She’s unhappy/tormented for a lot of the book, and under duress, but she struck me as having a pretty good attitude. Oh, and wooing her sister’s eccentric, ducal lover.ĭislikes: Actually, she’s not really a negative person. Likes: Country ways, simple gowns, seeing her mother smile, reading her brother’s books.
They bond over painful childhood memories. A cross-dressing Duke who follows Kit home to beard the badass in her den. Who is also Lady Rose, Darlington’s cousin. The Badass: Katherine (Kit) Sutherland, spinster sister of a countess and niece of an earl fraying at the seams trying to keep her family’s manor home from going under, she’s a cynical, brusque, brooding hero who just wants to be left alone to take care of her family in the wake of her father’s ruinous gambling and emotional manipulations.įalls For: Jude, His Grace the Duke of Darlington. And she's endured whatever dark alluded-to evil deeds villainous squire has perpetrated over the years and just totally sacrificed her ugly self, martyred to the last drop of blood all for her splendid family.In which a Duke is Deceitful and the Badass Hero is a Spinster She's fixed the pigsty and made the cruel and heartless decisions to butcher the pigs (you'll be relieved to hear that a butcher was actually doing that, but she passed the death sentence, the ruthless bitch) and she's chopped up the last wardrobe that winter 2 years ago when they ran out of firewood (obviously paper for bro's writing was more important than keeping Ma warm). She's ugly, did I mention that? And her face is all bashed in, but she's single-handedly held the family together for the last 10 years, well except for Lydia who's hated her for the last 14 years because she didn't make daddy dearest stop doing what he wasn't doing.
In any case, we have a heroine, who so intrigued CDD by telling him that he was nothing but his clothes when she didn't realize he was CDD, he just knows she'll magically cure his panic attacks.
