Book Description

May 7 2011
Lady Caroline Linford is horrified to discover...

her fiancé, the Marquis of Winchilsea, in the arms of another woman. Unfortunately, Victorian society considers such masculine peccadilloes a trifle; canceling their imminent wedding would be unthinkable. But Caroline's wish is for the man she is to marry to desire only her...and she seeks lessons in the art of romance from the best teacher: London's most notorious rake.

Braden Granville may be a famous lover...

but he has no intention of taking part in Caroline's scheme -- until he learns she has something he wants: the name of his own unfaithful fiancee's lover. As their passionate tutelage begins, sparks fly -- and the lines between teacher and student fall away. Now there is just one last lesson to learn: on the subject of true love, the heart chooses its own unpredictable ways.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Brimming with the warmth and charm of a playful puppy, Cabot's (Lady of Skye, etc.) Victorian-era romance turns the tired theme of a young woman's sexual awakening into something fresh, funny and sensual. Never prurient, this spirited romp offers seduction scenes that are scintillating yet subdued and protagonists with whom the reader can easily identify. When Lady Caroline Linford finds her fianc‚, Hurst Slater, the Marquis of Winchilsea, in flagrante delicto with Lady Jacquelyn Seldon, she does what any sensible woman of her era would do nothing. Caroline even goes out of her way to keep Jacquelyn's fianc‚, wealthy firearms manufacturer Braden Granville, from discovering the pair. Nevertheless, Braden, who worked his way out of London's worst crime-ridden ghetto only to be reviled by society's elite, knows he's being cuckolded, and he's determined to discover the identity of Jacquelyn's lover so that he can call off their wedding. Caroline, however, feels obliged to marry Hurst since he saved her brother's life a year earlier. To make him love her, Caroline resolves to become an expert in lovemaking, and she turns to Braden, the Lothario of London, for instruction. A subplot involving a vicious ring of card sharks helps flesh out Caroline and Braden's romance, and supporting characters such as Caroline's friend Emily, a Suffragette who's fond of chaining herself to things, and Braden's quirky cronies Weasel, Wormy and Crutch add zing to an already intoxicating tale. (Nov.)Forecast: Cabot (aka Meg Cabot and Jenny Carroll) is a writer of remarkable skill, and it's only a matter of time before her historical romances are embraced as readily as her young adult titles (The Princess Diaries; The Mediator). Strong word of mouth and glowing reviews should help propel her latest into the limelight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good! Jun 15 2004
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I wish I could give this 4.5 stars, because it was nearly perfect to me. I loved the characters, the dialogue was delicious (especially Caroline's internal conversation) and the ending was very satisfying. The only drawback (and it is a slight one and just based on personal preference) is that the plot is supposed to be about Braden giving Caroline "lessons" in how to please a man, but they only have two such lessons and and they are all about pleasing Caroline. I love Cabot's writing and really hoped to see a scene where Caroline got to explore Braden thoroughly. Just a small disappointment in an otherwise wonderful book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lively Characters May 4 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Caroline Linford has been sheltered from life's mysteries - or, more specifically, from love's mysteries. When she discovers her fiance in a compromising position with another woman, she is at a loss to understand what this other woman has that she doesn't. Not wanting to be the kind of wife that drives her husband to have a mistress, she hatches a scheme to hire Braden Granville to teach her "how to make love." She means these lessons to be rather theoretical, which is evidenced by her intention to take notes. However, Braden decides to teach her through a more hands-on technique.

The characters are quickly drawn and lively. The first scene will quickly give you a sense of the logical way that Caroline's mind works. Braden is a bit more gossipy with his lower class companions than I would have expected, but it's a minor flaw.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Entertaining Read Mar 7 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When Caroline Linford walks into a room and finds her fiance in a rather compromising situation with another woman she doesn't know what to do. That is until she meets Braden Granville, the Lothario of London, who just happens to be the fiance of the woman Caroline's fiance was with. Wow, what a tangled web that's been weaved. An idea springs to mind for Caroline. She wants to keep her man (she thinks) and keep him honest. She has decided she will have Braden teach her the art of lovemaking! With this plan set into action the reader is in for quite a journey.

This book was fun, witty and very entertaining. This was my first Cabot read and I would definitely read another by this author. This book takes the act of cheating to a whole new level. The characters are enjoyable and likable (with the exception of Lady Jackie). The story is good in the fact there is no damsel in distress. The damsel in this book is a take action kind of gal. She isn't wishy-washy like so many Victorian romance women. Braden is also a very likable person and soon the reader finds themselves rooting for these two as if they're old friends of the characters.

To sum it up this book is charming, funny, witty, and most of all fun to read. A must read for any day!
