Lady Gabrielle thinks the easiest way of breaking off her engagement would be to get caught kissing another man. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself engaged to other man.

Lord Brentwood is out for an early morning walk with his dog when a beautiful woman comes out of nowhere with a dog of her own. In the early morning mist and with the sun rising, Brent finds himself kissing this mystery woman. All is well until her father appears along with her soon to be father-in-law.

Determined to right his wrong, Brent sets out to marry Gabrielle but she fights him at every turn hoping he will see how unsuitable she is. However, her plan backfires and Brent becomes more intrigued.

It is rare for me to immediately like the heroine from the very beginning but with Gabrielle I did. She isn’t some scheming debutante trying to hook a man, but a girl who didn’t think out her plan very well. She is more concerned with everyone else’s happiness then her own reputation. When she tries to push Brent away because she wants him to be able to choose his own bride is where I really fell in love with her.

I fell for Brent on the first page when he is out walking this little lap dog. Any man who loves a dog is going to be a good husband. Brent is that good guy you want to have as a friend. He cares deeply for his family and is very protective of them. Surprisingly, I found A Gentleman Never Tells more of a heroine driven romance but love Brent all the same.

I cannot wait to see more of Brent’s brothers. They are twins but have such different personalities but are almost like one person. They seem very mischievous and I loved when they stormed into Brent’s bedroom and had a whole conversation about him with out including him. They are the typical younger brothers, annoying their older brother and I already love them.

Fans of Amelia Grey’s The Rouge Dynasty series will enjoy seeing Sir Randolph Gibson. A Gentleman Never Tells picks up where An Earl to Enchant ends. There is absolutely no need to read the previous books but those who have read the previous series will enjoy seeing some familiar faces, like Lord Waldo.
