Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |    ) Narshkite | Jul 24, 2020 | *The Reason for Marriage - Stephanie Laurens *The Wedding Party - Kasey Michaels *Unlaced - Delilah Marvelle All well written interesting stories about couples that marry and fall in love, breaking that unwritten rule in Merry Old England. Laurens' story is from 1995 and the other two were in 2012. (  ) MissRabbit | Feb 26, 2020 | 5 Stars Synopsis: Devon Matthewes, Earl of Kerrich, is in trouble with the Queen who views his rakish ways as an affront. To restore himself into her good graces, Kerrich decides to adopt an orphan and hire a dowdy governess who will not be tempted by his charms. Little does he know that behind Pamela Lockhart’s plain exterior is hidden a magnificent beauty with a mind and a tongue of her own. It would seem that the Earl has met his match… Review: Absolutely loved this book ... great characters and a clever plot. The story is well-written and reminded me of one of my favorite childhood movies – Annie, about an orphan girl adopted by a wealthy millionaire. The subplot revolving around the counterfeiting of bank notes adds a suspenseful touch to the romance. With her scalding tongue, fierce devotion to the little orphan Beth and her high spirits, Pamela is a truly engaging heroine and Devon, despite his rakish way, is both gorgeous and vulnerable in his own way. The chemistry and witty banter are the highlight of the book. Rules of Engagement is an enchanting and enjoyable book with some decidedly funny moments (“a full moon on a foggy night”). It is highly recommended for lovers of light and sweet historical romances. (  ) Lauren2013 | May 24, 2018 |  ) Tanya-dogearedcopy | Oct 25, 2016 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Governess Brides (2)
Rules of Engagement: Choose a bride from this year's debutantes. Decide on a proper settlement. Send an announcement to The Times. Inform the bride of her good fortune. Rules of Respectability: Devon Mathewes, Earl of Kerrich, has a plan that is sure to restore him to the Queen's favor. First, he must hire a sensible, unattractive governess. Next, he will see to adopting a properly grateful orphan, which will surely lend him a patina of respectability. Finally, he must obtain a guarantee that his orphan and the governess will better his character and reputation without unduly disturbing his life-love life or otherwise. Rules of Passion: As a condition of accepting the governess position, Miss Pamela Lockhart of the Distinguished Academy of Governesses has a few rules of her own. Devon at all times must behave with propriety, an unlikely accomplishment that would delight the ton and completely astonish Pamela herself. She must be allowed to choose a suitable orphan at her own discretion. Most important, Devon must vow to never ever delve into Pamela's background, or her appearance, lest he discover the truth behind the deepest secrets of her heart. But of course, all rules are made to be broken . . . An Avon Romance. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
