Reviews for A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel

[Kam · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely loved this book. The three-dimensional characters, the passion, the story itself. It was completely delightful, witty, and beautifully done. Ugh I truly can't get enough of this.

And I just learned there's another one!!! Oh no, I read this one first. Oh well.

One of the best romances I have read this year

When Rufus unexpectedly inherits an earldom and a remote Norman castle, his status is challenged by his conniving uncle and by Luke, the scion of infamous smugglers. Though rivals, impeccable secretary Luke becomes Rufus's much-needed ally and surprising lover. But as Luke's covert agenda leads to a web of deceit, their loyalties are tested. How much are they willing to sacrifice for love?

This may be the best book I've read all year (and I've read over 400). It takes place about 12 years after the previous book in the series. While it can be read as a standalone, it's best read back-to-back with the first book, since they complement each other.

It's a long book, but the story itself is such a pleasure to read that I never grew impatient. The main characters are fascinating, with sparks flying between them. The plot is complex and a little spooky at times. The audiobook narration is superb.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
