The Earl and the Reluctant Lady

It's a charming story, but there are things I just didn't like and somethings that went unanswered. I love a forbidden love that is forced together story like this. There's a bit of a mystery with someone threating the group and a man that wants her for himself that brings them together. I loved that he had loved her for so long and that everyone sees it so clearly. Her brother was just like I thought he would be when it came to her. I also loved her friends seeing what she wasn't seeing. To me, they just seemed mismatched and I didn't really get the passion between them that I would expect. The thing of needing to change him just rubs me the wrong way. I love a reformed rake/rogue, but the setting out to change him I don't like. The Ladies of Virtue group doesn't fully make sense to me because it's not explained enough. Agnus lives in the shadow of her mother and is constantly hounded by men thinking she is like her mother. She just wasn't my cup of tea because she came off cold most of the time. I didn't like how she was ready to take on things but then turned around and mad decisions that made no sense to her kind of character. Just a little too naive at times for me. Fletcher has been beaten down by his grandfather for years and only wants to prove himself. I loved him right away because he was so naturally charming and spoke his mind. He never doubted his feelings and fought for her when he needed to. I only wish the stuff about his grandfather had been explained because it would have made it easier to understand him at times. Overall it wasn't my kind of read, but I know many that would love this kind of story. Copy provided for an honest and voluntary review

This beautifully written story grabbed my heart and did not let go. Upon first sight, Fletcher, Earl of Wakefield saw her at a ball from a distance and knew he had to meet her. Unbeknownst to him, Agnes is the sister of the man who holds his job as a spy in his hands. Agnes is of course attracted to him as well, but with a warning he stays away and does not see her until three years later! A reputed rake and scoundrel, Fletcher plays his role well in getting information out of women for the good of the country. What you say? Well somebody has got to do it and he is a master of seduction. But when he sees Agnes again, he just cannot resist!! These two characters came alive with the wonderful words of Robyn Dehart. She captured my imagination with the storyline and I could not wait to see what happened! When they were together, sparks seemed to fly and they could not keep their feelings contained. Prepare to be delighted in this next installment of this amazing series!!

From the very moment Agnes Watkins walked into his life, Fletcher Banks, Earl of Wakefield, has wanted her. Agnes is not just beautiful, she's clever and determined. Despite her uncommon beauty, she refuses to conform to society's standards. She's also the sister of Christopher the man who holds Fletcher's career as a spy in his hands & Christopher warns Fletcher off in no uncertain terms. Tall, impossibly broad, and handsome as a sin, Fletcher Banks is a brazen scoundrel. Known for his reputation as the greatest lover in London, he's the only man who's ever proved a temptation for Agnes. Her duties with the Ladies of Virtue means she can't overlook his lustful ways. Three years have passed & he time has come to reform this rake. With Agnes setting her virtuous sights on him, Fletcher can't ignore her any longer. Especially when she starts to receive disturbing letters, Chris asks Fletcher to guard . A well written engrossing read, this is the third book in the series & easily stands on its own, some of the timeframe is parallel to the second book, which I found an added bonus. I loved both Agnes & Fletcher & how they denied their feelings for so long even though their attraction sizzled but they could also talk to each other & liked each other too. I look forward to more in the series after all there are seven sins & of course Matilda & Sullivan disliking one another so much has to be a story My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
