Review & Giveaway : How to Seduce a Scoundrel by Vicky Dreiling

 

 

"Miss Julianne Gatewick is in a pickle. It started when her brother's best friend-for whom she's long nursed a secret tendre-agreed to act as her guardian for the Season, only to seduce her with a risqué waltz. But when the music stopped and the expectant ton waited for Marc Darcett, Earl of Hawkfield, to claim her as his own, he made his disinterest clear. Rather than succumb to humiliation, Julianne does what any self-respecting, recently discarded young miss with a wicked sense of humor would do. She secretly pens a lady's guide to enticing unrepentant rakes . . . and it becomes the hottest scandal sheet in London.

Every honorable rake knows that friends' sisters are forbidden. But suddenly Julienne has a spark of mischief in her eyes that Hawk can't resist. Try as he might to push her away, he spends his days listening for her laughter and his nights dreaming of kissing her senseless. He's always avoided innocents and their marriage-minded mothers, but has the man least likely to wed finally met his match?"

Review:

This is my first Vicky Dreiling book EVER and I was totally wowed!! I have never been a fan of historicals, but I am now that's for sure.  Not only did this book catch my interest but I became to look deeper into Romance as a whole that's for sure.

Julianne has gone to stay with Marc's Aunt Hester while her new sister in law is off having birth to her first child. Since Julianne is about to start her first season in London and she is having a coming out party that is really not an issue. She is more interested in her Brother's best friend. Hopefully, Marc can notice her and come to his senses before it is far too late. Now Julie is very much determined to finally win his heart and with Aunt Hester 's help and all the pieces might finally come together.

Marc has acted to a brother to Julianne almost all her life. Although he is to act like her guardian while she is there to protect her from all the rouges that would want her. Marc takes his job very serious and is always up for the challenge. He even gives up his playboy ways during this time. Can Marc be keeping the Rougues away  to have her for himself?

I !00 percent loved Marc!!!! I could not squeee enough in his behalf. If Julianne didn't get him I totally would have. LOL This book is more then enticing but has a special zing to it. I mean I never would have thought I would dig historical so much. Geez!! I felt like I was home after a long journey .

Vicky really did an amazing job in describing every single details. I could picture the time, dresses and the balls in every single detail! Just fabulous!! The characters were truly a treat!! Fun loving and exciting is the best way I could explain this wonderful story. I am now smitten over this series to go back to the very first one who started it all... The Duke.

Dreiling is now one of my favorite authors and I am extremely excited to welcome her to the auto buy list. Her writing style was fun and never over the top. I just couldn't help to laugh at the humor in parts of  the book..I am so looking forward to what she has to come to in the future. And I also want to thank Vicky for opening me up to a whole new world I could get lost in. Happy Reading !
