Narration Toward Books Reforming a Rake (With This Ring #1)
Lessons In Love A governess must never be alone with a man. Her reputation mustn't have even a hint of scandal. She must never reveal personal emotions. No matter how strong the provocation by her employer. A governess never questions her employer's commands. Even when he's tempting her to forsake respectability for desire? She must never, ever, fall in love with someone above her station. Especially a rake—no matter how devastating his kisses may be. Alexandra Gallant is a governess extraordinaire—and if it weren't for that unfortunate incident at her last position, she wouldn't now be forced into the employ of Lucien Balfour, the most notorious rake in London. Though the sinfully attractive earl hired her to teach his young cousin, his seductive whispers and toe-curling kisses suggest he has something far less respectable in mind...and that will never happen. For although Lucien seems determined to teach her about pleasure, she has a few lessons to teach him about love!List Epithetical Books Reforming a Rake (With This Ring #1)

8 February 2016: $0.99 on KindleAlexandra Gallent is NOTORIOUS so she gets hired by the EQUALLY SCANDALOUS Lucian Balfour, Earl of Kilcairn Abbey, to "improve" his cousin. In the tradition of romances everywhere, they bone and get punished by losing their goddamned minds. 1. EXAMPLE A: Alexandra goes from being a take-charge no-nonsense governess to a weepy, soppy mess of a woman with no spine and less intelligence. 2. EXAMPLE B: Lucien, wanting to keep Alexandra around, decides KIDNAPPING HER AND HOLDING HER AS A (CONSENTING)
I like her writing quite a bit, and the sparring and banter between the two main characters was nicely done. But by about the 3/4 mark, I was over the heroine. In the beginning she had several very valid reasons for not wanting to get involved with him. Once he'd turned the corner and fallen for her, he moved heaven and earth to address every concern and she still resisted. It started to feel contrived and I lost my investment in them. Still, it was good outside of that, with some nice
I gave this 3 stars. It held my attention, and I got to the end, but it really felt there was something missing for me. As other reviewers have noted, it was a bit lacking in the steam department, and if you are going to base a story on animal magnetism, then there has to be more of a reason that just a couple of quickies, but my main struggles with this one was that I felt it didn't really set up the characters quite right. Alexandra's character and background were quite well described, but I
Oh dear Lord the stupidity in this novel is astounding. I can't even believe that Suzanne Enoch penned this monstrosity. This is definitely one of the most frustrating books I have ever had the misfortune to read and I can't believe that a favourite author of mine wrote it. What's wrong about it, you ask? Ha. What's right about it would be a better question. The heroine, Alexandra, was supposed to be this prim and proper and intelligent governess when in reality she's so fucking stupid it
unimpressive romance, I didn't like the characters. but writing is ok. 3 stars for the writing but it is nothing that I could recommend.
