Diamond in the Rough by Jen Turano

4.0

Another fun book by Jen Turano. This book is loosely based on Pride and Prejudice. There is a nod to Jane Austen throughout the book. It's a fun story of a girl raised on a horse farm whose estranged grandmother blackmails her into having a New York season. Her grandmother introduces her to English royalty, but Poppy time and time again is rescued by his cousin and travelling companion who is hiding the fact that he is the son of a duke and extremely wealthy in his own right. Despite the obvious chemistry between the two, Poppy thinks he's pompous and he thinks that she wouldn't make a good duchess. However, as time goes on, he begins to see Poppy in a new light. Ms. Turano always injects humor into her books and this one is no exception. It's a fun light read with a HEA ending. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
