Sylvester, the Duke of Salford, is a polished bachelor who has stringent requirements for his future wife—she must be wellborn, intelligent, elegant and attractive. And of course she must be able to present herself well in high society. But when he is encouraged to consider Phoebe Marlow as a bride, Sylvester is taken aback by the coltish woman who seems to resent him….
When Phoebe runs away, circumstances find the two striking up an unusual friendship. Phoebe discovers that the duke isn't the villain she first thought. And Sylvester stumbles upon something he never dared hope for.…

reviewed Sylvester: Or the Wicked Uncle on April 30, 2019 Sylvester: Or the Wicked Uncle
Confession: I needed a little pick-me-up, so I had finished this novel before the Georgette Fans Group started their reread.
A lot of really interesting things struck me this time & reminded me why this is still a 5★ read for me.
♥ Original plot idea.
♥ Great secondary characters. Even if they only appear briefly in the story, I remember them.
♥ The hero shows character development, but doesn't turn into a completely different person. Total reformation of the man you love is never a healthy aspiration.
♥ Some of GH's most romantic scenes. I've reread them twice since finishing this book.
♥ Thomas Orde is one of Gh's best secondary characters. I just love him.
If you are a not a fan of ingenue heroines, Phoebe is the final one GH wrote. Cressy from False Colours is only 20, but an extremely mature personality.
I know in previous reads other members have found Sylvester's nephew Edmund a very young six, but he probably wasn't both for the time he was written, when GH wrote this (1950s) & the lack of socialisation with his peers. I quite enjoyed Edmund this time around.
I realise these are more like notes than a proper review, but this is my second review on Goodreads & I have read this particular title between 30-50 times.
I'm cutting myself some slack. ðŸ˜
