She was not happy about her attraction to Ashe because she compared him to her late husband.
After some time she realized he was different, that there was a good man under the rake on the surface. When he proposed a business marriage she accepted, and soon discovered she was falling for him.

I liked the way that she was able to help him with the estate, and also that she cared enough to get him to talk about his past. I really enjoyed the final resolution to the mystery, though I felt bad for Ashe's brother. I'm looking forward to the final book in the series. A really good book. I wanted to study in Vienna, I wanted to go to Italy and study piano- A really good book. I wanted to study in Vienna, I wanted to go to Italy and study piano-making. I wanted to make the grandest pianos of them all. Her stories are character-driven and all I've read have a real sense of place.
I love that her characters often have knowledge of the world outside England and do travel quite bit. Eso es justo lo que me he encontrado en esta historia. Nov 21, Erica Olsen rated it liked it. This book, as well as the first one, had all I needed to escape everyday life. I love the time in which the story is set, I love the language of the time and so on.
The plot is very nice as well and of course we have a love story in the midst of all the action and so on. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to escape to another time and everyday life for a while. Jul 27, Lisa rated it liked it. Fast paced interesting story but pretty cheesy ending.
Oct 26, Sandy M rated it really liked it Shelves: On top of that, his older brother, the rightful earl, has had a break with reality and cannot take over. Then what Ashe learns once he arrives at Bedevere Hall only fuels his ire and his self-blame higher.
This is a man who loves his family. You see it in everything he does. Thus he takes the blame for all that has gone wrong in his absence. Therefore, Ashe is determined to bring his home back to its glory days to atone for his indifference since the break with his father.
Genevra is finally getting back on her feet after the death of her husband and the stigma associated with the tragedy back in Boston. Seduction is his plan, and the woman is not immune to him. I so enjoy that seduction. What I also enjoy is that these two give in to their desires rather early on, and not just once but a number of times. I rather like this departure from the sexual tension being strung out for three-quarters of a book, one lovemaking scene, and then we get nothing more before the end of the story.
Ashe and Genevra delight in each other and you get to be part of that, as well as see the change in them as their feelings grow. Their marriage of convenience takes on a new definition, once they acknowledge those growing feelings. Ashe takes steps to get Alex out of the facility Henry has put him in, paying off a doctor to keep him there. I had in mind that Alex would be perfectly healthy, everything he reportedly went through would be hoax, but Ms.
Scott heaps on the surprises as far as Alex is concerned, including at the end of the book. I am really looking forward to How to Sin Successfully, which features our third rake, Riordan.

How to Ruin a Reputation
I didn't realized it's a second book of the trilogy. Why, I bought it merely because I liked the title and the cover. Ashe's brother, Alex, reminded me of Ian Mackenzie the asylum thing, not the character. Both Alex and Ian were totally opposite. I was kinda hope there'd be a story about Alex, but in the end, it vanished. Anyway, I loved both Ashe and Genevra and their characters.
Their re It's been on my shelf for a year, out of nowhere I just felt like reading it and I loved it! Their relationship was quite sweet although I'm not sure that was the author's intention ; The plot was pretty entertaining although it left no mystery, and well, quite predictable. There's nothing really new. And it left me wondering a bit about the title, since the story itself didn't really emphasize about a ruined someone's reputation. At least I didn't see it as a main problem in this book.
But somehow I really enjoyed reading it that I couldn't put it down. I also hoped to catch a glimpse of Merrick and Riordan in this book, but well, I guess I have to get to know them by reading their books. Dec 14, Cindy rated it liked it. I listened to the audio version by Penelope Rawlins and her American accent was horrible. I almost gave up on the book after the first chapter or so. I'm an American, not a very young one either so I've heard a lot of accents in my day, and I've never heard one like that.
I don't know what region in the US they are attempting to portray, but its god-awful. Please people, if you're not from the US and think we sound like I listened to the audio version by Penelope Rawlins and her American accent was horrible. Please people, if you're not from the US and think we sound like that, you are unfortunately misled. The book is still only about 3. I didn't take anything off for the audio, which would not have been fair IMO.
Sep 28, Karyn Gerrard rated it really liked it. I was thoroughly enjoying this up until the end. When the book focused on Ashe and Genevra, it moved at a brisk pace. The chemistry sizzled, and I loved Genevra did not bother to fight the attraction. Ashe was a wicked rake carrying his own pain. I found the ending rushed, and the subplot fell a little flat, but that's me.
Feb 27, Carrie rated it it was amazing. I absolutely enjoyed this book! I loved the hero and heroine, and I must say its nice to see an American character in a regency that isn't the butt of jokes. Neva was everything a lady should be and brought some of America's best ideals back to England with her, making her a very interesting match for the scapegrrace Ashe.
Ashe was also a wonderful hero, secretly sensitive in a way that made me adore him.
