Product description

From the Back Cover

Her proposition . . .

London Society is harsh for a young woman with no family connections who has to work for a living. But when Daisy Merrick is sacked from yet another job, the feisty and outspoken miss comes up with a plan that could give her a future beyond her wildest dreams. There's only one problem. Her success depends on a man, the most infuriating, impossible, immovable man she's ever met. His resolution . . .

Sebastian Grant, Earl of Avermore, is England's most infamous author. Known for his notorious reputation, he is more interested in play than work, and has no intention of cooperating when Daisy shows up on his doorstep with a mad plan. The provoking, fire-haired beauty stirs his senses beyond belief, and Sebastian knows he has only one way to stop her. Seduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this novel
Reviewed in Canada on September 25, 2014
The 2 main characters in this novel are so connected and believable. Their sparring, attraction, and love scenes flow seamlessly together making the reader feel like you know these people and are there watching and experiencing their life with them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Other books by this author are better
Reviewed in Canada on September 3, 2009
Things I liked:

-I definitely enjoyed Sebastian, despite his many flaws.

-Most of the book takes place in the English country side, which is described beautifully.

-I loved they way it ended. Perfect for romance lovers.

-I like that it takes place around the turn of the century. 1896 I think is when it's set. A lot of historical romances take place during the regency era so I was glad for a little change.

Things I Disliked:

-I have come to expect from this author witty dialog and laugh out loud situations. I didn't laugh once.

-Sebastian spends a lot of time dwelling on his tortured (which isn't really that tortured) past, it got a little repetitive.

-I found Daisy a little boring, the past 4 books of Laura's I have read I absolutely loved both the hero and heroine, not not this time.

- I had a hard time getting into the book, nothing really happens for the first half. It was really slow to start.

Overall only ok, but I should say every other book I have read of Laura's I have loved so I will keep buying her books in the future. I think I was so hard on this book because of that, I had high expectations for this one and they just weren't met this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars great read!
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2009
Verified Purchase
This is probably one of the best romance novels I've read this year. I'd say that the reason for that is that the characters are well-developed. Both were likable; though one is endlessly optimistic and the other deeply cynical, their philosophical clashes propelled the story keeping the back and forth between characters sharp. The author explored the process of writing; revealing the trials, hardships, exhiliration and doubt that comes with it. Overall, the book was a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pain and Pleasure of Writing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2009
Verified Purchase
Sebastian Grant, Earl of Avemore, is one of the greatest and most prolific writers of his generation. Which is why, after watching his abysmal new play, Daisy Merrick doesn't hesitate to slate it in her review.

But despite what flame-haired, outspoke critics might think, writing is the hardest thing in the world for Sebastian to do. Not even the chance to critique Daisy's work as she in turn helps with his, inspires him enough to write.

An offer of kisses and a hint of seduction, however, are something different entirely...

The fourth of LLG's `Girl-Batchelor' series ( And Then He Kissed Her , The Wicked Ways of a Duke , Secret Desires of a Gentleman ) focuses on the outspoken, forth-right Daisy, who can't keep her opinions to herself, nor hold down a job either. Yet at heart she's a dreamer and a romantic, who longs to become a published author herself. Sebastian is a true LLG tortured hero, but his struggles and his addictions, not to mention his strength and well-hidden romantic streak save him from unbearable angst.

Daisy's reactions to Sebastian and her stubborn determination to make him write again make her the perfect partner for him. Her optimism versus his cynicism, his perfectionism versus her passionate joy means that their every encounter sparks with wit, temper and heat. Together they make a good team.

Putting the pains of writing, perfectionism and obsession up against the joys of inspiration, success and love, the Girl-Batchelor series continues in fine style. Only LLG can generate this much romance and heat without a single touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underlines in my Kindle. Bummer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2016

I'm thinking, and here's a fresh thought, that 'underlines' in my Kindle book aren't so great. Erm, so sorry and this review may not be read by other Kindle readers but are you to deny us our voice? It's insulting and intrusive for you to do that. What's up with that?

I only hope the person reading this will forward my note. Regards, Marjorie

4.0 out of 5 stars Another abrupt ending . . . but pretty good all the same,
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2009
Verified Purchase
The hero is a recovering cocaine addict who had been a great writer early in his career but now is just a Has Been. The heroine is a down-on-her luck aspiring novelist whose outspokenness and attractiveness get her fired from every a variety of low-wage jobs. Finally she gets a lucky break reviewing the hero's latest play. Her review is unfavorable & upsets hero. Fate intervenes in the form of Lord Marlowe, a book and newspaper publisher and also the hero of the first Girl Bachelors novel, who decides to hire the heroine to help the hero finish the book he still owes the publishing company.

They end up isolated together in the country, sparks fly, they inspire and challenge each other etc etc. The dialog is witty, the developing relationship rings true and everything works beautifully until the ending. The conflict of the relationship is based on the hero's cynicism and inability to recognize his feelings even while he seduces the heroine. Without giving away any more specifics, the problem is not the conflict but the resolution. I would guess that readers will want the hero to suffer a little more and see a little more humility and growth after the way he had treated the heroine, ie; taking her for granted. The pacing was far too quick and didn't seem true to the earlier characterization of either hero or heroine. It actually felt like the author had reached her minimum page limit and decided she was done. UGH.

It feels a little ironic writing an unfavorable review about this book. Much of the plot centers around the conflict between writers and critics--specifically critics that don't have the right credentials to review books. LLG has a lot of quotes about the difficulties of writing beginning each chapter. One quote in particular rang true (not only regarding LLG, but all genre authors who must be given insane deadlines): that a writer begins an artist and ends a prostitute.

That said, LLG's latest book is well worth the time and money. I have enjoyed everything LLG has written and I look forward more and more from her . . .
