“Lord Nicholas is a paragon of manhood. And his eyes, Dear Reader! So blue!” Pearls & Pelisses, June 1823

Since being named on of London’s “Lords to Land” by a popular ladies’ magazine, Nicholas St. John has been relentlessly pursued by every matrimony-minded female in the ton. So when an opportunity to escape fashionable society presents itself, he eagerly jumps—only to land in the path of the most determined, damnably delicious woman he’s ever met!

The daughter of a titled wastrel, Lady Isabel Townsend has too many secrets and too little money. Though used to taking care of herself quite handily, her father’s recent passing has left Isabel at sea and in need of outside help to protect her young brother’s birthright. The sinfully handsome, eminently eligible Lord Nicholas could be the very salvation she seeks.

But the lady must be wary and not do anything reckless…like falling madly, passionately in love.

Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord is book two in the Love by Numbers series by Sarah Maclean. This is Lord Nicholas St. John’s story. Nicholas is a complex character and I enjoyed discovering him. There are numerous steamy scenes. The following is one of my favorite quotes. “Do you? Do you know how much I want you?” She could not look at him. “Yes.” She felt his thumb run over the soft skin of her wrist, the maddening touch setting her pulse racing. “How do you know?” The whisper, dark and coaxing, gave her the courage to look up at him. His eyes were dark – too dark to make out their color in this light – but she could read his thoughts. “Because I want you, as well.” I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
