Scandalous Sisters. I don t know if it was an early book or what, but I found myself He also was involved with the execution of William Wallace, and was the one who carried his quarters to their destinations in Scotland. He died a wealthy man.. Guildford had instructions to bring Suffolk back by force if persuasion failed. Suffolk wisely preferred to return voluntarily, and was again taken into favour. He was, however, by no means satisfied as to the king s intentions; and the judicial murder of the Earl of Warwick, which happened immediately after, did not reassure him.

Show full review. Kathie katmom. I won this book along with several others in an online giveaway. I loved the cover and had high hopes for the story when I read the summary. The idea was very good, but the reasons that the Earl, Andrew, had to agree to ruin a young woman's, Brooke's, reputation never did jive very well with me. Brooke wasn't that nice of a person either. She was a flirt, which is fine, but blowing off society's mores all of the time was a very bad idea.
Her sisters were not much better. Liberty was annoying beyond belief, and apparently Madison is just too featherheaded to be believed.
Maybe she fell into epileptic fits; all that staring at walls was a bit creepy. Gateway, the man who basically blackmailed Andrew into doing this dastardly deed, was hideous. I don't know if he gets his comeuppance in one of the sequels, but he doesn't in this book. That didn't seem fair to me. I just didn't. It may be because the book goes through pages where it's like it was not edited at all.
I kept being forced to a solid standstill by some of the mistakes in the work. Missing words, wrong words, toooooo many words that didn't belong IN the sentences. I beta in the Twilight FanFic world and I kept wanting to get my highlighter out! I wanted to like this so much. I'm so disappointed that I didn't. I need to say: I guess this author did NOT write this book for me. There are many that loved it.
Everyone should trust their own opinion of the book. It may not jive with mine! Author books followers. I read the second book, Liberty for Paul, first, and it was hard to decide which book I enjoyed more. I finally decided this one is my favorite, so far, in the books Rose Gordon has written. I have yet to read book 3, so we'll see if my opinion changes. Anyway, this was a fun read.
Andrew Black is not one of those rakes I often read about in regency romances, and that was a huge selling point for me. Instead, Andrew is coerced into agreeing to ruin the reputation of one of the daughters in the Banks family to get them to run back to America. What endeared me to Andrew right away was his reluctance to do it. This is a hero with a conscience who feels torn between doing what is right and doing what he knows is wrong.
I really liked this hero. Rose Gordon's heroes are men I'd fall in love with in real life, so it's no wonder Brooke Banks fell in love with Andrew. He shows up at the residence where Brooke and her family are staying, and when the two first meet, the chemistry is immediate. She fools him into believing she decorated a gaudy room, which was hilarious.
From there, the two get to know each other, and they share a few kisses. I will say the kisses are some of the best scenes I've read. Rose Gordon has a way of making the chemistry between these two jump off the page. Andrew does succeed in ruining Brooke's reputation and if anyone wonders, they didn't go all the way but the scene was pretty hot , and yes, they were discovered.
I won't spoil the rest of the book except to say the end of this book had the most romantic ending I've ever read. All I can say is any woman would be thrilled to be married to a man like Andrew!
So if you like to laugh, love tender and sensual scenes, and want to read about heroes who are sweethearts, this book will fit perfectly. I finished this book because I always finish once I start, but this book was painful to read. I really tried to enjoy it but never did. I didn't like the characters. The story line was all over the place. The author never took the time to make us understand the motivation for the scheme to disgrace Brook's family.
Even after finishing the book, I still don't know why the Duke wanted them ruined. It came across as just being plain mean. Towards the end of the book the author throws in a surprise that just never clicked for me.
