She was unquestionably a lady. Still, that had never stopped him before. He could see that she was not, he thought, that young. Even better. Another twinge of pain from behind his eyes lent a harshness to his voice. "Who the devil are you?" In no way discomposed, she answered, "My name is Caroline Twinning. And if you really are the Duke of Twyford, then I'm very much afraid I'm your ward...."

Max Rotherbridge couldn't believe it. Along with the dukedom of Twyford, he--London's most notorious rogue--had inherited wardship of four devilishly attractive sisters! Including the irresistible Caroline Twinning. The eldest Twinning was everything he had ever wanted in a woman, but even Max couldn't seduce his own ward...or could he? After all, he did have a substantial reputation to protect. And what better challenge than the one woman capable of stealing his heart?

Four In Hand is one of the weaker Stephanie Laurens' novels that I've read. Four romances, plus the chaos that the Twinning sisters create, leaves the character development lacking. ( )

Max inherits the title from his uncle, and then finds he's inherited the guardianship of 4 lovely girls, who need to be launched into society. Only they're not quite demure innocent misses - and they want to land husbands, who turn out to be Max and his friends. ( )

I picked this up because I enjoyed "Devil's Bride," but it was a huge disappointment. I think there was just too much going on -- too many romances, too little time. By the end of the book, it felt like many of the characters were half-baked and I didn't sympathize with one of them. It was a "cute" store, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one, but not super interesting or ground-breaking. ( )

The story of four sisters and their adventures in love as they launch themselves wholesale at the marriage market in London. It all starts when Caroline wakes Max Rotherbridge and adds to his hangover induced headache by revealing that as well as the estates he inherited he also interited guardianship of four sisters. He finds himself in a bit of a pickle as he's attracted to Caroline.

The four sisters are a hoot, the male characters struggle against love and altogether it's great fun. ( )

Book description
Max Rotherbridge knew his life would never be the same....

Unexpectedly inheriting the dukedom of Twyford, Max Rotherbridge was stunned to discover he had also inherited wardship of the four Twinning sisters.

The eldest, Miss Caroline Twinning, was everything he had ever wanted in a woman -- and more! But even a notorious rake such as Max knew that, as his ward, she was the one woman he could not seduce. And who better than a rake to ensure that other rakes did not succeed in compromising the sisters?

Max was afraid that his protectiveness was not just duty, but a need to win the respect of the woman he loved...
