book, it was a lot of fun. Very nice relationship with her grandmother. I also liked how she saves herself in the end.
