Swing and a miss for me on this one, folks. I believe in
being up front and honest in my reviews, so let me say
this: if you enjoy disgraced virgin reforms a
unscrupulous rake trope books, you may enjoy THE ART OF
TAMING A RAKE. If
you've read other Jordan books and enjoyed them, this one
is much the same as the rest of the Legendary Lovers
series. THE ART OF TAMING A RAKE is not a
bad book by any means, it is just not for me.
I could not care even a little bit about either the hero
or the heroine. If I had not been asked to review this
and had instead picked it up on my own, I probably would
not have finished it. Absolutely no disrespect to anyone
involved, but not all art is for everyone.This one
is just firmly not for me.
Venetia's life was ruined by Quinn when she was younger
and so she sets out to make him fix it. In the middle of
that, they get
caught in a plot where someone is
trying to kill Quinn and so they have to deal with that.
There's a lot of intrigue and some very well written sex
scenes as Quinn tenderly teaches Venetia her own body (as
is so often necessary in these stories) and reviews
across the internet tell me many folks love THE ART OF
TAMING A RAKE.
If you're one of them, comment below and tell me what I'm
missing!
Sparks abound in this sizzling new Legendary Lovers tale
from New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan, in
which a seductive rakehell must woo his spirited but
love-shy bride while unmasking a mysterious assailant.
Despite his notorious reputation, Quinn Wilde, Earl of
Traherne, has mostly honorable intentions. So when beautiful
Venetia Stratham boldly enters a gentlemen’s club, demanding
that Quinn stop courting her sister, he does what any
bachelor would do: He kisses her. With her sharp wit,
intoxicating passion, and surprising vulnerability, Venetia
is irresistible—except for all this nonsense about
threatening to shoot Quinn. But when clandestine enemies
make an actual attempt on the earl’s life, Venetia is
implicated. To save her good name, Quinn does what any true
gentleman must do: He proposes.
Thus Venetia finds herself wed to arrogant, wickedly sensual
Quinn, whose devilish ways are as legendary as his rumored
skills as a lover. Yet vexingly, her body rebels against her
vow to remain immune to his many charms. If only she could
reform the infuriating nobleman—without diminishing his
undeniable allure. As Venetia discovers that a true rake is
hard to tame, Quinn faces an even greater challenge: winning
his wife’s fragile trust . . . while defending both their lives.
