Gosh darn it. I remember reading this series and really enjoying it. Sigh. Now I'll probably have to read the whole thing again. Booger.
Anyway, this book is th second in a series about a mother who left her "Talisman ring" to her children in the hopes that they could find the same true love that she did. In this book, it's Brandon St. John's turn as he tries to deflect the Lady Verena Westforth from marrying his brother. But, after he offers her a significant bribe, he finds out that she's alrea...more

He is more than ever content as he is. His younger brother Chase, has just bought a special license and Brandon and...more
o I so love the chemistry between Verena and Brandon!
Nice plot but I was a bit worried with so many characters at the beginning but later on it was fast paced and engaging.
Though how big an impact can A LIST be ?
If the mystery and excitement is something other than A LIST which brought them together , the story would have been better.
This is my first read by Karen Hawkins, and it will definitely not be my last!

I am really liking this series. This story moves along at a fast pace even though the H/H connection is drawn out to peak the reader's interest. There is actually a story and I was quickly drawn in to help solve a mystery...one of my favorite pastimes. I love a good mystery. This story left me wanting to pick up the next installment..which I did. At this point at number two of a series of five I am recommending it to you.
It's a keeper! loved reading about the ring. I mean, at the end I literally screamed out loud when Chase caught it! Here i thought Brand would give it to Devon. But I am so glad. I get read Chase's story next. :)
I loved Herbert, okay? That man is an awesome butler. I don't think the last time I laughed so much reading about butlers! Very strong and balanced characters.

This book had enough mystery to keep me interested with just the rot amount of spice. I looked the characters, but I did want to know what happened to the villain of the piece, could've been included in the epilogue.
Another fun read and enjoyable time with the St. John brothers. From what I've ascertained this is a series of historical romance type books incorporating the brothers and their family legacy associated with the St. John talisman ring. Truly funny and interesting reading from a reader who has never been much on historical romance.
Really Enjoyed this book. I read them out of order, but thats the best way to do it. You Fall in love with these characters from later books and you go back and read about their story. Its great.
I found this book to be slow moving... But I fought my way through it. Ready to move on to book 3 hope it moves a little better!
Not as interesting as the first book..
Great plot and terrific chemistry between the h/h. Perfect combo. The handsome man about town Brandon St. John finally meets his match, albeit reluctantly, in the form of Verena, Lady Wentworth, a widow of dubious reputation in the demimonde. While trying to resist their mutual attraction, they team up to find a mysterious list that was lost somewhere in her house. Danger, mystery and passion abound! I loved it! 4.5/5

I started in the middle of the series, but I don't think I lost much. This seems to be a self-contained story. The mystery part is good, kept me guessing to the end, and I liked the attraction between the characters.
In regards to my favorite authors of romance, Karen Hawkins is one of the few writers who creates such wonderful settings and passionate love stories that I am sad when the book ends. I want to be one of her characters and experience the story as she writes it. Confessions of a Scoundrel is the 2nd in the Talismen Ring series and each book gets better and better.
By finished, I read the first fifty pages and said "nope"
Boring, DNF.
