A charming read 29 Nov 2006
By Chessy
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found this title a good, enjoyable read and not dull at all.

The characters were stimulating and likeable.I thought she gave the main male Lucien Balfour a very funny sarcastical personality which struck well with his female attraction for Alexandra Gallant.

The story tells the rake Lucien lumbered with his outragious widowed aunt and her tearful daughter neither he can stand and wishes to quickly marry his cousin Rose off so he can see the back of them. He hirers a disgraced governess Alexandre to make Rose marriageable that and to shamelessly get her in his bed. Mean while his aunt has other ideas which involve Lucien marrying Rose to gain his fortune.

Overall i found enoch has produced another enticing romance.

Yeah yeah yeah 29 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This reads like reheated leftovers. Been there before, come on, give us readers a break. The book is clearly a sequel and neither hero nor heroine is sufficiently compelling to carry a fresh book. The heroine is poor, but she compares her passion for the hero to her love of chocolate - something she wouldn't have tasted much, if at all, given how little money she has. There are numerous infelicitous Americanisms - if you are writing about Brits, for heaven's sake, call it autumn, not fall, and there were a heap of lexical anachronisms which jarred on this reader. I wouldn't care if the central love story pressed my buttons, but no, I found it just trite and lacking in conflict.

The hero, Lucien, is adorable 16 Mar 2000
By "dfischet" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The opening paragraph of 'RAR' sets the whole tone for the book. It also set the tone for the hero Lucien's character. He was witty without even trying and I could give this book five stars on the strength of his character alone. What an adorable hero! Looks, intellegence, and wealth. Heavens, what more could a girl want. Hey, he's also pretty darn nice too, even though he wouldn't agree. Did I mention loyal? Enoch really created one heck of a romantic hero here. Alexandra almost seems pale in comparison to Lucien (almost). But she too is an interesting character in a nicely written tale.

But 'Reforming a Rake' is Lucien's tale, I think. Some of his dialogue is just wonderfully witty. He believes Alexandra without question when she tells him what happens at her last position and the scandal that followed. If there was one thing I would wish to change about the book, I would like to have had Enoch attempt to restore Alexandra's reputation. She had done nothing wrong and I would have liked to have seen Lady W. bested. The old biddy!

So, RAR has a delicious hero, a neat heroine and a wonderfully nasty villian (that will surprise you). The two main characters really click, the writing is well done and the plot not too well worn. What more could a romantic reader want. Nothing terribly heavy here. And that's fine with me. Can't wait for the next book - this one about the Vixen. debbie

A witty and romantic read 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed this book so much that I read it twice in a row - the story and dialog are so good I wanted to be sure that I didn't miss anything! Alexandra Gallant and Lucien Balfour, The Earl of Kilcairn Abbey, are two "notorious" members of British society who come together when Lucien hires Alexandra to be governess to his intolerable niece. The immediate attraction between these two leads to lots of witty repartee, and some very heated moments. Although Alexandra and Lucien quickly fall in love, they must both shed their self-protective shells before they can commit to each other. Surprisingly, it is Lucien who breaks down first! I enjoyed seeing him do everything that he can think of (and he does some crazy things) to convince Alexandra to marry him. There are also some great supporting characters in this story, including two who do everything they can to foil Alexandra and Lucien's union. You'll love these characters and this book!

Great read 27 Mar 2000
By Bonnie Gilbert - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When the most notorious rake in London is in need of a governess who does he turn to? The governess with the worst reputation in London.

Lucien Balfour, the earl of Kilcairn Abbey, isn't delighted to have his cousin and her mother in his home to look for a husband. When he finds her lacking in the department of manners and style her places an ad to hire a governess. In walks Alexandra Gallant, a perfect governess with a not so perfect past. Lucien takes one look at Alexandra and wants her. Not only for his cousin's governess but in his bed as well.

Lucien and Alexandra play cat and mouse for awhile, but eventually the attraction to eachother wins out. The two fall in love. When Lucien proposes marriage Alexandra flatly turns him down and procedes to leave London. But Lucien has other plans.

Suzanne Enoch has written a wonderfully witty romance that is sure to please. Lucien will make you swoon while Alexandra will make you smile. Highly recommended
