but rather boring and predictable, Interesting characters with a very predictable plot, I could write the rest of the book from chapteror so onward,
Still, not a bad read,.

A Book Obsessed Chicks Team Selection As always, Christi Caldwell, delivers a must read romance.
This is a perfect addition to the Lords of Honor series, It was a very quick read and I simply could not put it down, This was a very entertaining read that kept me hook turning the pages, What I really liked about this story is that it is really down to earth, She gives you characters you can relate to that are again just like me, Gemma is different from most lady she is special she wants a man who will let her be who she is and not a trophy on some gentleman arm with little brains and no say.
The ton hasnt not been kind to this wonderful lady she is outspoken, has book learning, she isnt pretty and most would call her somewhat ugly, This will be her third season with still not a husband in site, She has her sights set on her best friends brother who has been the only male to be kind to her, She doesnt have the best of luck or the best of timing, She gets herself into a few messes and has a hard time getting out of them,
On a chance meeting with a man she has never seen they come to odds and words fly along with a few sparks, Richard sees a women out alone which is not done, He questions her they both end up with their foot in their mouth, Richard would dearly love to have their tongues replace their feet, He grabs her and lays a powerful kiss on her lips, One kiss has her rethinking what she wants in life should she stay with her plan and marry the man she loves or does she love him at all Richard has his own demons he heart belongs to another or is he rethinking maybe he heart was never in it.
The author gives a wonderful plot which holds a powerful message, Sometimes what we think we want we really do not, Maybe the love one has is really just an affection of the respect they show us, Gemma and Richard have to work this out and deal
with the fallout if they ever get caught alone together, Gemma was really born before her time in a time where a woman isnt much more than an object to be seen and not heard, You dont have to be the best looking but the best on the inside where it counts to really find love, I found this author to be a refreshing delight as she brings you real people with real issues, There are misunderstandings that must work out as the author puts a few twists in their way, It is a short read one I read at one setting it truly was a great read that kept me entertained, This is the first book I have read from this author but I enjoyed it so much I went a bought a few more of hers, I hope you give this author a try I am sure you will enjoy her historical reads as much as I have,
Richard Jonas has loved but one womana woman who belongs to his brother, Refusing to suffer any longer, he evades his family in order to barricade his heart from unrequited love, While attending a friend's summer picnic, Richard's approach to love is changed after he shares a passionate and lifealtering kiss with a vibrant and mysterious woman, Believing he was incapable of loving again, Richard finds himself tempted by a young lady determined to marry his best friend,
Gemma Reed has not been treated kindly by the ton, Often disregarded for her appearance and interests unlike those of a proper lady, Gemma heads to a house party to win the heart of Lord Westfield, the man she's loved for years.
But her plan is set off course by the tempting and intriguing, Richard Jonas,
A chance meeting creates a new path for Richard and Gemma to forge but can two people, scorned and shunned by those they've loved from afar, let down their guards to find true happiness
Please notethis is a,word novella! I love a book where the heroine is not the most beautiful or sought after girl in the room.
This one is for the rest of us, For the smart, awkward girls those bluestocking, wallflowers who are overlooked or even taunted by others, How could anyone like that ever hope to find love never mind love with a soon to be Duke What chance did Gemma Reed have
Gemmas one ace is the fact that her best friend, beautiful Beatrice is the sister to Lord Westfield.
Gemma has “loved” him for all three of her unsuccessful seasons and this house party she was finally going to tell him how she feels, With her sisters help, she finds out that Westfield is fishing and she makes her way down to talk to him, Unfortunately, she misses him but find his best friend Richard Jonas, The two dont get along, yet when he kisses her they both feel something,
Even as Gemma is trying to make her feeling know to Westfield, those feeling are changing, She has finally met a man who sees her for who she is and likes her, Is there a chance for her, for them
When two people are made for each other, they see what no one else can see, They understand each other like no one else can, Gemma and Richard have both stayed at the fringes of society but thats where they found each other,
Once again, Christi Caldwell has created a wonderful story of learning to know yourself before you can really learn to love someone else, The characters are real with flaws and problems, This is a quick read and well worth taking the time, Although this is theth book in the Lords of Honor Series, it stands alone and you do not need to read the other before this one although if you liked this one you might want to go back and pick them up also.
Back to ballrooms and propriety and "not like other girls"! I've read other books by this author that were quite different but I guess my hopes for Not Like Other Regencies was in vain.
Only real upside is that this was a novella so at least the instalove and comedy of manners wasn't also drawn out by too much artificially inflated drama, Why am I still reading this series Well, because I bought it as a collected volume and apparently I'm on readingdecisionautopilot, Smashing Read!
Tempted by a Ladys Smile, bookof Christi Caldwells Lords of Honor series is and absolutely adorable read, A meet cute in the woods, that ignites tempers, a declaration of love to a mistaken identity, that ignites the spark, and a quietly spoken fact about horses that fans the flame of a love that is pure and unexpected to both Gemma Reed and Richard Jonas.
In fact, Jenna has been in love with her beat friends brother Robert, the Marquess of Somerset, Shes there to confess her feelings to him in the hopes that he will return those feelings and ask her to be his wife, Richard knows what it is to love and lose, after all, hed lost Eloise twice, First to the Earl, following her season in London, and then to his brother, He doesnt want to love Gemma, shes in love with someone else, his best friend in fact, But then love wants what it wants! This was such a fun, joyful novella! A smashing read! Christi Caldwell is a masterful storyteller, She write such strong, flawed and perfectly imperfect characters that draw you in from page one, Tempted is a beautiful story about finding the person who will love and accept you as you are,
