One Good Earl Deserves a Lover The Second Rule of Scoundrels Rules of Scoundrels Sarah MacLean 9780062068538 Books

In a time where women aren’t told anything about sex other than that they’re expected to take whatever their husband gives, Pippa is utterly clueless about what’s to come after she’s married. As a woman of science, that it just unacceptable. So, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover finds her in Cross’s office asking him to explain the finer points of bedroom activities to her. Needless to say, Cross is shocked by her request and turns her away. It isn’t until he realizes that she’s determined to know at any cost, and that he’s severely tempted by her, that he finally decides to give her lessons in temptation.

I absolutely adored One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. I love Pippa! She is me, if I were a sheltered debutante in 1832. We’re both scientists, and we both don’t like entering new situations without doing our homework first. She also shares my habit of only answering questions that are asked and not the ones that are implied. We’re very literal creatures. Pippa knows she’s odd, but the accepts that. She is who she is, and she’s not going to change. She’s also extremely honest, and will not renege on her promise to marry Castleton, even if she knows he’s not on her level intellectually. They both love dogs, and that’s more than she’ll probably have in common with any other husband. It may not be a love match, but she wants to be a good wife and mother. Hence, doing her own research on the matter.

Do be aware that One Good Earl Deserves a Lover involves cheating. Pippa is engaged, and she does go to Cross for information, which turns into more hands on lessons. He knows she’s engaged, but goes along with it anyway. I don’t mind cheating, as long as the author doesn’t try to justify it by making the person being cheated on evil and “deserving” of it. That doesn’t happen here, and I really liked how it was all resolved. Pippa gets more than she bargained for, but like I said, she’s extremely honest. She’s not one to enter a relationship with lies, and I liked how she and Castleton handled her indiscretion.

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover also made me laugh out loud and smile a ton. Pippa is just so innocent and determined to learn. When Cross initially dismisses her, she decides that a prostitute would likely have the answers she’s looking for, too! Her scene with Sally is hilarious! Then her first lesson with Cross nearly had me swooning! Those two have amazing chemistry!

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover was just great. The characters were likeable and made me smile. The romance was sexy and full of tension! I even really enjoyed Cross’s side plot involving some unpaid debts and blackmail. I also loved Pippa’s very clever solution to that problem!

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover The Second Rule of Scoundrels Rules of Scoundrels Sarah MacLean 9780062068538 Books Reviews

Since I enjoyed A Rogue by Any Other Name so much, I jumped straight into One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. And I loved it even more than the first book.

Pippa, Penelope’s younger sister, is a bespectacled scientist and a bit of an oddball who’s resigned herself to the fact that society will never accept her. But Pippa is also adorable in her innocence and fierce intelligence, so she won me over in the last book.

Pippa is engaged to marry a nice but dull man named Castleton, and she is determined to “research” that whole sex thing (or “coitus,” as she so delightfully refers to it) before she says her marriage vows. In the 21st century, that wouldn’t be such an odd thing to do, but in the 19th, it’s practically certifiable. So what’s a girl to do, when the internet doesn’t exist?

“I require ruination. And I hear you are an expert in the subject.”

Cross, the Angel’s bookkeeper, has a reputation for being a rake (and, yes, a scoundrel). So when Pippa, the sister of his partner Bourne’s wife, asks him very seriously to teach her about sex, he does the equivalent of a spittake. “You’re engaged!” doesn’t quite deter Pippa from her quest for knowledge, though. She doesn’t want to actually have sex with Cross. She just wants to ask him questions. Lots of them.

Hilarious questions like this

“I wonder if you could explain the use of the tongue.”

You can see why I loved this book. Poor Cross has to endure a series of shockingly blunt questions from an odd but utterly loveable girl that he’s increasingly attracted to. It’s practically a historical romantic comedy.

This book had a quicker pace than A Rogue by Any Other Name, and it was even funnier. I enjoyed Book 1, but Book 2 had me doubled over with laughter. Pippa is a fantastic heroine, and Cross is the perfect troubled but passionate hero for her. He falls for her because of her oddness, not in spite of it. And the best part is that Pippa saves him instead of the other way around, using her greatest weapon her intelligence.

That’s all I have to say. Now go read this book.
