Review: My First Book from this Author
Rating: 4 out of 5

This story was sweet, leasurily paced, with little intensity, but very endearing.  The hero was not a rake (what a relief for me), he was also not an alpha type of man.  I do like for the hero to be alpha, but so many times in romance books, the hero is just a bully, and I just hate it when the hero is emotionally and/or mentally abusive toward the heroine, treating her with callous disregard except for his "lust" for her.  This hero is sweet, supportive, very understanding , and falls in love first, things I love in a romance book.  He was no alpha, but in this story his character worked.  Besides (for me) it was a refreshing and welcome change, that he was the one who was innocent, unsure of himself, and very smitten.  The heroine was strong yet feminine, beautiful and engaging.  So yes, I liked the book.Who I did not like (at all) was the hero's cousin: Christopher.  When I bought this book, I also bought his story:"His Reluctant Lady", but decided to read first: "The Earl's Scandalous Wife", (though,the other story came first) simply because the book description of this book, intrigued me more.  Good thing I did.  I do no think, I will read "His Reluctant Lady", the hero in it, meaning Christoper is just too irritating for my taste, instead of charming I find him obnoxious
