Sex and the Single Earl - Vanessa Kelly

Description:

Their marriage was convenient...
Simon St. James, fifth Earl of Trask, knows he could do worse in the marriage of convenience department. Sophie Stanton may be a bit of a social liability, with her ungovernable ways and flighty nature, but Simon has responsibilities as an earl that far outweigh happiness in the household. And as for happiness in the bedroom...he has to admit he sees Sophie's potential in that arena...

Their passion was not!
But Sophie isn't some bargaining chip to be traded, and she's not about to let Simon St. James tell her how to live her life-even though she has nurtured a crush on the handsome young earl for as long as she can remember. If his idea of courtship is telling her what to do, then she is not interested, or at least she is trying not to be. But when his scolding words turn to scorching kisses, suddenly Sophie starts paying attention...

First of all this is my first book by author Vanessa Kelly. I am glad to find out that she only has one other book published therefore making the reading of her backlist very simple indeed, LOL!!


I completely adored this book!! I loved how Simon was all "I'm a great big Earl...grrr" and how he absolutely wanted to refrain from any scandal but in the end he ends up falling in love with a girl who can't seem to keep gossip from following her but ultimately has a big heart and loves him very much.


He also is determined to only care for her and want to keep her safe being how their families are generations old friends. BUT he also wanted the lands which is part of her dowry. As we know in the end everything about her from her spectacles to her resolve in wanting to rescue two poor children makes his icy facade crumble and he becomes madly in love with her.


With witty and sometimes goofy secondary characters and a villianess who I would have liked nothing more than to "box her ears" was the perfect combination!!


This in all does not even mention the HOTNESS of this book...WOWZA talk about steamy, LOL!!!
