A solid work, but a little more histrionic than usual Sarah Maclean, a little less believable in the barriers between the lovers. I guess I wanted a little more humor, a little more depth of character. ( ) This book had everything I didn't know I needed in one book and I want to scream from the rooftops about how amazing it was. I'm slowly coming around to some historical romance thanks to Sarah MacLean and Julia Quinn. But Sarah is 100% my favorite. Sophie is my now very favorite heroine from a historical romance novel and frankly, one of the best female MC's I've read lately period. She's intelligent, outspoken, funny and fiercely protective of her family. Frankly, she's everything you aren't "supposed" to be as a woman in her time. After standing up for her sister at a ball, Sophie ends up running away, yearning for the life she remembers before money became the end all be all of life. Our hero, King, has quite the reputation for charming women and meets his match in Sophie. Full of witty banter, their relationship progresses, despite all odds and grows in to something neither one of them expected or wanted. I had a smile on my face throughout much of the book and when I finished it, I was sad I would never read it again for the first time. If you've been on the fence about this one, I highly recommend you pick it up. I don't think you'll be sorry. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Lady Sophie's Society Splash When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside-first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin . . . it's filled with it. Rogue's Reign of Ravishment! Kingscote, "King," the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he's more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring. War? Or More? He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive . . . .No library descriptions found.
