Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake - Sarah Maclean

Synopsis:

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club.

Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried—and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing.
But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss—to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston—charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.
If she's not careful, she'll break the most important rule of all—the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love . . .

All I can say is WOW, WOW and WOW!!

This book was wonderful!! I mean the chemistry between Callie and Gabriel is like an inferno and I was surprised I did not suffer from third degree burns while holding this book!!

I really admire Callie she is the odd girl out...the wallflower in love with the handsomest of men and thinking that nothing could ever come of it and deciding she really has nothing to lose she makes a list and determines to live life even it means stealing into the house of her long time love and demanding a kiss! And from there on out it is a war of passions and a war for Callie to win Gabriel's heart!

Full of funny, witty dialogue and memorable and lovable secondary characters this book is definitely worth the read. And WOWEE were there some hot, hot, hot scenes in this book....talk about deliciously, wicked and lushily fabulous. Gabriel St. John is one of those dark, brooding heros you can't help but love and Callie is just the kind of girl you would love to be friends with!

I must admit that after I read the last words I felt bereft and I immediately wanted to pick it up and read it again...thank you Sarah for making some of the most wonderful characters that I have read in a very long time. While it is hard for me not to say I love a book because I really do but usually the characters float out of my head but I have a feeling I won't forget these and with Nick's book coming out in October it is something I'm definitely looking forward to!

RATING: ***** (5 which is the bestest)
