Product Description

Lucinda is the last of three friends who agreed to turn the tables on London's most incorrigible rakes. But love is the farthest thing from her mind.

With her two best friends happily married, Lucinda Barrett realizes she can no longer put off her lessons in love. The rogue she hopes to educate must be someone who will keep her life steady and uneventful -- and that someone is definitely not Robert Carroway! The handsome, brooding war hero is far too complicated, and he shuns London society and its "trivialities." Still, it is a pleasant surprise when Robert offers to assist Lucinda in her mission to reform and wed a more suitable nobleman. Now if only she can resist the sensuous allure of Robert's astoundingly blue eyes -- and his intense inner fire that leaves her breathless. Lucinda wants a husband, not a passionate, irresistible lover who could shake her world with one deep, lingering kiss. And her heart is telling her that this man could be the most dangerous, disastrous, and exhilarating love she will ever know.

Cracking good read
I really enjoyed this book. The story of Robert and Lucinda is a bumpy and interesting one. Robert is a recluse, suffering from severe trauma sustained during the Peninsular War. Lucinda has decided to marry and Robert decides he's going to help her catch her quarry. This is a big step for Robert as he finds it difficult to socialise. Lucinda helps him to step out of the shadows more and more often to help her. He finds her fascinating and it helps him overcome his fear. The story wends its way round another suitor, Robert's panic attacks and a traitor who hopes to help Napoleon escape his imprisonment and re-start the war. There are outraged fathers, jealous suitors, meddling families and an exciting hunt for the traitor. All the ingredients for a book that you won't want to put down until you've finished it.

Amazing
I am not a reader of books, but when i picked this up i was hooked. Beautifully written, this story of love. I promise you once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down

A disappointing end to an excellent trilogy
Having read the first 2 books in this trilogy by Suzanne Enoch (The Rake and London's Perfect Scoundrel), I was looking forward to a further delight in this last novel. I was however sorely disappointed. Perhaps it is my taste, but while the other books involved strong rakes as the leading man, the third book tries to get a bit deeper and centres around a more sensitive figure. I didn't feel this worked as a regency plot so found it repetitive and became bored. I do however thoroughly recommend the first two books in the series and also her novellas in the Lady Whistledown collections.
