The Notorious St. Claires

review 1: Sensual not heavily erotic (no profanity) - what I prefer since I listen to stories via Kindle text-to-speach (better than radio or TV) while I do my work and household chores. I want to be entertained, not aroused, while I vacuum, dust, fold clothes, etc. Ha! Ha!There are the frustrations of "misunderstandings" and a heroine too stubborn/naive for her own good near the end. The hero is stereotypical of a stoic man on the outside and confused anger on the inside. But the story is fast paced and entertaining, a pleasant light read (not pages and pages of internal conflict as the characters try to convince the reader of their irrational motives for being stupid). Not a story I will remember in a few months time.
review 2: #1 of 4 in the Notorious St ClairesHawk S... moret. Claire may be the head of the family but his siblings do not listen very well. Therefore he is forced to go to a house party by himself after accepting an invitation with the hopes of his brother hooking up with the daughter of a man he resects. Once there though he discovers the chit is not fit to be his brother's wife, wouldn't wish her on his worst enemy actually. But while there, Jane Smith, someone he believes to be a servant girl, must leave. She sneaks onto one of his carriages with the hopes of not being discovered until they reach London where she will find a new home. Once discovered, it comes out that she is actually a poor relation turned out from her home due to inappropriate behavior with him. To protect her reputation, he takes her to his home and tells them she is his ward until he can figure out what to do with her. Attraction is there but Jane knows she must not give into it because her shameful secret. He is the first man that ever made her feel like this. She can never have him though, not with her shameful secrets.Excellent beginning to a new series. I can't wait for the next one! less
