Viola
Carlyle was kidnapped as a child and is now back in England after Jin Seaton
finally found her. Brought back kicking and screaming after being raised by her
biological father on the seas, Viola would rather wear pants and sail away on
her ship rather than making her way through proper society like she is expected
to do now. Jin Seaton is determined to not let this hellcat steal away with his
heart but there is something about feisty Viola that calls to him on many
levels. Determined to live life on her own rules, Viola finds that falling in
love never felt so right or was so wrong.
I
absolutely adored HOW TO BE A PROPER LADY. It had an unconventional
heroine in Viola who was as tomboyish as you can get and a sexy hero named Jin.
Both main characters are intriguing by themselves but together are combustible.
Sparks fly between the two and I was on the edge of my seat wondering if Viola
and Jin would finally admit their feelings for one another or would they be
silent and lose the one person that captured their heart. Ms. Ashe delivers a
stunning sequel to When a Scot Loves a Woman and this is one action
packed story from start to finish. It is every bit delicious as it sounds on
the back cover and frankly, I just couldn’t put it down. Who knew I loved
unconventional main characters so much?
Ms.
Ashe delivers a strong action packed story that seamlessly goes from shipboard
to the glittering ballrooms in regency England with ease. Her characters are
interesting, complex and enchanting. Her story flows smoothly with the right
amount of tension between Viola and Jin to Viola hating the all the rules
society has placed on her. This is an author who knows her characters inside
and out and keeps them strong throughout the story. There is no flip-flopping
in their nature, which I loved. It was nice to read a historical romance with
such strong characters that stay the course until the very end of the book. The
secondary characters keep the story moving nicely and are perfect counterparts
to the main characters of Viola and Jin. I was even intrigued by a few of them
myself. It is rare to see two characters such as the two here (Viola and Jin)
that had shared histories and that is what sets them apart from other
historical books. That and their intelligence with a hint of humor laced
through it. Ms. Ashe does a wonderful job in keeping the reader glued to the
pages of HOW TO BE A PROPER LADY and I can’t wait to read book one, When a
Scotsman Loves a Lady, to see how this series began.
If
you enjoy entertaining characters, a strong storyline and simmering sexual
tension between two wonderful characters, then grab this latest in the Falcon
Club series and settle in for one rousing wild time. I highly recommend this
one for any lover of historical romance stories.
