Chronicle As Books Reforming a Rake (With This Ring #1)
Lessons In Love A governess must never be alone with a man. Her reputation mustn't have even a hint of scandal. She must never reveal personal emotions. No matter how strong the provocation by her employer. A governess never questions her employer's commands. Even when he's tempting her to forsake respectability for desire? She must never, ever, fall in love with someone above her station. Especially a rake—no matter how devastating his kisses may be. Alexandra Gallant is a governess extraordinaire—and if it weren't for that unfortunate incident at her last position, she wouldn't now be forced into the employ of Lucien Balfour, the most notorious rake in London. Though the sinfully attractive earl hired her to teach his young cousin, his seductive whispers and toe-curling kisses suggest he has something far less respectable in mind...and that will never happen. For although Lucien seems determined to teach her about pleasure, she has a few lessons to teach him about love!

I gave this 3 stars. It held my attention, and I got to the end, but it really felt there was something missing for me. As other reviewers have noted, it was a bit lacking in the steam department, and if you are going to base a story on animal magnetism, then there has to be more of a reason that just a couple of quickies, but my main struggles with this one was that I felt it didn't really set up the characters quite right. Alexandra's character and background were quite well described, but I2.5 stars She blinked and swiped her disheveled hair out of her face---and saw her abductor. "Lucien!" she shrieked. "What in God's name are you---""I'm kidnapping you," he said calmly."And your little dog, too." For 40% of this story the hero was unnecessarily rude, the saying "honesty without tact, is cruelty" needs to be written on a chalkboard 100 times by him. There was also an icky feeling to how he pursued and came at the heroine, you know, his employed, at his mercy, governess. He
The Suzanne Enoch "With This Ring" series is not quite as popular as some of her others, but I love Enoch novels so I wanted to give it a try. The first installment, Reforming a Rake, is only recommended if you're willing to put up with some silly drama in order to still get scraps of funny dialogue. I'm running out of Enoch novels so I was willing and because of my mindset going in, I didn't mind when the plot veered into the absurd and my first impression of the hero was that he was a perv.
So given the fact that I had just read Julia Quinn's The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy and enjoyed it, I thought I'd give another historical romance that's been sitting on my shelves for years (literally, YEARS) a chance. I was obviously in the mood, so I needed to ride this wave until it's over - who knows the next time I'll be in this kind of mood again. It was uncomfortable reading this book given the very old-fashioned, provocative cover. My husband wouldn't stop making fun of me, calling
A truly breathtaking novel. I loved the hero. He was so funny and so cynical. His self deprecating sense of humour provided so much amusement for me. He was a rake and yet he was so romantic towards the heroine after he started to fall in love with her. I enjoyed the way he made fun of his tacky, greedy aunt Fiona. He called her the devil and referred to his cousin Rose as the spawn of the devil. Fiona and Rose had the most tacky, horrendous fashion sense and he hired the heroine Alexandra to be
I've read some bad reviews on this book saying that Alexandra does some really stupid things. Fortunately, it isn't that bad and I rather enjoyed this story.The main characters, Alexandra and Lucien, are quite likeable. However Alexandra is too independent for her own good, but it's reasonable regarding the fact that she had to care for herself for too long. Still, she makes a very nice couple with Lucien, a rake she reforms. It's sweet that he is so crazy in love with her. In fact it is one of
I think I was being naive when I rated this book 3 stars before. Downgrading it now that I have "matured". lol Really stupid heroine, relationship built on sex, horny hero. Meh
