Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord<\/a><\/em> (2010) Sarah MacLean<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Ten-Ways-to-Be-Adored-When-Landing-a-Lord\"<\/a>Set in England and Yorkshire in June 1823.<\/p>\n

This book follows Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake<\/em>, and sees the other twin, Nicholas St. John, become a highly sought-after prize on the marriage mart. So when he’s asked to search for a friend’s missing sister, he gladly leaves London.<\/p>\n

Lady Isabel Townsend is impoverished, holding the family lands together by her wits and hard work, while her father squanders everything that isn’t entailed. Unfortunately for her, because her brother is a minor and she only a female, her father’s death doesn’t make things any easier for her.<\/p>\n

Especially since she is hiding a whole lot of secrets.<\/p>\n

There is much to enjoy about this book. For instance, Isabel’s brother:<\/p>\n

A young boy with a face covered in what looked suspiciously like strawberry jam. Nick was not entirely certain how to proceed under such circumstances, but, before he could say anything at all, the child took matters into his own hands. <\/p>\n

The door slammed shut as quickly as it had opened. <\/p>\n

\u201cTHERE\u2019S A MAN AT THE DOOR!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Nicholas’ friend Rock (who I very much liked, and am sorry he got such short shrift in this story).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would one need with a houseful of women? \u201d <\/p>\n

Rock set his book aside, leaning back against his chair and looking up at the ceiling. \u201cThere isn\u2019t a single reasonable answer to that question.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were things that bothered me about this story–not big things, just niggling little irritations that didn’t throw me out of the story, but nagged at me nevertheless, but the fact that Nick is so kind and generous allowed me to easily sweep them aside.<\/p>\n

(S)he redirected her attention to her brother. <\/p>\n

Only to discover that he was wearing an equally unlikely dinner ensemble: short pants, a dirty linen shirt, and an elaborately tied\u2014 if hopelessly wrinkled\u2014 cravat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a cute story, and I liked the characters and how they held so strongly to what they believed. It wasn’t the strongest story, but it was a pleasant escape.<\/p>\n

Please note: this is a boinking book.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
