I can always count of a fun, adventurous story with plenty of tension, romp, and unexpected twists. The Wrong Marquess fits the bill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Elodie Parrish<\/strong> is our heroine and she\u2019s on the verge of spinsterhood. Pining away waiting on her neighbor and childhood friend, George, to propose to her. His lack of commitment is starting to bother her a bit, but not enough to give up on him completely. On the opposite side of things we have <strong>Brandon, Marquess of Hullworth<\/strong>, and \u2018London\u2019s Most Elusive Bachelor\u2019 who becomes a thorn in Elodie\u2019s side for thinking she wants to marry him and falling for her himself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soon Brandon is up to all sorts of ridiculousness in an attempt to be closer to Elodie, who sees his hanging on as friendship. He\u2019s bound and determined to show Elodie what she deserves and that it\u2019s him. Hijinks do ensure and of course the road to the HEA is as always, an adventure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elodie, or Ellie as her friend\u2019s call her, is a delight. She\u2019s that friend we all have who has plans for her life and is scared of everything, so she doesn\u2019t ever step a toe out of line. If she does bad things happen, like almost getting trampled by an elephant or a twists ankle. Brandon is her perfect foil in the fact he second guesses and distrusts everything, but when he finds out Ellie is incapable of lying or leading folks on, he becomes extremely protective of her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch these two fall for one another is a bit sweet at times and frustrating at others. The only thing that kept this book from a five for me is that childhood friend George does not get his comeuppance like I wanted him too. Ellie is far too nice to for anyone, but Brandon to deserve her and I really despised how the villain got away with his misdeed. Fingers crossed Lorret might give good ol\u2019 George what he deserves in a future book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you want a lovely story that reminds me of the <em>Bridgertons<\/em> and <em><strong>Julia Quinn<\/strong><\/em> books, this one is for you. I have to say that Lorret built a lovely hero in Brandon as well and I\u2019d take him in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ggdtEV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Vv1Zxf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-wrong-marquess-vivienne-lorret\/1137912253?ean=9780062976635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-wrong-marquess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vivienne_Lorret_The_Wrong_Marquess?id=CHoCEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wrong place\u2026 Elodie Parrish can feel spinsterhood breathing down her neck.

That\u2019s the trouble with waiting for the marquess next door her entire life. But Ellie knows if she gives him one last Season, he\u2019ll finally propose. The only problem is, her path keeps crossing with the arrogant Lord Hullworth, who is convinced she has designs on him.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The wrong time\u2026<\/em><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brandon, Marquess of Hullworth, never wanted to be \u201cLondon\u2019s Most Elusive Bachelor,\u201d or have a horde of hopeful debutantes and their scheming mamas follow him around. His past has left him too jaded to consider marrying any of them. At least, that\u2019s what he thinks... until he meets Ellie. She\u2019s quirky, opinionated, blushes easily, and drives him absolutely wild. The only problem is, she believes she\u2019s in love with someone else.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ellie never imagined that one sultry summer could change everything. But the more time she spends with Brandon researching her book on the mating habits of scoundrels, the more she starts to fall for\u2026<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The Wrong Marquess<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p> <hr \/> <p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 29, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>The Mating Habits of Scoundrels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Avon\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $5.99<\/p> <hr \/> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The Wrong Marquess is all sorts of right!<\/em><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m coming to view <em><strong>Lorret<\/strong><\/em> as one of my \u2018go-to\u2019 authors. I can always count of a fun, adventurous story with plenty of tension, romp, and unexpected twists. The Wrong Marquess fits the bill.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Elodie Parrish<\/strong> is our heroine and she\u2019s on the verge of spinsterhood. Pining away waiting on her neighbor and childhood friend, George, to propose to her. His lack of commitment is starting to bother her a bit, but not enough to give up on him completely. On the opposite side of things we have <strong>Brandon, Marquess of Hullworth<\/strong>, and \u2018London\u2019s Most Elusive Bachelor\u2019 who becomes a thorn in Elodie\u2019s side for thinking she wants to marry him and falling for her himself.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soon Brandon is up to all sorts of ridiculousness in an attempt to be closer to Elodie, who sees his hanging on as friendship. He\u2019s bound and determined to show Elodie what she deserves and that it\u2019s him. Hijinks do ensure and of course the road to the HEA is as always, an adventure.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elodie, or Ellie as her friend\u2019s call her, is a delight. She\u2019s that friend we all have who has plans for her life and is scared of everything, so she doesn\u2019t ever step a toe out of line. If she does bad things happen, like almost getting trampled by an elephant or a twists ankle. Brandon is her perfect foil in the fact he second guesses and distrusts everything, but when he finds out Ellie is incapable of lying or leading folks on, he becomes extremely protective of her.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch these two fall for one another is a bit sweet at times and frustrating at others. The only thing that kept this book from a five for me is that childhood friend George does not get his comeuppance like I wanted him too. Ellie is far too nice to for anyone, but Brandon to deserve her and I really despised how the villain got away with his misdeed. Fingers crossed Lorret might give good ol\u2019 George what he deserves in a future book.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you want a lovely story that reminds me of the <em>Bridgertons<\/em> and <em><strong>Julia Quinn<\/strong><\/em> books, this one is for you. I have to say that Lorret built a lovely hero in Brandon as well and I\u2019d take him in a heartbeat.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ggdtEV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Vv1Zxf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-wrong-marquess-vivienne-lorret\/1137912253?ean=9780062976635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-wrong-marquess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vivienne_Lorret_The_Wrong_Marquess?id=CHoCEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29546,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27381\/revisions\/29546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
