It got off to a good start and I instantly liked the hero, Thomas (heroine was a bit tetchy though.) He has an ignominious past as something akin to being the king of rakes in his "youth", (he's now a doddering old man in his 30's with graying hair.) Our heroine has the crazy notion to go to him for lessons on how to be seductive so she can catch a rich husband to bolster up her impoverished family. Of course she's beautiful and feisty and he falls for her immediately, but there's just all this other stuff going on all over the place and I found it exasperating at times for the hero and heroine were so dense about just saying what they really thought. Instead they were always playing games with each other. Then there is the inevitable "big misunderstanding" and then time goes by and we have an escape from Paris upon Napoleon's return from Elba! At times I thought this book had everything in it but the kitchen sink! Some loose ends and dangling characters as well, which I suspect we see more of in subsequent books. Still, parts were funny and entertaining, but needed a strong hand in concentrating more on the couple and less on the surrounding events around them.

She needs a lesson in desire . . . Lady Catherine "Cat" Sinclair must rescue her impoverished family by marrying a wealthy suitor. But there is one problem: she knows nothing of seduction. But Thomas Montrose -- a rake who has long set the ton ablaze with his passion -- may be able to help. Can Cat persuade him to give her a few scandalous lessons? But he may get schooled . . . Now retired to the English countryside, Thomas has bid adieu to his libertine days. Yet the impudent maiden with the shocking proposal ruffles his nerves when she claims he is no longer a master seducer. To prove her wrong, he agrees to teach her all about desire. But he never imagines his ravishing student will learn so quickly . . . or that she will tempt him beyond reason. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I'm somewhat hit or miss with Ms. Brockway's books, and this one was a miss for me. The setup was too unrealistic - actually, the whole plot was kind of silly. I'm sure others will enjoy it, just not for me. ( )
