Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord, by Sarah MacLean

“Lord Nicholas is a paragon of manhood. And his eyes, Dear Reader! So blue!” Pearls & Pelisses, June 1823

Since being named on of London’s “Lords to Land” by a popular ladies’ magazine, Nicholas St. John has been relentlessly pursued by every matrimony-minded female in the ton. So when an opportunity to escape fashionable society presents itself, he eagerly jumps—only to land in the path of the most determined, damnably delicious woman he’s ever met!

The daughter of a titled wastrel, Lady Isabel Townsend has too many secrets and too little money. Though used to taking care of herself quite handily, her father’s recent passing has left Isabel at sea and in need of outside help to protect her young brother’s birthright. The sinfully handsome, eminently eligible Lord Nicholas could be the very salvation she seeks.

But the lady must be wary and not do anything reckless…like falling madly, passionately in love.

We are planning a “Buddy Read” in January. Please join us.

We hope to eventually do the whole series.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Does January work for everyone?

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 13013 comments Great, but towards the end (After the 20th) would be good. Otherwise I will just catch up if starting earlier suits more people.

I am so glad we are going on with the series.

PS Anyone doing the Winter Challenge - Nicholas St John as the hero works for one of the categories. Woo Hoo!


Karen ♐ (kmk1214) I'll definitely read on. January works for me.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments So...like, the 21st?


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 13013 comments That would be great, Lisa Kay. But only if everybody else is fine with it.

June (ladyjune) | 630 comments Is there any chapters breakdown?


message 20: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I haven't looked at it yet, June. How many days should we take?


message 21: by June (new) - rated it 3 stars

June (ladyjune) | 630 comments There are 24 chapters including prologue and epilogue. I actually haven't read this one yet, but I'm pretty sure it would be light reading like the first one, so maybe 3 or 4 days like usual? That make it 8 or 6 chapters a day?
what do you think?


message 22: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Sounds good to me. **shrugs** Let's hear from the others, too.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 13013 comments I should have my copy by Monday.


Karen ♐ (kmk1214) I really loved the way the first book was handled. So enjoyed the discussion questions. 3-4 days reading sounds great.


Kritika | 497 comments 3-4 days to complete the book sounds good.

Great, Anjali! Welcome.

Well, every "buddy read" is a little different, so I've learned to go with the flow. For this one we are going to do DQs (Discussion Questions), which you may choose to answer (all or some or none). Sometimes we only post at certain percentage read/stopping points in the book, but this time we're doing DQs.

For an example, see our "buddy read" for the first book in this series: Nine Rules..."Buddy Read."

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I did answer Anjali first... and the GRs gremlins ate it!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Somethings come up with my Real Life plans. Could someone switch with me and do the first set of DQs and I'll do a different set?

Thanks!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Two of my favorite sentences, so far, is:
Apparently, while the earl had been causing any number of scandals in London, his family had been left to rusticate in the country. Quite possibly in the care of wolves.

LOL!

June (ladyjune) | 630 comments Hei ladies, I just get my internet back, would post dqs later. Hope you all having fun read :)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments It is a fun read. I think the getting the set-up in place took a bit longer than the first book, but it is entertaining.

Glad your Internet is back up, June!
