3.5 stars It was a good story, I enjoyed Bennett and Phillipa and the monkey. At times there were too many references to the adventures he's been on.. but he's an adventurer so... It didn't make me too long to read but didn't grip me as much as I would have hoped. I did like the fact that Benne...
Okay I truly enjoyed this book from beginning to end.An adventure that led in a wound, rumored dead Bennett Wolfe comes home to find his journals stolen and published for someone elses, his reputation in tatters, and more surprising the first time he truly feels for drawn to a woman who may inter...
Suzanne Enoch se narodila někdy během druhé poloviny 20. století v jižní Kalifornii (přesné datum úzkostlivě tají). Jak už to tak bývá, zatímco ostatní chtějí být v dětství astronauty nebo hudebníky, Suzanne si přála být spisovatelkou.Původně chtěla psát o svých dechberoucích dobrodružstvích v rá...
I realized something while reading this one. When I read a historical romance my thoughts depend so much on the heroine and her support network. When a heroine has a great supportive family, like the Bridgertons, the Bedwyns or the Hathaways, I can get carried away in the "romance" of the times...
Theresa "Tess" Weller is a lady so proper, she wrote the book on propriety. Literally. After spending thirteen years researching (and living and breathing) the topic, she anonymously published a booklet called "A Lady's Guide to Proper Behavior" that has been widely circulated among the ladies of...
I liked this final book of the Notorious Gentlemen Series but it was not my favorite of the three. As expected, Bram made himself a wonderful hero and his redemption was very well written by SE.As for the heroine, she was OK but I liked much more Isabel and Allyse from the other two books. I supp...

Because of the venal greed and corrupti...
This was the first book in a long time where I had a "book hangover." The characters and the world were so delightful! I just loved Tolly and Tess' romance. Suzanne Enoch is an excellent author with vivid characters whoyou find yourself really enjoying. Truthfully, I thought the end (literally, t...
The setting up of the Tantalus Club and the possibilities for its use as the backdrop to future stories is quite enticing.

Once again didn't realize this was a series until I brought #3 home from the library. Fortunatly had #1 on my own shelves, so read it yesterday and bought 2 and 4 today-in for a long read-Thought the book was fun, didn't have a hit the heroine over the head moment, so that is always good. Underst...
I will start with that I really liked the story and am enjoying the series. It showed just how much the ton thinks of themselves and not of others, it is always about me. The two main characters are selfless to the point of OVERKILL on the part of doing it for the other one. I would gloss over th...
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars! I just loved it!While I thought the first book in the series was good, but not great, Taming an Impossible Rogue (Scandalous Brides #2) was fantastic! Camille Pryce was thrown into a life of scandal when she fled the alter from an arranged marriag...
Love! I've been straying away from historical romance lately because I find I just don't have the same patience for them as I used to but i enjoyed this one so much. I love how Sophie accepts her fate, and how she doesn't play games and how straightforward she is. And Adam is just a dream.P.S. i ...
Really enjoyed this tale. It was funny and a quick read. Sophie (heroine)was so refreshing. She was not afraid to speak her mind and she was willing to be open to any fun. She was steadfast (even to the point of stubborn) in being true to herself in a not-annoying way. I liked Adam (hero) as well...

Las historias de esta autora y específicamente de esta saga me han encantado, han tenido una cuota exacta de aventuras, romance y galanteo, con personajes bien definidos y diálogos interesantes, divertidos y porque no... picantes. Creí q la forma ideal para cerrar esta serie era contando la hist...
Story flowed well, writing was good, and the characters were good.I'm just weird. I like Highlander/Scottish/Irish and time traveling but I don't usually enjoy reading about England, London and the whole Victorian era with the balls and "high" civilized society. So with saying that I find myself ...
The fourth book in the Scandalous Brides series, and this one had a very adult, almost-modern feel to it.I liked the characters but I didn’t love them, I didn’t mind the story, and I thought it was definitely passionate with wonderful chemistry between the h/h. But, at the end of the day, I didn’...

She’d spoken enough about being alone and being uncomfortable around other people that the particular facts only served to fill in names and dates. None of that mattered, though. Not any longer. “I love ye, lass,” Munro murmured, lifting his head from her just long enough to say the words. “I’ll ...

Even if he hadn’t suggested she not wear her ball gown she was more than tired of it—not just because it was dirty and torn, but because of what it represented.

The two men standing just outside stepped back, startled. He likely would have been wise to cut them down before they recovered.
