An irresistible collection of Regency romances, following three daring women as they find everlasting love with the most unsuitable and notorious men, includes Lynn Collum's Reforming a Rogue, in which beautiful widow Serena Morgan meets her match in scoundel Viscount Durwyn. Original.
A delightful book of 3 novellas and 3 authors. 1. 'Reforning a Rogue' by Lynn Collum. : 2. 'The Tables Turned' by Victoria Hinshaw.: 3. 'Marlow's Nemesis' by Debbie Raleigh. Regency stories of rogues and the women that tame them.
The first, Reforming a Rake by Lynn Collum, was the most enjoyable of the three. Serena Morgan feels duty-bound to protect her lovely young cousin from the attentions of notorious Viscount Durwyn. Only he's much more appealing in person than she would have expected, and they both discover there's more to the other than meets the eye.
The Tables Turned by Victoria Hinshaw was hard to swallow. I typically enjoy the opposites-attract nature of the premise, but Anne Talbot as the practical minded miss and Lord Dashworth as the handsome rogue suddenly brought to heel just didn't work for me. They both seemed unbelievably drawn, at least to me.
Debbie Raleigh's Marlow's Nemesis was mildly entertaining also--Lord Marlow's decided it's time he took a bride, so why not the most lovely young miss? Unfortunately that's the very one his former childhood friend has set sights on for her brother. And strangely they're both finding it hard to recall why they can't stand the sight of each other...
This book has three stories, the first being okay and then they go downhill from there. "Reforming a Rogue" by Lynn Collum has a young widow concerned that her uncle is trying to marry her mentally slow cousin to a gazetted rake. But he really has his on on the widow instead. It was pretty cute and nice to see that one of the characters wasn't perfect. Victoria Hinshaw's "The Tables Turned" starts with Lord Daniel Dashworth trying to win a bet but once he encounters Anne Talcott, he thinks there may be more important things in life. A good premise but not my favorite story. "Marlow's Nemesis by Debbie Raleigh was my least favorite story with the well-known conceit of a man needing to marry, picking out the perfect woman and then finding out the perfect woman was right in front of him all along.
