Reviews for Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake
The romance in this book is fabiolus!
Well, first I should totally tell you that, I don't like history - Victorian books. I mean, I've read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but really, I didn't like it that much. Maybe because I read book especially for all the feelings a book can bring. And the kissing scenes. That's for sure!! Um, and sexual tension? Yes, totally ;) And as I've seen it, history books, well, they don't have many of kissing scenes inside - with all the my lord and courting and after all marriage. So yeah, I think you can get my point.
When I started this one and saw that it was put in the year of 1823, I was so dissapointed. But I've put this book on Kindle on my phone to see if it works! And it did. I stared reading it when I was left alone in a bar with almost a full cup of coffee (my friend needed to go). So I started. And it wasn't bad at all. After two chapters I went home, because I finished my coffee. When I picked it up later that day, I didn't put it down till I finished it.
Oh my God!! Let me tell you,THIS book was amazing. Really! I feel like such an idiot for waiting, um, 4 months before reading it. Good God, little did I know. How could have I possibly imagine that this book would be so.. um, HOT? Indeed, little.
Callie is so passinate, so good, so not what a normal Victorian girl of that era should be. And that's why I loved her so much. She was so insecure, but in a lot of ways, she did know what she wanted.
And Ralston? Oh oh. He is.. so DAMN HOT! My girl, you really should meet him ;)
So, if you're looking for some romance, this is the book for you! ;) by Nea Barabea- Top review
Oh My Books! Review
I'm new to historical romance genre but Love by Numbers is already my favorite series. I already read the next two books, Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord and Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart, I just couldn't wait until I wrote a review. But let's focus on this book...
Lady Calpurnia Hartwell is unmarried. She definitely has the status and the money to be an eligible wife, but she's old and not as beautiful as the others. But now that her little sister is getting married, she feels so unsatisfied waiting for someone to notice her that she wants to do something else in her life. She wants to break the rules.
It has been a while since I loved a female character as Callie. She isn't young and isn't going to be engaged any time soon. She was innocent, insecure, but at the same time brave. She thought very low about herself, but I loved the way she evolved into a full secure woman.
Gabriel is a dream come true. Really, he is sexy and totally the bad boy. I was crazy about him. He is wicked and naughty and when he sees Callie, he just can't believe someone as her is wanting to break the rules. So they make a deal, he will help her does what she wants, while she teaches his sister the rules of London's society.
Sarah MacLean definitely knows how to write romance. I felt excited with their relationship (stomach butterflies and all), it was romantic but with the right amount of sexiness. They are definitely one of my favorite couples, I was desperate for them to be together and was mad every time one of them misinterpreted the other.
Overall, Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake is an excellent first book for the Love by Numbers series. I just started reading it and couldn't stop. If you are wanting to read historical romance but aren't sure where to start, I recommend it to you. by Maria Guajardo (GABY)under review
