Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore

 So, this book is not my usual fare.  Still, when I was browsing the possibilities for my book of the month, something about it spoke to me, and here we are.

This book is about a young woman, Annabelle, who is the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar.  She is left to the charity of her male relative when her father dies. She convinced him to send her to Oxford, which has just been opened for women.  She tells him that she has received a scholarship, which in fact, she has.  What she doesn't mention is that it is for the suffragettes league. 

The plan when she gets to London is to help the suffragettes change the laws regarding women and their ability to inherit.  Along the way, she predictably meets a titled gentleman of money and affluence, who becomes her "target"  to help change his vote.

From this point on, the book was completely predictable, yet somehow still utterly delightful.  I usually don't enjoy romances.  But at this point in time, there is something to be said for a guaranteed happy ending. I gave it four stars.
