Description

In this sexy and scandalous historical romance the New York Times bestselling author of This Man delivers the story of a successful businessman as he’s pulled away from his work and under the spell of the alluring Taya Winter. 

Frank Melrose is on the cusp of taking his father's printing business global—the last thing he needs is the distraction of any woman, let alone the dazzling Taya Winters.

He's under pressure from the newspaper to unmask the mysterious highwayman causing havoc in Belmore Square, but his infuriating clashes with Taya keep slowing him down.

What's more, he's sure that the highwayman is right under their noses—and that exposing their identity will end not only his story, but ruin his family, too...

    A forbidden love between a rake and a lady. This felt like it started up right where book one left off, but switched focus to Frank and Taya. Frank has a reputation of a rake, but one look at Taya and that part of his life is over... except he doesn't even know it yet. And Taya is the mysterious sister of the murdering Duke. Together they make for an intriguing couple who fight the attraction they have for each other until it can no longer be denied. They go through a few bumps in the road with a mysterious highway gang ruffling the Ton's feathers. This made for a fun, fluffy historical romance read. Now I'm curious who Clara is going to be paired with in book three. And will Sampson get a story?

    A Gentleman Never Tells us the 2nd book in the Belmore Square Series but can be read as a standalone. While I must admit that historical romances are not my go to, as this storyline progressed I was very intrigued, engaged and besotted with this story. Frank and Taya’s forbidden romance was full of cheeky banter, temptation, scandals, mystery, plot twist, and a who done it element to it. While it was a slow burn at the beginning the back half of this story was romantic, a story of hope, love and redemption. Loved the push and pull between these two. They had a great arc. They say once you meet the right one, you will change. While Frank used a rake, a beautiful woman like Taya made him a better person, and a gentleman till the very end. Great listen on audiobook. Story was narrated by Daniel de Bourg, and he was just perfect. His accent, his characterization changes were welcomed and kept me engaged.
  • A solid book

    While this was a solid book, it just was not for me. I listened to the audiobook, which was only narrated by a male. This book will be enjoyed by someone who: -enjoys following a family through a series -enjoys the forbidden trope -enjoys a bit of mystery
  • Slow burn hot period drama
