When the Scoundrel Sins (Capturing the Carlisles Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Anna Harrington (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 404 ratings
A MOST INDECENT PROPOSAL

Annabelle Green needs a husband-and quickly. To inherit the only home she's ever known, she must be married by her twenty-fifth birthday. But finding a suitor has been next to impossible after a reckless rogue named Quinton Carlisle seduced her into a scandalous midnight tryst. Her reputation in ruins, Belle now needs a rather large favor. And she knows just who to turn to . . .

Quinn can hardly believe that the shy bookish girl he teased as a child has grown into such a brazen beauty. The very idea of marrying Belle to right the wrongs of his past is downright shocking . . . and deliciously tempting. Too bad marriage, convenient or otherwise, is the last thing Quinn wants. He'll help Belle find a husband and be on his way. But if he can't control his attraction to the bride-to-be, this marriage could go up in flames-of wicked desire.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m an author of spicy Regency romance with alpha heroes and independent heroines, layers of emotion, and lots of sizzle. I fell in love with historical romances and all things Regency—and especially all those dashing Regency heroes—while living in England, where I spent most of my time reading Jane Austen and getting lost in London (especially the getting lost part). I have traveled around the world, both as a tourist and as a volunteer with children's organizations in Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and Mexico. I love to hike and fly airplanes, adore all things chocolate and coffee, and am a Doctor Who fanatic (everyone says my house *is* bigger on the inside!). I am a terrible cook who hopes to one day use my oven for something other than shoe storage. In my spare time, when I'm not writing or teaching, I enjoy tending the roses in my garden during the summer and reading historical romances during the winter. My fav authors are Elizabeth Hoyt (her Maiden Lane series is fantastic!), Sabrina Jeffries (fabulous emotion on every page), Lisa Kleypas (whose prose is simply divine!)and Sylvia Day (who isn’t afraid to take historical romance in all kinds of new and hot directions).

I've been writing since 2015, when All About Romance named me Best Debut Historical Romance Author for my debut series, THE SECRET LIFE OF SCOUNDRELS. DUKES ARE FOREVER won the 2016 Maggie Award for Best Historical Romance, and HOW I MARRIED A MARQUESS was a 2017 RITA finalist.

If you love history and romance as much as I do, I'd love to hear from you.

    4.0 out of 5 stars especially someone like Annabelle. But Annabelle’s guardian has roped him into ...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017
    What’s it About? Years ago Quinton Carlisle inadvertently ruined Annabelle Greene’s reputation and she left London. Now she’s grown up and desperately needs a husband so that she can keep the only home she’s ever known. She only has weeks to find a husband and she’s desperate so she turns to Quinn and proposes a marriage of convenience. Only Quinn has his own plans and they don’t include marrying anyone, especially someone like Annabelle. But Annabelle’s guardian has roped him into helping Annabelle finding a suitable husband. All that time together has Quinn reconsidering Annabelle’s very tempting proposal.

    Overall reaction to the story? I didn’t know what to expect out of Annabelle and Quinton to be honest, they had a history together that wasn’t all that pleasant (Though Quinn remembers the incident differently than Annabelle.) but the initial attraction was still there. Anna Harrington took two conflicted people with different goals, threw in an inheritance situation and created a lovely romance with a dash of teasing that made me smile throughout the whole story.

    Describe the hero in five words: Playful. Stubborn. Smart. Charming. Loyal.
    Did you like him? Not at first but he grew on me.
    Why? At first Quinn came off as someone who didn’t take anything seriously except for the fun things in life. All he did was tease Annabelle ruthlessly and that didn’t leave any room for some serious relationship or character development. However, Annabelle’s situation sobered Quinn up enough for him to show his true colors but not too much to where he didn’t still get on Annabelle’s nerves now and again. I liked that he could be a bit of child with her but at the same time he was also kind, and a good listener. Quinn was also determined to help Annabelle find a way to keep her home without being forced to marry, something that he didn’t have to do since it didn’t affect him at all, to me that told me all I needed to know about him. He was a good guy even though he liked to make Annabelle mad.

    Describe the heroine in five words: Determined. Kind. Intelligent. Loyal. Strong.
    Did you like her? Yes.
    Why? Annabelle’s situation would make anyone cry but not her. She was willing to tackle the situation head on instead of letting everyone around her try and solve her problems. Not that she didn’t know she needed help but for the most part, she was well informed about her situation and had several ideas going. I loved that she always tried to stay two steps ahead on the problems in her life, and never stood there like a wilting flower waiting to be saved. I liked that Quinn’s teasing didn’t send her into a swoon; she stood there and dished it out the best she could. I do love a heroine who stands her ground.

    Let’s talk about the romance: Quinn and Annabelle’s romance started a few years before the present timeline in the book. He was young, stupid, and flexing his seduction skills and she was the unfortunate victim of bad timing, flimsy dress material, and gossip. The little bit of attraction between them at that point took a backseat to animosity on Annabelle’s part. Still, the attraction was still there a few years later when they meet up again it’s just that this time with Annabelle’s inheritance situation these two couldn’t get away from each other. I liked the whole I-Hate-You-But-I-Still-Think-You’re-Hot vibe that these two had going though I don’t think Quinn every hated Annabelle, he was just fascinated and frustrated by her. The romance was built on these sometimes humorous interactions but also on Quinn really seeing Annabelle as more than just a pretty face that he liked to torment. He grew to admire her and that lead to love. I liked that there was more to these two than just a physical attraction.

    Click It or Skip It? Click It. Anna Harrington’s second book in the Carlisle series has more humor in it with Quinn and Annabelle’s bickering but it’s still a steamy romance with plenty to offer.

    Quinton Carlisle has known Annabelle Green since she was a young girl. Now Annabelle needs a husband fast as her 25th birthday approaches. Annabelle raised without love until her 8th birthday by a brutal father and Quinton raised in a loving home have little in common except for his teasing her constantly. What happens when one is afraid of love and the other insists on it in a marriage? Add a villain to the mix and you have a wonderful read. I've added Anna Harrington to my must read author list.

    Quinn is a hunk that never wants to love or be loved by someone because it hurts too much to lose that someone - Belle must marry to secure her estate by her twenty-fifth birthday or lose her home - loved the concept of the plot with the two Carlisle brothers testing out the suitors to make sure that they were good enough for Belle - the humor was strong - very well written

    Was an OK read but I think there are legal errors in this book which irritated not least the fact that Annabelle was born while her mother was married. By law, she would be regarded as the child of her mother’s husband even if biologically she wasn’t. She would therefore not qualify as one of The daughters of another man as even if he acknowledged her illegitimate children could not inherit at that point in history.
