What is a lady to do when her chosen rake changes her lessons in seduction to lessons of love? Book two in the Once Upon an Accident series Cecily Ware understands how society works. At the age of twenty-six, she has been around long enough to know that she is doomed to spinsterhood. But she refuses to go without ever knowing what it is like to be with a man. So she comes up with a wonderful plan to find a rake to teach her, complete with a list of possibilities. At the top of that list sits Douglas the Duke of Ethingham. When he asks Lady Cecily to waltz, Douglas never expected her to request seduction, or that it would intrigue him quite as much. With each glance, each smile, each touch, he finds himself falling under her spell, unable to resist her lure. In her he finds a soul mate, someone as lonely as he is, who understands his pain, and will give herself to him without demands or expectations. But as he finds himself falling in love, he also discovers a wicked plot to kill Lady Cicely. As they race to discover who wants her dead, they fall deeper in love, leaving them to decide if the lessons in seduction could lead to a lifetime of happiness.

A complete waste of money!

I love reading Regency Romances, but some are better than others. I have never read one written by Ms Schroeder before and I certainly will not be reading one again! Why did the author have to set this story in the Regency times when the banal plot seemed more suited to modern western world, such as Bridget Jones diary? Ms Schroeder seems to have very little grasp of how people behaved in those times, for instance nobody would say 'okay', and a Duke would certainly know who an Earl in the Beau-monde was.It was so silly and so un-erotic and so far from becoming one of my precious 'keeper'books that it became a'tosser'--and that is what I did with it half way through!

So agree . . .

I so agree with the previous reviewer but would like to add that at least there was some chemistry between Cicely and Douglas unlike the previous book. Perhaps the author will get better with time.

Lessons in Seduction-A Joyfully Recommended Title!

Format:Paperback
At age of twenty-six, Lady Cicely Ware is considered to be quite on the shelf. She's quite determined however, not to let spinsterhood keep her from knowing what it feels like to experience passion and she quickly comes up with a list of rakes that she believes will be able to teach her. She's always been halfway in love with Douglas, the Duke of Ethingham, so during a waltz she propositions him. Douglas is stunned when Cicely asks him to seduce her and quickly refuses. Although Cicely is disappointed she resolves to move on to the next gentleman on her list. However, very much against his will, Douglas discovers that he can't allow Cicely to be in anyone's arms but his. As they begin a sensuous journey, Douglas is stunned to find that every moment in Cicely's company makes him only want her more. As they finally begin to realize that they are falling deeply in love, Cicely's life is threatened and Douglas will do whatever is necessary to protect her. As the attacks continue can he find the person responsible before it's too late?
Without a doubt Melissa Schroeder gets better with each and every book! I love historical romance and admit to being a bit of a historical romance snob, so it takes a lot for me to truly become absorbed in a book in this genre. Melissa Schroeder's Accidental series has certainly hooked me and Lessons in Seduction is a scrumptious feast that all readers of romance will want to devour!
