Product Description

Book Description
Prudence Armitage is his dearest friend - until a compromising position changes everything.

Nicholas Parrish had no intentions of taking a bride, and certainly not someone like Prudence. Of course she's charming, pleasant and a diligent employee of The Ladies' Fashionable Cabinet, the magazine Nicholas and his sister run from his home. Prudence may even be considered pretty, when you look past the mousy hair and dreadful glasses. But when she falls asleep at her desk and remains in his townhouse all night, her irate father demands satisfaction. And being a true gentleman, Nicholas agrees to do the proper thing.

Though marrying Prudence never crossed his mind before, he has to admit there is an intriguing and desirable side to her he's only just beginning to see. But Nicholas may need to reconsider his plans for a marriage 'in name only' - especially now that Pru has decided to make herself totally irresistable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much of a gentleman, 6 May 2005
By A Customer
'Once a Gentleman' has a good start, showing the character of Prudence's unrequited love for Nicholas. He on the other hand sees her nothing more than his sister's friend.
The plot is quickly jumped into when after only one scene together, the next time Pru and Nick meet is when her father and brothers tell him he must make an honest woman of her.
From then on we have Nick, upset he has to marry someone who he doesn't want, yet unwilling to blame Pru; a perfect gentleman.
Unfortunately this gentleman is unimaginably awful at reading her body language; when she gasps at his touch, when she shivers at his kisses, when she tells him she 'is ready' for his advances, dear Nick decides he is moving too fast for the little woman and must slow down! And boy is he slow.
The chemistry between the two barely exists aside from when our gentleman decides to forge ahead in being from his point of view ungentlemanly-for goodness sake how ungentlemanly are you being by touching your wife who appears to be VERY willing! Exasperating.
The plot is padded out-a lot. Primarily with the whole 'I want her,' 'I'm moving too fast-back off time' then repeat. This problem could have been alleviated by Hern developing their relationship a little more before their forced marriage.
It's not a bad romance, but neither is it extraordinarily good.
