1365355 Here's another by Madeline Hunter:

The Saint (Seducers #2)

I haven't gotten the chance to read her yet.

1359426 Forbidden Love (Dell Historical Romance) by Karen Robards - the hero actually divorces his wife (in HR that is almost unheard of!) to marry his pregnant ward

Minx (Splendid Trilogy, #3) Julia Quinn

The Seducer (Seducers #1) by Madeline Hunter


883725 Well, I mentioned it in one of the games, but I'll list it here too, so it will be easier for people who like this theme to find:
Lord of Ice by Gaelen Foley

1857647 Once an Angel has a girl who has never met her guardian, and goes looking for him. I read it when I was a lot younger, but remember enjoying it.

LOL No, usually it's about a noble who ends up having a ward who is in her late teens/early twenties. He usually expects a child, and instead ends up with a woman who he promptly puts out for her season. The guardian ends up falling for her while taking her around for her season...

Sometimes its a young man who ends up as the guardian to a pre-teen. He sends her away somewhere, and when she comes back for her season(after she is much older) he falls for her.

The men are usually in their late twenties/early thirties. Sexy, but not old. LOL

1857647 The Taming of the Duke includes the heroine falling for her guardian...

The only one that comes to mind is Stella Cameron's Testing Miss Toogood, where the heroine is technically not the hero's ward, but he chaperones her. "


I read a couple when I was younger, and thought that they were great but don't remember the names of any of the books. :(

1857647 I absolutely love romance novels where the hero falls in love with his ward. I think they are sometimes the most amusing and humorous novels within the romance genre.

Does anyone has some good suggestions for me?
