Product Description

Product Description
A canny, successful businesswoman, Miss Jane Middleton goes to London in search of a husband - only to find herself virtually ignored by the ton. When she overhears the notorious rake "Hellion" Caulfield admit he is in dire straits, Jane concocts a daring business proposition: she'll pay Hellion to strike up a flirtation with her, thus bringing her to Society's notice, and attracting eligible gentlemen. The last thing she expects to find is that a deliciously skilful seduction is part of the package...Handsome and charming, the undisputed toast of the ton, Hellion has easily eluded the marriage trap for years. All the while warming the beds of countless attractive and willing women. But when Jane burst into his life with her outrageous scheme, her provocative figure, and a pair of captivating blue eyes, Hellion is stunned to realise that his jaded interest is piqued - and his desire ignited. In fact, his pursuit of her feels all too real. Is it possible that the ultimate bachelor has finally found his match between the sheets - and beyond?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not All That Wicked!, 25 Oct 2005
By Kristi Ahlers (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ms. Raleigh's latest effort "Some Like It Wicked" was not the strongest read in the world but it did have it's moments where it entertained. The problem that I found with this read was the fact that modern day thoughts and ideas kept popping up. This was derailing for the reader.

Jane Middleton has gone to London for the season with the hopes of finding a husband. This unremarkable girl knows her short comings and won't let them stand in her way. So when the perfect chance to finally be noticed presents itself, Jane is smart enough to act on it. The fact that she has to make Hellion Caufield the Ton's biggest rake help her is little to no big deal. She has something he needs, he has something she wants...what could be easier?

Hellion is now in dun territory and his prospects are looking rather dim. He has no desire to enter the marriage mart and he finds the young marriageble misses less than...inspiring. So when plain Jane comes to him with a shocking business deal his first answer is no way...but Jane is fresh, and unafraid to admit to her faults and the jade finds himself being drawn to the very thing he doesn't want. A romance. But will helping Jane help him or will he find himself in more trouble than he thought possible?

Jane and Hellion had the potential of being wonderful characters but Ms. Raleigh just didn't cash in all of the potential that was there. Add to this the concept of a regency miss traveling to London sans chaperone, attending balls and other society functions sans chaperone, and having a head for business (okay not that big of a deal but still) and you get the picture of modern day thoughts going into this historical read. In the end this is not a read I'd avoid as Ms. Raleigh is a fine storyteller but this effort was lackluster in attempt and execution.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wallflower and a rake, 14 Feb 2006
By Ladybubbles (Croydon, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
Miss Jane Middleton goes to London in search of a husband – only to find herself virtually ignored by the ton and relegated to a wallflower. When she overhears the notorious rake “Hellion” is in dire straits, Jane concocts a daring business proposition: she will pay Hellion to strike up a flirtation with her, thus bringing her to Society’s notice and to attract eligible gentlemen.

Hellion finds himself piqued by this outrageous offer, but finds himself doing all to put a spanner in Jane’s plan as he cannot seem to let her go…

The interaction between Hellion and Jane is quite amusing and you find yourself egging the characters on to behave more outrageously…delightful read.
