A most wicked education... Marissa Rotherhild has always behaved exactly as a proper lady should, and it has done absolutely nothing for her. So now she has made a most sinful proposal. She wants to live only for pleasure, and she wants Lord Valentine Kent to instruct her in the ways of love and lust. Caring not for scandal or the whispers of society, she craves his every wanton touch. It is every rake’s fantasy. Lord Valentine Kent has never before been so tempted. Though he is every bit the gentleman, from the moment Marissa arrives at his country estate he can think of nothing but her wild, dark curls and luscious curves. But submitting to passion must wait until he completes the search for an ancestral treasure. It is a most honorable endeavor. But Kent and Marissa will soon discover that even the best of intentions is no match for a desire as desperate as theirs . . .

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

In A MOST SINFUL PROPOSAL, the second book in the Husband’s Hunting Club series, Melissa Rotherhild declares in the opening chapter that she has found the perfect man. His name is The Honorable George Kent, and she means to marry him. Too bad that she seems to ignore his flaws, being totally surprised when he does not show up for a planned meeting at his home, the country seat of his cousin, Lord Valentine Kent. Her first impression upon meeting Lord Kent is that he is exactly like her parents. Studious, self involved, likely to ignore her presence altogether. Little does she know that first impressions can be deliciously wrong.

I loved the interaction between Melissa and Valentine. So much so, that I found myself turning the pages well into the night and finishing this novel within two days. I found myself cheering for their romance, and said to myself, George who?

If you love romance, intrigue, and wonderful love scenes, A MOST SINFUL PROPOSAL is for you. As with any novel I ask myself, would I read this book again? The answer this time is a resounding yes.
