Book Description

1 Jun 2011 Regency Rogues Novel
Filled with espionage and intrigue, Stefanie Sloane’s witty and sexy debut is a Regency historical—the first novel in a back-to-back Regency Rogues trilogy that features seductive spies and the ladies they must protect.

Lord William Randall, the Duke of Clairemont, is a rake with little regard for society—a most unlikely suitor for Lady Lucinda Grey. But his latest assignment for the Young Corinthians, an elite spy organization, involves protecting her from a kidnapping plot. To do this, the notorious “Iron Will” must use his devilish charm to seduce Lucinda and convince her he’s worthy of her attention. William never planned to become enthralled by the lovely Lady Grey—or to lose his own heart in the bargain.

Beautiful and fiercely intelligent, Lucinda has managed to gracefully sidestep even the most persistent suitors. Until the Duke of Clairemont, that is. She’s tempted by his sinfully sensuous mouth and piercing eyes, and finds it hard to resist the champion thoroughbred he offers her in exchange for the honor of courting her. Can she keep him at arm’s length when his touch begs her to let him so much closer?

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice start to the series 26 Mar 2011
By Book and Dog Lover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Lady Lucinda Grey is the wealthiest woman in England. She's 26 years old and therefore, "on the shelf", extremely beautiful, and has no interest in marriage as she doesn't believe in love. Instead of love and marriage, Lucinda is more interested in helping her aunts (known as "The Furies" because they have quite the personalities) with their horse breeding program.

William Randall ("Iron Will"), the Duke of Claremont, is not interested in his ducal responsibilities as he has family issues (his father was a tyrant and his mother did nothing to help). So instead, he's a spy for England for the Young Corinthians group. His "cover" is to be a rogue/rake. His new assignment is to protect Lady Lucinda. It seems that an evil man named Garenne is intent on kidnapping Lady Lucinda for France. To make sure that doesn't happen, Will decides he'll court Lady Lucinda so that he can stay close to her.

Lady Lucinda has no interest in being courted. To get her interest, he tempts her with his horse. He'll give her his horse, one that Lady Lucinda wants very badly for the breeding program, if he can court her for 3 months. If, at the end of 3 months, Lady Lucinda won't marry him, she can have his horse.

What follows is Will trying to protect Lucinda while trying not to lose his heart (as of course, he doesn't believe in love or marriage either), while Lucinda fights her feelings for Will. Will also needs to deal with his family.

Though the plot isn't too original, I thought it was a well-written first novel, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series (This is the first in a series with the heroes all spies for the Young Corinthians group). I enjoyed it, though I would have enjoyed an ending that didn't seem so rushed - I would have liked even a few more pages. If the "heat" of a book matters to you, sensuality-wise, I would rate this as warm.

3.0 out of 5 stars The majority of the book is good, but I found the ending terribly disappointing 20 April 2011
By Charly T. Anchor - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.

Rating: 6/10

PROS:
- There's a fair amount of intrigue along with the romance, and I wasn't able to predict much of the storyline, which was a welcome change for me.
- Sloane does a good job of conveying Will's and Lucinda's disgust with societal customs without making either one seem overly cynical or unapproachable.
- There are quite a few little amusing moments. One of my favorites early on occurs when Will arrives at a party and the crowd parts before him, at which point he mutters, "I am apparently Moses."
- Both Lucinda and Will have servants and friends/family who I liked very much. I enjoyed the scenes when the two are apart almost as much as the scenes in which Lucinda and Will are together.

CONS:
- The ending (by that, I mean the final 30 pages or so) fell terribly flat for me. The final confrontation with the villain is anti-climactic, there are several plot points wrapped up too neatly in a brief "here's what happened on this and this and this account" epilogue, and the romance wraps up too quickly with very little expansion upon the long-awaited emotional confession of one of the characters.
- There are a lot of little mentions of Lucinda's and Will's desire for each other, but there's not much payoff throughout the book. It contains two intimate scenes, neither of which had much of an effect on me, and I was very disappointed not to see them make love again at the end of the story, when they're happily together for good.

Overall comments: I liked this book pretty well right up until the conclusion, which gave me the impression that the author was in a hurry to wrap things up. In fact, I was so disappointed in the various things that felt unfinished to me that I doubt I'll ever read the story again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Try... 31 May 2011
By Kellie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I took JQ's recommendation and pretty disappointed. This book is a OK first try. Very choppy between scenes and chapters. Not sure where the characters are and why they show up in the most strange places. The characters are not that good and I don't feel the connection between them. It hard to believe. I wanted to like the book, but had to stop before I even finished it. I hope the books planned to be released are better.
