Delia Somerset despises the wealthy ton, but wanting to
please her sister who wants to escape the family scandal,
Delia agrees to attend a house party at the Sutherland
estate. She wants to avoid the ton at all costs, but a
chance meeting between her and Alec Sutherland, Lord
Carlisle, changes everything. Believing Alec is seducing
her, Delia devises her own plan to seduce him first, but her
plans get derailed when their game brings feelings to the
surface neither one anticipated.
A WICKED WAY TO WIN AN EARL is the first book in the
Sutherland Scandals series by Anna Bradley. Delia is
charming and witty and her vulnerability mixes with her
independence, creating a delightful heroine. Alec is a
dashing hero, and readers will enjoy the mix of emotions he
experiences after meeting Delia. Loyal to his family, a
tease to Delia, and with a droll sense of humor, Alec is
everything a reader could ask for in a romance hero. The
dialogue is filled with witty banter that will have readers
laughing and smiling during the back and forth wordplay.
Alec's brother and two sisters are delightful secondary
characters who bring both humor and reflection to A WICKED
WAY TO WIN AN EARL.
The house party setting gives an intimacy to the story, and
the romance is steamy and smoldering. A WICKED WAY TO WIN AN
EARL is a great start to what I believe will be a
fantastic series of fun and witty romances, enthralling
characters, and enchanting settings.
A tantalizing new Regency romance filled with the most elegant society—and the most forbidden desires…
England, 1811. Delia Somerset despises the privileged ton, but her young sister, Lily, is desperate to escape their family’s scandalous past and join high society. Unwilling to upset her sister, Delia reluctantly agrees to attend a party at the Sutherland estate—and avoid the gossip at all costs.
Alec Sutherland is known as a hot-headed scoundrel, but nothing gets a rise out of him as much as the news that his brother desires Delia’s hand in marriage. She is, after all, the daughter of the London belle who soiled their family name. He’s determined to ruin her reputation as well, in the most delicious way possible. It’s only a matter of time before he can woo her with his irresistible advances.
As Delia devilishly plays along in Alec’s game, determined to prove the joke is on him, they inch ever closer to repeating history. And in this game of seductive glances, scandalous whispers, and old debts, the outcome might be much more than either of them anticipated…
