Persuading Patience
Rogues & Gentlemen, Book 8
A shy, serious lord
Lord Percy Nibley needs a wife, preferably before his mother's nagging on the subject drives him to distraction. But being more comfortable with his rock collection than flirting, he's not having a lot of luck.
In desperation, the shy nobleman enlists the help of Baron Marchmain - Lord August Bright. August is nothing short of dazzling. Charming, witty and amusing, he's the darling of the ton, and a notorious heart-breaker.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun! - Once again, Emma Leech has written an enchanting, hilarious story that keeps you intrigued throughout the book. Full of drama, laughter, romance and a perfect ending. Amazon Customer
A woman with a mind of her own
August selects a suitable young lady for Lord Nibley; Miss Patience Pearson, a cool, level-headed woman, close to being on the shelf and with the reputation of a blue-stocking, meanwhile setting his own sights on capturing the heart of her vivacious younger sister, Caroline. But Patience is not easily charmed, guarding her sister with the tenacity of a lioness and August must be at his most devastatingly charming to get past her defences.
Having finally done so, however … August isn't at all sure he's chosen the right sister.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Settle back for another great read from Ms Leech! I loved this book. It went in a direction that I didn't expect! I could totally relate to Patience! Tall, not particularly pretty, outspoken, opinated! Loyal to her family! Emma V Leech knocks this out the park. Persuading Patience has become one of my favs in the series Rogues and Gentlemen. I highly recommend this book. Amazon Customer
**** Warning: This book contains a careful selection of quiet determination, resolute tight-lipped-ness and (almost) insurmountable levels of tension. Although coupled with the presence of occasionally descriptive sexual encounters, we are very pleased to highlight that this book - and series - is in no way verging on erotica. ****
