THE UNTAMED EARL is the fifth book in the Playful Brides
series by Valerie Bowman. I absolutely adored this fun,
witty and delightful book in this amazing series.
Lord Owen Monroe has been drinking, gambling and simply
being a rogue most of his bachelor life, but now his father
will cut his allowance if he doesn't get engaged in a month.
Of course his father has already chosen Owen's bride, Lady
Lavinia Hobbs, the daughter of the Duke of Huntley. So it
seems an easy task for a rogue to charm a beautiful lady to
fall for him, but Owen has not predicted Lavinia's younger
sister's plan.
Lady Alexandra Hobbs, the younger daughter of the Duke of
Huntley, has been in love with Lord Owen Monroe since she
has been fifteen years old. Marrying Lord Owen has been in
her list since her first glimpse of him from the window of
her bedchamber. But now her parents are planning an
engagement between Owen and her spoiled sister Lavinia. She
needs to come with a plan not to lose her love to her mean
and spoiled sister. Luckily her sister isn't interested in
Owen, so Alexandra feels less guilty to make deal with Owen;
she must turn him into a perfect suitor for her sister and
in return Owen helps her to become the belle of the season.
I must say I have read every single book by Valerie Bowman
and enjoyed all of her books. Her stories sparkle with humor
and her characters are absolutely adorable. THE UNTAMED EARL
is an engaging and romantic love story with mischievous
characters and a few well-meaning meddlers as secondary
characters. I love that all her previous characters are
still plotting in this book too.
I highly recommend THE UNTAMED EARL and can't wait for the
next one.
AN INDECENT PROPOSAL
Lady Alexandra Hobbs, the daughter of the Duke of Huntley,
has intended to marry Lord Owen Monroe since she first
glimpsed him from the window of her bedchamber, back when
she was just a girl. But the duke has already chosen Alex’s
infamously spoiled elder sister, Lavinia, for Owen. And now
there’s no turning back.
Owen has spent most of his bachelor years drinking,
gambling, and skirt-chasing. He won’t see another pound from
his parents, however, until he’s engaged to Lavinia.
Desperate, he accepts an offer from her innocent and
spirited―and absolutely beautiful―sister Alex:
She will
turn him into a perfectly tamed suitor, and show him how to
woo the shrew. But when Alex’s true motives come to light,
will their bargain lead to recriminations―or to a romance
that defies everyone’s expectations?
Award-winning author Valerie Bowman once again delivers the
romance and wit in The Untamed Earl!
