Lady Calpurnia Hartwell is a woman on the edge. Tired of being relegated to the \u201cspinster seating\u201d and of having a perfect reputation, she decides to take things into her own hands and live a little.\u00a0 She sits down and writes a list of the things she would do if she could act like a man. I loved the first item she writes on her list of adventures.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Setting the nib to the parchment, she wrote, her script strong and certain.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kiss Someone<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> She looked up as soon as the words were written, half-afraid that she would be discovered writing such a scandalous thing. Returning her attention to the words on the paper, she cocked her heat to one side. It didn\u2019t seem enough, did it? \u201cKiss someone\u201d didn\u2019t seem to capture exactly what she meant.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> Biting her lover lip, she added one word.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kiss someone \u2013 Passionately.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston, has an extremely wicked reputation that is mostly deserved. After the abandonment of his mother and the death of his father, he looks at love as something to be avoided at all costs. But fate has a way of giving us what we least expect.<\/p>\n<p>Ralston is shocked when he finds out he has an Italian half-sister who is coming to live with him in London. Not knowing what to do with her, he enlists the help of Callie in hopes that she can help launch his sister into society. Callie agrees to help as long as he gives her the one thing she wants to cross off her list first\u2026a passionate kiss.<\/p>\n<p>I loved this book. Callie is a fantastic character that comes across very modern even within the historical setting. She isn\u2019t happy being what someone else says she should be and sets out to find exactly who she is. She is a very strong and well written character. Ralston is a bad-boy, but at the same time Ms. MacLean wrote him with a vulnerable side that made me ache for his past and the little boy he had once been. These two characters were meant for each other and with every adventure, I wanted them to figure that out. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Readers who like <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Eloisa James<\/em><\/span> and her strong, spunky heroines will love<strong> Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Side Note from Bev<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to pipe in and say how much I, also, thoroughly enjoyed this book. It&#8217;s the kind of book I picked up not sure how I was going to feel about it. I certainly didn&#8217;t expect to love it as much as I did.<\/p>\n<p>Ralston is the quintessential rake but fully characterized so I wasn&#8217;t rolling my eyes at what he said and did. When Callie goes to his bedchamber to get her kiss&#8211;you know, strike that from her list&#8211;he kisses her briefly and she jumps back and tells him she&#8217;s satisfied he&#8217;s held up his end of the bargain (a kiss for his sister&#8217;s introduction into society). His response was to kiss her again, much longer, much deeper.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>His lips curved at her ear as he spoke, his harsh breathing making the words more a caress than a sound, &#8220;Kisses should not leave you satisfied.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He returned his lips to hers, claiming her mouth again, robbing her of all thought with a rich, heady caress. All she wanted was to be closer to him, to be held more firmly. And as though he could read her thoughts, he gathered her closer, deepening the kiss. His heat consumed her; his soft, teasing lips seemed to know all her secrets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When he lifted his mouth from hers, she had lost all strength. His next words pierced through her sensual haze.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;They should leave you wanting.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ralston is a wonderful hero who doesn&#8217;t love Callie from the start. She doesn&#8217;t possess the kind of physical beauty that will turn a man&#8217;s head.\u00a0 No, he grew to love her as she grew to love him over the course of the book, by getting to know one another&#8211;and all that touching and kissing. They have this wonderful repartee and complement each other so well. I cheered for them for the entirety of the book and couldn&#8217;t have been more satisfied when they got their HEA.<\/p>\n<p>Ralston also has an identical twin brother, Nicholas St. John, who I desperately hope is getting his own book. I&#8217;m praying it&#8217;s <strong>Ten Ways to Being Adored When Landing a Lord<\/strong>. Yeah, say that 10 times fast. Kudos, Sarah!
