Anthony is more of a trope, the stern Duke molded by his father's death to disdain love, but he's still a lovely character, bewildered by his feelings towards Daphne.Definitely, this is a good historical romance. Daphne fundamentally doesn't change herself, but the ending of her infatuation allows her to reveal her true self to Anthony which was hidden by shyness earlier. They really are a perfect match.As other reviewers have noted, this is not an ugly duckling to swan story. It's the difference between infatuation and love which many romance books seem to bypass. Anthony doesn't want to lose her expertise and decides to offer her different incentives to remain in his employ.I love how once Anthony realizes Daphne's worth, he needs to rebuild her feeling for him, destroyed by his careless remarks. When she overhears a conversation where he states his real opinion of her, she's shattered and decides to leave her job and explore the pleasures of society instead. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. She's loved him quietly though he ignores her for the most part. Buy Guilty Pleasures by: Laura Lee Guhrke by Laura Lee Guhrke (ISBN: ) from Amazons Book Store. Daphne Wade is an antiquarian expert hired for the Roman dig on Anthony's (the Duke of Tremore) estate. This is a slow-burn romance that is just lovely.
