Book Description:
She Needed a Husband
When the Earl of Bridgeton, England's most notorious rake, strides into the ballroom, Lady Sara Carrington immediately plans to lure him onto the terrace. The willful beauty's brothers want to marry her off to some stodgy old man to curb her wildness, so she's determined to find her own husband -- one who won't care what she does. Nick is not only indecently handsome and irresistibly charming; he'll also be absolutely perfect.
He Wanted a Mistress
Never has Nick received a more tantalizing proposal -- but because of his past, he's sworn never to marry. Instead, he agrees to give the innocent chit instruction in the art of seduction to help her plan succeed. But when "demonstration" kisses become burningly real, and Sara turns the tables by applying her lessons to him, the infamous rake is in danger of falling in love...with the miss he'd only meant to bed!

This is the sequel to "The Abduction of Julia" and a prequel of sorts to the Talisman Ring series featuring the St. John brothers.
After an early, tragically (and somewhat comically) ended marriage, Sara (St. John) Lawrence finds herself banished to Bath with a middle-aged chaperone when her older brothers decide that she needs to settle down and re-marry. She determines that her best course of action is to find a husband of convenience who will let her do her own thing. Unfortunately, things don't go exactly according to plan.
Enter Nicholas Montrose. Sara doesn't particularly want to marry him, and he definitely doesn't want to marry her. But since they are desperately in lust, it somehow happens anyway, with a lot of help (read: threats) from Sara's brothers. Nick suffers from severe migraines and painful childhood memories of an opium-addicted mother, and is determined to send Sara away before he ruins her life - and very nearly succeeds on both counts.
This book has a fairly lightweight plot, and is a fun, easy read. Sara and Nick are enjoyable characters, and you're also introduced to Anna and Anthony, whose love story follows in "An Affair to Remember." Karen Hawkins obviously has a great sense of humor, and that comes through in all of her books, including this one.

I really, really liked this book, although I'm rather at a loss as to why! There's not much of a plot, what plot there is is predictable, and yet the characters are so appealing and likable. I couldn't put it down and hated to see it end. But, for the life of me I don't know why! Try for yourself and see what you think.

First of the series about the St. John family. Hawkins doesn't fail to provide laughter and strong romance of not one but two couples. One of my favorites from her.
I always love all of her books & this one was no exception. Great story. You know it will end well but like to see how it happens.
LaVonne W. (A predictable plot but a fun read. Humor and wit rule.
