They call him many names, but Angelic isn’t one of them . . .
Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the “Bane and Blight of the Ballisters”—and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He’s determined to continue doing what he does best—sin and sin again—and all that’s going swimmingly, thank you . . . until the day a shop door opens and she walks in.
She’s too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world . . .
Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she’s going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him—and with him, her family and future—means taking on the devil himself, she won’t back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible, and the person who needs the most saving is—herself!

I can not remember my feelings about this one anymore 😉
I have heard great things. We shall see.
I have a ton sitting on my e-readers! I'm going through them to take a new list of what is there and then I can see what needs to be added to my Goodreads TBR that I've missed! After that I can look each one up and decide what I'm keeping!
I have so many I can't even keep track of them all!
Oh gosh I have so many sitting on my kindle for the longest time too! Hope you get to and enjoy this one.
I am glad that I am not alone, Grace!
I ADORE Lord of Scoundrels, one of my favorite books from this author.
Good to know!
I read this book years ago and didn't care for it, but clearly I am in the minority! There is a lot of love out there for this book. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I at least feel like I should give it a try. Sorry that you didn't care for it, Angie Elle!
I guess I can't love them all. LOL But I would be interested in reading it again to see if my opinion has changed.
It's so darn easy to buy a book for your Kindle and then forget about it. It's not staring you in the face begging you to read it. I really need to come up with a better way of tracking Kindle reads so if you have a system, let me know.
I am thinking that I need to come up with some kind of system but don't know what yet. I found that I have more than one kindle copy of several books so I definitely need some kind of plan.
I have some that have been on my list since 2012 and working my way through them slowly. So many books to read……..
I keep telling my husband that I should retire now so I can read more 🙂
I have a lot sitting on my shelves too. I always plan on getting to them. This is a way to get motivated and I see it is working well for you.

I am having fun looking through what I have. There have been quite a few surprises so far!
I do have some fairly old books on my Kindle. I really need to make more time for them. I hope you can read this one soon!

I am working to read more of my older books this year. I am not sure when I will get to this one but I do want to read it.
I have so many books on kindle that I just haven't got to! I bet this would be a good audio book. Historical usually have fun accents. Maybe they have the audio version at the library? I usually get to books I don't have time to squeeze in by listening to them.
I bet it would be a great audiobook. I might have to look into that.
I'm pretty sure this one is in my TBR pile too. I probably bought it in 1995 though, lol!
I have books that I had for years, donated, and then have bought again. I have issues.
Oh I dont know about this one.
I have heard great things about this book, Melliane.
Is this a Regency era romance? I love the soft focus cover
It is a great cover. I am not positive that this is set in the Regency era but I do see that some readers on Goodreads have shelved it that way.
It looks great. I haven't read any of her books, but I agree that usually one can jump into a historical romance series out of order and do all right.
And, hopefully my link works to my Tumblr post. MacAfee has decided that Tumblr is unsafe and I can't even get it to set as a safe site or safe page even the one I created just last night. Grrr.
Anyway, sorry for the hassle if you end up trying the link and it won't work.
No problems with your link, Sophia Rose 🙂
I remember that a few reviews said it works great as a stand-alone so it should be okay to read on its own.
Do you think you tend to read more backlog books of this feature?
I have a good amount of backlogged books specifically from NetGalley that I plan on tackling this year. I really hope to get that percentage up. I have books in general on my tbr list from 2012 so I understand how you could have one from 2011. Time and new books can get away from you (;
I have read a couple of the books that I have featured since I started doing these posts. It is a nice way to give some love to the books I haven't had time for though.
That's great! I really want to read backlogged books. I think looking at them all brings them up in your mind more. That way you might choose them to read next. Great idea (:
I've never read this one.
Me either 🙂
I read very little historical romance. I don't like the typical imbalance in the choices of men and women. Of course, it doesn't seem to bother me in historical fantasy although women are often shown as strong or in some cases equals as it is fantasy. I hope you enjoy it. Anne – Books of My Heart
I like to read a mix. I don't read a ton of historical romance but I do enjoy it from time to time.
Yes, books like this usually stand well on their own. I haven't heard of this one. I enjoy historical romance from time to time. I can be really picky about it–more so than other types of romance. I am not sure why. I tend to do better with historical mysteries.
That's interesting. I think I am pretty forgiving with this kind of book.
I have so many freebies on my kindle that I haven't read. I need to give some of them a try.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
I have been downloading so many freebies for years and years. I need to be more selective and start getting some of them read.
I think I have about 200 freebies in my Kindle library. ?
I probably have 2,000 or more. I have issues.
