Synopsis: Lady Caroline Linford is horrified to discover her fiancé, the Marquis
of Winchilsea, in the arms of another woman. Unfortunately, Victorian society
considers such masculine peccadilloes a trifle; canceling their imminent
wedding would be unthinkable. But Caroline's wish is for the man she is to
marry to desire only her...and she seeks lessons in the art of romance from the
best teacher - London's most notorious rake.
Braden Granville may be a famous
lover but he has no intention of taking part in Caroline's scheme - until he
learns she has something he wants - the name of his own unfaithful fiance's
lover. As their passionate tutelage begins, sparks fly - and the lines between
teacher and student fall away. Now there is just one last lesson to learn - on
the subject of true love, the heart chooses its own unpredictable ways.
My thoughts: Educating Caroline was one of the most exciting books I’ve ever read!
We are presented to the sweet Caroline Linford, who discovers her fiancé in the
arms of another and, instead of crying, she looks for the Lothario of London,
Branden Granville – who is handsome, sexy and despite of all, very sweet – to
teach her the art of seduction. Branden,
however, doesn’t want to have a thing which such a prune. How is he supposed to
teach her the art of seduction? It
doesn’t even make sense! But, still, he accepts it, because she has what he
wants: the name of his fiancé’s lover.
Their
first lesson is the funniest: she gets to his office – he worked with weapon
production – sits down right in front of him, and, full of naivety, pull her
glasses out of her reticule and her little notebook. He just stares at her,
thinking “What in the name of God did I put myself into?!”. As class begin – he
was teaching how to have the best environment for seduction – she suddenly
asks: “Can we skip to the kiss part?”. JUST LIKE THAT! He almost chocked at
that one. She is asking him, the most infamous man of all London, to teach her
how to KISS PROPERLY?! Really?
As the lessons follow, both realize that something happens between them, but neither of
them wants to see much less accept it. The narrative get hotter e funnier page
after page, as well as their love. The book shows that it doesn’t matter how
you look like, how wealthy you are or where you came from, love can happen.
