"To live the life of independence she craves, Jane de Weston disguises herself as a young man. She doesn't foresee her attraction to Duncan, who stirs unknown but delightful sensations in her highly receptive, very feminine body. When Duncan accidentally discovers her true identity he knows he should send her away--but he agrees to keep her secret! For Jane brings light into the dark corners of his heart, and Duncan fully intends to teach his willing pupil the exquisite pleasures of being a woman."--p. [4] of cover.

This was like a Phillipa Gregory lite.
We had a possibly illegitimate daughter of a King that may have been a real person. Frustrated with her lot in life, she pretends to be a teen boy so she can learn Latin and try to go to university. + Some Scotland vs England history mixed in.
While I appreciate a woman trying to take control of her life, especially in a time when it was so hard for any woman to do so, if not impossible, I HATED the hero and his terrible friends and think this would've been better as a historical with no romance.
That being said, the romance wasn't very heavy in this book in this book at all. Overall, I want to have fun with my books right now (especially if I pick up a Harquelin) and am not looking for a debate on sexism and a woman's worth.
