Brandon Sinclair is the new Earl of Vale after his
father's
death. The man left a lot of debt and in order to deal
with
that debt, Brandon must sell a very expensive painting
belonging to the family. He doesn't want them to know the
lengths he is going to, so he employs an artist to make a
copy of the original to be hung on the wall. Amelia
Somerton
is that person.
Amelia is a daughter of an infamous forger and she has
learned the trade from him. Brandon asks her to paint the
copy, plus he also wants a portrait of himself done.
Amelia
would have to paint him in private and is worried about
her
reputation. She is also attracted to him and worries
about
having to be alone with him. She would like to say no,
but
he offers her something that she could never have dreamed
of...art lessons from a famous artist. She can't refuse
after that.
The perfect situation arises where Amelia will be able to
paint Brandon's portrait, a house party. She can paint
him
at night when everybody is asleep, then sleep in the next
day as all aristocrats do. They spend a lot of time
together and find themselves falling in love. It's
something
they both need to fight because Brandon must marry well
in
order to keep the family out of debt. Brandon has a lot
of
responsibility and he can't give in to his own personal
needs, or can he?
Amelia is a very strong character, she is plain speaking,
honest, and doesn't play games. Brandon is a sweetheart
with
the weight of the world on his shoulders. He wants to
keep
everybody happy, and his family debt free. I could not
see
any way that he and Amelia could be together. They are
such
a passionate, perfectly matched couple. When I could see
how
things might work out I was so relieved. I couldn't help
but
laugh out loud!
REAL EARLS BREAK THE RULES by Tina Gabrielle was filled
with
love, passion, mystery, intrigue,
and much excitement. I loved every minute of it and
definitely recommend it!
It's worthy of 5 Stars!
1816 England
Brandon St. Clair, the Earl of Vale, has never been one
to
follow the rules. Even though he must marry a wealthy
heiress so that he can be rid of the pile of debt he
inherited with his title, he can’t stop thinking of
another.
Amelia Somerton is the daughter of an infamous art forger
and is not a suitable wife. But that doesn’t stop
Brandon
from making Amelia a different offer, the kind that
breaks
every rule of etiquette…
Sin runs in Amelia’s family. And even though she now
rubs
elbows with the aristocracy, she knows the truth—she has
the
ability to forge priceless works of art. She’ll never be
seen as an acceptable wife, not that she wants to marry,
anyway. So when the earl scandalously offers her the one
thing she’s always dreamed of, she can’t help but take
it.
But what begins as a simple arrangement, soon escalates
into
much more, and as the heat between them sizzles, each
encounter becomes a lesson in seduction…
