Lady Be Reckless by Megan Frampton
3.0
This installment in the Duke's Daughters series features Lady Olivia, a girl who has realized the injustices in the world and seeks to solve all the problems. One of those just happens to be garnering the acceptance of Mr. Wolcott, a bastard, into polite society and finding him a respectable society wife (despite his low birth). Over the course of their acquaintance they become friends, then more.
The idea of a non-titled bastard being at all accepted by the Ton - much less being able to marry into a titled family - was so farfetched that it took me out of the story. Additionally, Lady Olivia was so self-righteous in her pompous crusading that she was an extremely annoying character. What kept me reading was the overall quality of the writing and Lady Olivia's sisters, Ida and Pearl, who's personalities were more interesting and who's stories I'd like to read.
