John Parker-Roth cannot believe that marriage is necessary for his happiness. He would far rather pursue his interest in horticulture, but if one day he should find a female who shared his passion for flowers - a level-headed, calm sort of female - he might reconsider. Certainly the lovely young woman who has just tumbled into his lap will not do, as she possesses neither of those admirable qualities. Yet Miss Margaret Peterson does have many things in her favor. To begin with, she is a true English rose, blushing a delectable pink. And she is not entirely clothed. Her full mouth begs to be kissed. If only she would not wriggle so...oh, dear. He cannot ignore the sudden vision of her in his bed, but he must.What? Is Meg actually asking him to kiss her? Well, well, well. John Parker-Roth is a gentleman, first and foremost. And he cannot turn down a lady's request...

Sally MacKenzie is just a wonderful author. All her "Naked" books are very well written. It's always a pleasure to read Sally's works - they lift me when I'm down, and make me laugh at loud!

Awkward and poorly written..

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I picked this up while out shopping one day, hoping for a few hours of light entertainment. Well, it started out good, quirky and funny, I enjoyed both characters, Meg and John. I was excited for the remainder of the book, however it quickly took a nose dive from there. The characters meet in another book, then meet back up and get "Close" in the first 50 pages, but don't come face to face again until page 200! In the mean time we are forced to read about almost 5 different subplots, multiple characters, and a lot of stuff from previous books that i had not read. By the time they get back to the main guys, I had lost interest. Both characters were whiny and rather pathetic, and the plot was flimsy at best. (The leading lady is compromised in the first 20 pages, but refuses to marry the guy, although she is still looking for a husband, it's weird) The plot is forced, the characters are flat and whiny, and I found myself skipping pages towards the end, just wanting it to finish. It did, thankfully. I wouldn't recommend this book, unless you have read the other ones in the series and enjoy her work, but I won't be buying any more of "the naked...." series ever again!

Sexy and laugh-out-loud funny

Meg Peterson has decided she's ready for marriage and she's developed a plan to make it happen. One by one, she lures possible suitors into the gardens at the many events in the Regency Ton. But when Viscount Bennington decides to push matters and Meg is rescued by the one man she really doesn't want to consider, her reputation is ruined and sexy John Parker-Roth, the man who rescued her from the Viscount but who then proceeded to utterly ruin her reputation by sitting her on his lap is linked with her ruin.
Parker-Roth is nothing if not a gentleman. He knows that any woman of society would prefer a title, and he was already abandoned once on the altar by a woman who found a better (and titled) match. But he's still flabergasted when sexy Miss Peterson turns him down. After all, she didn't seem to mind the kisses they shared and it is her reputation in tatters. It can only mean he was right all along--marriage is a necessity for a man with a title. For a mere gentleman, it's an inconvenience, a leg-shackle. As soon as he can get his mother situated, he'll head back to the country where he belongs, where he can work with his plants. Except fate, his mother, and Meg's relatives seem intent on throwing Meg and him together. While his resolution is firm, his body has other ideas.
Author Sally MacKenzie spins another sexy and laugh-out-loud funny story of manners battling with libido set in Regency England. Meg, with her love for gardening, her habit of dragging potentially eligible men into the bushes, and especially her spirit, is an enjoyable heroine--if a bit of a ditz. Parker-Roth makes a wonderful foil--stiff and reserved, Parker-Roth never knows what's hitting him and his own feelings are more of a mystery to him than just about anything else in the world. Without the relatives and Scottish servants who populate the novel, it's likely that Parker-Roth and Meg never would find the happiness they both so desperately want--even when Meg manages to ruin Parker-Roth's reputation even more completly than he ruined hers.
If you're looking for a sexy and breezy regency-era romance, do yourself a favor and check out THE NAKED GENTLEMAN.

Save Your Money

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Save your money and do not buy this book. It is childish and poorly written, not counting the fact that it goes on and on and on about the same thoughts each character is having. I usually pass on books I have read to my friends but this one went into the trash after I forced myself to finish it.
