Lady Bridget's Diary: Keeping Up with the Cavendishes
In the first novel of Maya Rodale's stunning new series, an American heiress must learn to navigate London society and an infuriatingly irresistible rake . . .
Lord Darcy is the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Americans has inherited one of England's most respected dukedoms. But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better judgment fly out the window when he finds himself with the maddening American girl next door.
Lady Bridget Cavendish has grand—but thwarted—plans to become a Perfect Lady and take the haute ton by storm. In her diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate into London high society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her disdain for the Dreadful Lord Darcy, and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all.
It was loathing at first sight for Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing . . . and somehow involve kissing. When Lady Bridget's diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all—a sterling reputation or a perfectly imperfect love.

Lord Darcy was pretty sure that the introduction of the American heir and his sisters was the downfall of English society. As appalled as he is by Lady Bridget's missteps, he finds himself continuously coming to her side.
When Darcy's brother Rupert expresses a desire to marry Bridget, Darcy is forced to admit that he finds the American miss is more than a little irresistible.
I think that this is the first book I've read by Maya Rodale, but it most certainly won't be my last! She did a great job bringing Lady Bridget's Diary to life, and I didn't want to put this book down.
Darcy was a bit of a stick in the mud, while Bridget had a carefree air about her, though she was trying to reign herself in to be a proper lady. I liked that she made him loosen up and reassess his priorities. They were a cute couple together.
I think Ms. Rodale did a great job bringing the characters to life, I thoroughly enjoyed Bridget's family and can't wait to read their stories. Also, I really liked Rupert and the storyline about him. I despised Lady Francesca and wouldn't mind to see her dropped down a few more levels in the future books of this series.
