I started and never stopped until it was finished. It was worth every passing moment.

Great character development, good plot, lovely Calpurnia. I really liked this book

Love the chemistry between the characters! A must read.

Good storyline but sometimes I would just cringe at how desperate and severely insecure the heroine is. (SPOILER AFTER THIS) The extremely handsome duke has to consistently compliment her. She doesn’t ever find herself beautiful by herself but after marrying the man she had an unrequited love for 10 years is when she feels beautiful. The ending was annoying in that sense.

Sarah MacLean captured my romance literature heart over a decade ago when I first read her Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake. She gives a refreshing modern twist on the old tropes of Innocence, Rake’s and Duels by building chemistry from characters that grow into love from a place of like and surprising respect. A great read!

Can’t even put into words how much I loved this book.

Loved the story and relationship between the characters.

I feel like I’ve read every regency romance novel and this is my favorite. It’s so simple and perfect. A very well written novel that just really comes together perfectly. Fingers crossed for Benny’s love story!

This is the first book I read of the authors and boy was I hooked! Strong characters with complex personalities made me really root for them. I loved Callie and Ralston in the way I love my real friends, meaning that even when I was cringing at their actions I still wanted nothing more than their happiness!

Took me a while to finish this book. The general tone of the book is melancholy. The heroine is 28 and ON THE SHELF. Get used to reading that phrase. It’s an okay read with some tepidly scandalous adventures but does not make my top 100 list. The only really racey part is when the rake ( in a gentleman’s club ) is trying to explain an s&m scene. How can one woman please three men?
