found this book to be ok, The plot moved along at a good pace, I just didn't connect with the characters, The chemistry was lacking. Overall a short a sweet book, light on plot, Light on character development. Very little conflict and what there was was easily resolved,sexy scenes. Overall Id say it was cute but not something Id read again, THE WOOING OF A WAYWARD LORD : this is my second book by this author, The story of LORD DE WINTER and GEORGIANNA moves very quickly, She is the niece of a lady who has slept with DE WINTER for years, He is down to his last few schillings, having gambled away his sisters dowry, There were many lost opportunities for an interesting story, they seemed to have been ignored for expediency, Its a quick romp. For money
There comes a time in every spinster's life when she accepts there is no white knight riding to her rescue, When Miss Georgiana Conley's infamous, wealthy aunt offers to make her an heiress in exchange for her company, Georgiana is relieved she will no longer burden her impoverished family.
But though her scandalous aunt has retired to the country, she's not quite as lonely as she's led Georgiana to believe,
She has a beau,
Stephan Laurent, Lord de Winter, is handsome, charming, and suspiciously devoted to a woman twice his age, He must have designs on Georgiana's inheritance, Though she immediately vows to chase the silvertongued fortune hunter away, she soon questions whether she is protecting her aunt, her inheritance, . . or her heart. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, All thoughts and opinions are my own,
Thank you to Intrepid Reads for providing me this arc via Netgalley!
I didn't enjoy this at all, The characters were boring, didn't really have chemistry and I couldn't connect, The Wooing of a Wayward Rogue by Emma Locke
Georgiana is out of options, She has helped to raise her four younger sisters and doesn't want to be a burden to her brother, since she is a spinster, She is from a poor family in England and has no prospects for a husband, She decides to make a bargain with her scandalous Aunt Millie to become her companion, so that when Aunt Millie passes on, her estate would go to Georgiana.
Georgiana literally runs into Stephan Laurent, Lord de Winter at her Aunt Millie's house, when she arrives, to stay, It is a most uncomfortable situation,
Lord de Winter must marry a wealthy heiress, to satisfy
his debts, particularly to his beloved sister Cassandra, He and Millie decide for him to sponser Georgiana and her younger sister Abigail, to launch them on the world and give both of them the wonderful opportunity to make a match with a dashing bachelor.
That's when things get interesting,
The story is likeable, except, the names seem to be interchangeable, Bothers me when that happens, especially in eBooks, There is also raunchy, explicit sex in the book, Don't care for that, if I had known it was a part of the book, I never would have agreed to read it, Doubtful that I will read anything further in this series or by this author, It is also quite short, I like books that are approximatelypages,
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy, I was under no obligation to post a review, A penniless spinster at five and thirty, is on her way to live with her aunt, a former courtesan, Stopping at an inn to rest, she meets a most striking young man, Stephen, Lord de Winter, She is smitten, he is intrigued, Pressured by his sister for money, she wants him to marry an heiress, he wants to marry for love, A faced paced story of a most unlikely couple to fall in love, Well worth waiting for the publication of this book,

This is the seventh book in the series but is easily read on its own, Whilst I liked Georgiana amp Stephan I didnt love them amp I felt that there wasnt much chemistry between them, I started the book amp found my interest wandering so I left it for a while amp went back to it but again my interest was tepid.
I did like the premise of Stephans devotion to Millie amp Georgianas reactions amp assumption,
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read Emma Locke is a USA Today Bestselling Author of smart, sensual Regency romances, Her current books make up the Scandalous Spinsters series, a double trilogy featuring three courtesans and three country hoydens who marry into the notorious Alexander family.
