Description
Lady Philippa Marbury is . . . odd
The brilliant, bespectacled daughter of a double marquess cares more for books than balls, for science than the season, and for laboratories than love. She's looking forward to marrying her simple fiancé and living out her days quietly with her dogs and her scientific experiments. But before that, Pippa has two weeks to experience all the rest—fourteen days to research the exciting parts of life. It's not much time, and to do it right she needs a guide familiar with London's darker corners.
She needs . . . a Scoundrel
She needs Cross, the clever, controlled partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, with a carefully crafted reputation for wickedness. But reputations often hide the darkest secrets, and when the unconventional Pippa boldly propositions him, seeking science without emotion, she threatens all he works to protect. He is tempted to give Pippa precisely what she wants . . . but the scoundrel is more than he seems, and it will take every ounce of his willpower to resist giving the lady more than she ever imagined.
Reviews
If you love Julia Quinn this is great, and if you don’t…
5By Jüsh15…this is still great. Very cute heroine, very fun hero. Now, if they would just do something about all these awful covers, more folks would actually buy the hard copy. Check out JQ’s UK, Spain covers, people! I don’t need Instagram bodies on my books…21!
4By Picky PriscillaPippa is a logical yet lively heroine and Cross is her exact match! Wonderful sparring and love scenes make this an exceptional read. Loved it!Touching.
4By j21969I liked the story. The characters were great. Sometimes I felt as though things could have been made simpler or something. I would definitely recommend reading it though.Overall very sweet but I wasn’t as enthralled
4By Sophiabiabia11111As I was with the first book of the series.Earl deserves love
2By deenicreI was bored. Skipped quite a few chapters. Slow and no excitement to the story. Disappointed to say the least. Don’t know if I will read the rest of the series.Great book
5By binxboo23I loved the antics in this book. I won’t give anything away but how pippa handled knight was ingenious. I will be reading the next book in the seriesSister does not get her happy ending
4By Trs25I liked the love story part but felt other parts of the story did get their proper endings!4th to last thread
3By LifeRideThe hero's control is always "on it's very last thread", but he never topples over the edge. You'll hear that phrase at least 3 or 4 times before anything significant happens. The main characters are likeable and unique. It is nice to read a historical romance where a couple's intellect and wit are valued over their "unparalleled beauty". All in all, it is a decent novel.Favorite book!
5By P1836I love this story! Pippa and Cross are my favorite. I love the problems they face and I feel connected to it. Very well written.More than disappointed
1By Tulip T.This book is very, very, very boring. The characters get very annoying and repetition doesn't seem to ever have an ending in this book.
