A GENTLEMAN NEVER SURRENDERS is the second book in the Sins
and Scandals series by Lauren Smith. Some of the
characters
from the previous book are mentioned in this one, so it's
nice to catch up with them, but it's not necessary to have
read the first book in order to follow and enjoy this one.
Rowena Pepperwirth is a sweet young woman about to make her
debut into society. Owen Hadley needs a wealthy wife and has
tried many ways to woo women. They all know that he is in
dire straits and needs a rich woman's dowry, therefore
gaining a wife the normal way isn't going to work for Owen.
He decides the best way to make sure Rowena will be his, is
to compromise her. With that in mind he attends a house
party that she has been invited to as well, he sneaks into
her room after midnight, making sure that somebody would
discover him there. To his delight, his plan works when he
is indeed discovered in a woman's bedroom, but to his
horror, it isn't Rowena's bedroom. It is her sister
Mildred's room he has entered. She is the starchy, prudish
older sister and certainly not the woman he would ever
choose to marry, even for her money.
The choice is taken from him of course, thanks to his very
own deviousness, and Milly and Owen do indeed end up married.
What follows is the sometimes fun, other times moving
account of Milly and Owen discovering each have qualities
that are admirable to the other. Qualities that they both
choose to keep hidden from society. It isn't long before
they realise that they could actually be falling for each
other, but they both have reasons why they really don't want
that to happen. Could they really become a successful love
match, will they allow it, or will their they fight the good
fight to remain just friends?
I enjoyed Owen and Milly's story despite it not being quite
as exciting as the previous book in the series. I still
definitely recommend it and am more than ready to read
Rowena's story which is told next. There's a little teaser
to it at the end of this book, enough to make me very much
look forward to reading more.
Love is worth a little scandal.
Owen Hadley needs a wife. Preferably a wealthy one. Alas,
there aren't a great number of heiresses willing to marry a
rogue of no particular fortune---luckily, if there is ever a
gentleman capable of melting a lady's chilly heart, it's Owen.
Milly has had enough of the marriage mart. If matrimony
means giving up her freedom for a foppish husband, then
society can take their idea of marital bliss and toss it.
But when the ton's most notorious rogue mistakenly makes his
way into her bedchambers, Milly finds herself unexpectedly
and unwillingly at the altar . . .
Yet the more time she spends with her new husband, the more
Milly starts to wonder if the marriage she never wanted may
be the best thing that's ever happened to her. Now it's up
to Owen to convince Milly that what started as a mistake is
anything but---and that every night with him will be more
wonderfully scandalous than the last.
