    <![CDATA[<p> Who will be the last unmarried man standing? </p> <p> No man in his right mind would <em>want</em> to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager&#8212;the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest. </p> <p> Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London&#8212;Judith, Lady Chester&#8212;he vows to have her bedded but never wedded. </p> <p> Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore. </p> <p> But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder . . . <em>is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?</em> </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Once I read the first book in this series, I could not wait to complete them. The many twists and turns of Gideon's and Judith's relationship make for an interesting read. Gideon is the perfect Regency &quot;hero&quot; - a little bit of a rake and a whole lot of a man.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<p> Who will be the last unmarried man standing? </p> <p> No man in his right mind would <em>want</em> to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager&#8212;the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest. </p> <p> Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London&#8212;Judith, Lady Chester&#8212;he vows to have her bedded but never wedded. </p> <p> Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore. </p> <p> But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder . . . <em>is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?</em> </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Bestselling author Alexander returns to Victorian England for her latest, the promising kickoff to a four-book series. In 1854 London, four titled gentlemen make a bet: the last man to avoid the inevitable trap of marriage wins an expensive bottle of brandy-as well as his precious freedom, for as long as necessity will allow. The first to face his trial is Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, who lost his heart years ago to a conniving woman who briefly married him to make another lover jealous. Gideon firmly believes he will never love again, and the new &quot;adventure&quot; he's begun with Lady Judith Chester is merely that-a chance for excitement, a quenching of desire. Lady Chester, for her part, feels the same. A widow whose former husband abused her in secret, Lady Chester simply wants to enjoy her freedom with a man who's merely bad, rather than controlling and cruel. But the wounds of the past have a way of catching up with the carefree lovers, conspiring to expose their real, raw feelings for each other. The rich characters in this first installment of Alexander's &quot;Last Man Standing&quot; series (wickedly similar to Stephanie Laurens's Bastion Club novels) make this a satisfying start, though one hopes for a little more action and passion in future installments.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Who will be the last unmarried man standing? </p> <p> No man in his right mind would <em>want</em> to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager&#8212;the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest. </p> <p> Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London&#8212;Judith, Lady Chester&#8212;he vows to have her bedded but never wedded. </p> <p> Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore. </p> <p> But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder . . . <em>is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?</em> </p>]]>
