A Lady's Risk

The Gentlemen of London, Book 1

By: Felicity George

Narrated by: Laura Kirman

Never trust a rake...

Lady Margaret has devoted herself to taking care of her young siblings and the estate while her half-brother fritters away the family fortune. Upon Edwin's death, she learns he has left them destitute and, worst of all, at the mercy of a notorious and cruel rake.

Lord Nicholas would much rather be pursing women for quick sport rather than taking care of a headstrong debutante without any prospects, as well as her siblings. But Edwin saved his life once, and now he owes him a debt. Fortunately, all he has to do is find Meggy a husband, and his debt will be paid.

There's just one issue: Meggy is nothing like what he'd imagined. And the more time he spends in her company, the more he begins to wonder whether he's met his match...

Heartwarming, sexy and unstoppable, A Lady's Risk is perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer and Bridgerton.

*The first in The Gentlemen of London series*

Critic reviews

"A heart-warming and richly emotional debut that shines with sparkling wit, passion and fun." (Nicola Cornick)

"A delightful romance in which the spirited heroine has to decide if there are some things more important than love-or if, in fact, love encompasses them all." (Mary Balogh)

"Hero" was an untrustworthy, Crybaby weakling.

Disapointment. Author new to me, purchased due to an attached recommendation by Mary Balogh, a favorite of mine BUT I hated the book. Hero was a crybaby, throughout the book, whenever he failed to get his way, he actually cried and bawled over and over, plus as many so-called-heros do, also drank, pouted, isolated and verbally lashed-out at heroine, who made many unusually stupid choices. About 3/4 through book, she chose to deliberately go to Hero seeking 1st time sex (while planning to marry another) due to her physical attraction to him despite not wanting hero as a husband. since she knew he was an untrustworthy weakling. Skipped over rest of book, but seemed like more of the same, ending with the two married. However having such a husband was not my idea of a HEA. Also, I found the detailed sexual type encounters scattered throughout the book to be unromantic.
