Book Review By Rina Hall
Minx by Julia Quinn

Dunford, featured in both "Splendid" and "Dancing at Midnight," gets his own story told in "Minx." While both of his friends, Alex and Belle found loving bliss in the arms of their own respective spouses, Emma and John, the good looking Dunford suddenly found himself in possession of a working estate in Cornwall and the new title of "Lord Stannage."

When he arrived to inspect his new inheritance he found out that the estate was being run by a person named "Henry." Henry is actually Henrietta Barrett, a tomboyish innocent whose sharp business acumen made Dunford's inheritance a very profitable estate. Henry is very adept in running a large farm, managing the tenants, but when it comes on behaving like a "lady," she was clueless. Dunford decided to help Henry in this matter; he took it upon himself to guide Henry into becoming a lady (with help from his friends, Belle and Emma) and presenting her to society. But much to his chagrin, he discovered that teaching Henry how to become a lady is not the only thing he wants her to learn, Dunford wanted very much to teach Henry the ways of love.
