A clever spinster.
Content with her spinster lifestyle, Miss Sybil Cunning wants to prove that a future as an unmarried woman is the only life for her. As a bluestocking who values hard, empirical data, Sybil needs help with her research. Nolan Pratt, Baron Webb, one of society's most scandalous rakes, is the perfect gentleman to help her. After all, he inspires fear in proper mothers and desire within their daughters.
A notorious rake.
Society may be aware of Nolan Pratt, Baron's Webb's wicked ways, but what he has carefully hidden is his miserable handling of his family's finances. When Sybil presents him the opportunity to earn much-needed funds, he can't refuse.
A winter to remember.
However, what begins as a business arrangement becomes something more and with every meeting, Sybil slips inside his heart. Can this clever woman look beneath the veneer of a coldhearted rake to see the man Nolan truly is?

One Winter with a Baron The Heart of a Duke, Book 12 (Audible Audio Edition) Christi Caldwell, Tim Campbell Books Reviews
If you need a touch of lightness that leaves you with a smile, this is the book to read! I was smiling through so much of it. I loved the unfolding of the 'opposites attract' where they learn in certain essential ways that they are not opposites at all. It's a very tender, romantic read. Really delightful!!
Recipe for an excellent story
• a happily on the shelf spinster who is content helping her father with his research
• add a smidgeon of doubt
• blend with research
• stir in a dashing rogue
• throw in a secret he keeps hidden from everyone even his family
• toss in his finances being in dun territory
Mix well with Christi Caldwell’s writing talent.
Final result – a 10 star, 20 hankie story!!!!
Miss Sybil Cunning was tired of being the loyal and obedient daughter. At the age of 27, not only was Sybil firmly on the shelf (no matter how many seasons her mother enforces), but she was a bluestocking too! But Sybil craves something more, just one time before she retires to the country, to live in freedom from the restrictions that a marriage would demand; and there was only one person that could help her with that...Barron Nolan Webb.
Barron Nolan Webb was in a purgatory of his own making...at least that what he thought! When Nolan's man-of-affairs had mismanaged the families money to brink of bankruptcy, Noland blamed himself for trusting his father man. But when Sybil Cunning arrived at his home offering to pay him $1000 to help her experience life, beyond what she reads in books. So of course, what could a almost penniless rake do, but accept her offer.
But from their very first meeting, Sybil haunted Nolan; he craved her and actually wanted her companionship. But Nolan feels he is too flawed to be the man that Sybil needs, but when her family finds out that they have been meeting, will Nolan be able to walk away from the women he loves.
Christi Caldwell ALWAYS manages to rip my heart out with her books, but I think One Winter with a Baron has devastated me more than most. I LOVED the characters so much, especially the sisters! Josephine and Arial, so smart and sassy and yet so young! I hope they become friends. When it comes to Nolan and Sybil, seriously, what is not to love. I love Sybil's spirited nature, but also her more studious and unsure side. I love Nolan's ability to see past Sybil's surface and see the striking women she is inside!
The writing and plot as always are magnificent! Every book I read (or re-read) of this author is simply a little bit of heaven that I can escape to. Her books are simply a delight to read!
I give One Winter with a Baron 5 stars!
Sybil, a confirmed spinster, just wants to know what it is like to have fun. Nolan, a notorious Rake, wants to keep his horse and introduce his sister to society. When Sybil offers 1000 pounds Nolan to show her fun, neither expects the outcome of the experiment.
I truly love each of Christi Caldwell's books. Her characters are often flawed in some way, but they endear themselves to us.
Sybil is not the perfect girl of the ton. She is very curvy, wears glasses and has no problem with being a spinster. She is adorable.
While a confirmed Rake, Nolan does have a warm heart. He just needs the right girl to melt it.
After I finish a Christi Caldwell book, I always say that it's my new favorite, at least until her next one is written. So, here's my new favorite for now!
If you read one book this year, do yourself a favor and make it this book! Its no secret that I am a huge fan of Christi Caldwell! She writes in a way that pull her readers right into the book and makes us feel as if you are an interloper in the world of couple on the page. It truly is a magical experience.
There are not enough words to describe the beauty and magic that is Nolan and Sybil's story. They are two seemingly polar opposite who from all outside appearance are completely content with their lot in life. Nolan as a reputed rake and Sybil as a blue stocking spinster. But as the old adage says, appearances can be deceiving. Both Sybil and Nolan find it easy to hid behind masks and walls then deal with the pain of their past.
Sybil, tired of being on the sidelines of life decides that she wants to experience the thrills of life before she settles into her spinster life. She purposes an offer to Nolan, that he can't refuse. As Nolan begins to show Sybil what life is outside her books, neither are prepared for the emotions and longing they bring out in each other.
The more time they spend with each oghdf, the more they learn the burden of pain and hurt they each carry. Each excursion, talk and experience cracks the carefully built walls around their heart, until they both begin to see what neither every dreamed of, a true and real love.
This story is the total package. It's short enough that I read it during my kid's nap time. It's long enough that the plot is thoroughly worked out. It's so beautiful. First of all, it made me like the name Sybil. That's amazing all by itself. Second of all it made me fall in love with Nolan Pratt, which if you've read the rest of Mrs. Caldwell's work, you know is going to be a challenge. I loved it. You'll love it. Read it. Read the entire Heart of a Duke series. You won't be disappointed.
Christi Caldwell has a way with characters and she outdoes herself in this delightful story of bluestocking looking what she might be missing. Twenty nine yer old Sybil decided to do some research to see what all the talk is about. So she sets out to find a rake she can hire to help her. She's not looking for a sexual experience but life experiences. Rake Nolan Pratt the Baron of the story is in dun territory with a sister coming out to plan for and a younger brother who has put off getting married while they get the family finances in shape.
Sybil and Noel complement each other - both are smart but independent yet they open up to allow the other to see something that their families don't. Their interactions are beautifully written and their Happily Ever After is well deserved. This is quick and enjoyable read.
