Kindness can melt even the coldest heart if given a chance to ignite passion.
Never has LADY EUGENIE done anything untoward. Never would she have dared. Yet she suddenly finds herself in a most dire situation, unwed and with child.
Of course, no white knight rides to the rescue because life is simply not a fairy tale. Or is it?
Out of nowhere, the rumored Beast of Ravengrove, a hideously scarred earl who wanders his ancestral home at night—according to the gossips!—offers to marry her, promising her the protection of his name. Without an alternative, Eugenie reluctantly accepts, terrified of what life will have in store for her as the new Lady of Ravengrove. Yet, soon she comes to realize that there is more to her new husband than meets the eye.
ADRIAN BROOKS, EARL OF REMSEMERE, never wanted a wife, equally certain that no woman would ever want him. Yet despite his best intentions, he suddenly finds himself married to one such alluring creature. And what is worse: after years of existing as a mere shadow of who he once was, Adrian’s treacherous heart once again longs to live.
And love.
Out of the shadows, Adrian watches his young wife, her alluring gray eyes drawing him near. He knows he ought to keep his distance, but instead each day brings down his defenses a bit more. She is like a fairy out of legend, gentle and sweet, her shy eyes seeking his every so often, as though she, too, feels herself thrown off balance, her heart in danger of leaping from her chest.
But no lady could ever love a beast, or could she?
How to Tame a Beastly Lord is a sweeping gothic tale of overcoming the pains of the past, surrendering to forbidden passion, and letting the light back in. Immerse yourself in the angst-filled romance of this Victorian Beauty and the Beast retelling today!

BREE WOLF is a USA Today bestselling author and award-winning word wizard, who is rarely seen without a book in hand or fingers glued to the keyboard.
I really loved this book, but of course I’m in love with each and every one of this author’s books. In this one I must confess that I related to Isabella so much! She’s somewhat of a control freak like me. And I totally understand that it’s hard to let it go. Actually, Rowan needed a woman who took control of his life and wrenched him from the shadows in which he was much too comfortable. He needed to be managed and he was! I really loved the side characters as well, because in Lane’s books they are always as gorgeously fleshed out as the main ones. And I especially loved the ladies, the old friends of the late Duchess, who are always helpful and funny. A gorgeous, five star read!!!
This has been such a wonderful series, and this has to be my favorite story yet! Isabella and Rowan are pure delight! The storyline is charming and the clever dialogue and banter between those two make for a most entertaining read. She is a Duke’s sister and he, a successful hotel owner, yet nevertheless a commoner. He could never be accepted by her world, but their hearts say otherwise. I was rooting for them all the way, and enjoying every page of their romance!
Rowan and Isabella’s story is a little strange for the time period and I completely enjoyed it. Well written with interesting characters and an outrageous plot. This story includes some fun bits and steam. Another fine addition to the series from this author.
This instalment covers the twins finding their futures while saving their brother from being blackmailed into marrying someone he does not love. Will Isabella be able to steal the evidence and accept gossip is not her whole life. Will Rowan realise what is in front of him & accept he is worthy of the place his adopted family have gifted him. I found this a really fun witty story. Isabella is quick of mind and saves the situation often, and the steam is also there between her and Rowan. Even the sneezing attacks was charming. Really enjoyed this story.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I love this series, A Gentleman's Guide to Courtship, not only for its ironically-named sub-title, but also for its humor and heart. The Duke of Clearford, creator of the "guide" has pretty much given up on advising potential suitors how to court his sisters. The first three are married, and now it's Isabella's turn. Like the others, she's not particularly interested in marriage--and why would she be when she already has so much freedom?
Rowan Haws is not interested in marriage either, but a potential business deal requires marriage, so he convinces Isabella to play the part of his wife. This ends with predictable results. The way that Isabella can bend the rules of society to pull off this deception is what I find especially surprising.
Lane’s books are always filled with laughs, clever dialogue, and intense sex scenes. Her complex characters always experience transformations. Isabella and Rowan are no exception. Isabella learns she can relinquish the need to control everything because Rowan will be there to keep her safe. Rowan, who had vowed not to marry, takes a bit longer to transform. He needs to see himself as worthy of Isabella and accept the love and acceptance that has been offered to him by his adoptive parents. Then, he needs to face his fears of rejection from the upper classes. Yes, some will reject him, but he doesn’t need their acceptance. Isabella and the very large extended family forming around her will accept him with open arms as soon as he stops hiding. And as long as he has her, he can withstand the disapproval from those who don’t matter.
