Publisher Description
Lady Philippa Marbury is . . . odd
The brilliant, bespectacled daughter of a double marquess cares more for books than balls, for science than the season, and for laboratories than love. She's looking forward to marrying her simple fiancé and living out her days quietly with her dogs and her scientific experiments. But before that, Pippa has two weeks to experience all the rest—fourteen days to research the exciting parts of life. It's not much time, and to do it right she needs a guide familiar with London's darker corners.
She needs . . . a Scoundrel
She needs Cross, the clever, controlled partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, with a carefully crafted reputation for wickedness. But reputations often hide the darkest secrets, and when the unconventional Pippa boldly propositions him, seeking science without emotion, she threatens all he works to protect. He is tempted to give Pippa precisely what she wants . . . but the scoundrel is more than he seems, and it will take every ounce of his willpower to resist giving the lady more than she ever imagined.

"I feel like my feelings for these characters can be summed up by what the author herself said about them. Pippa is not my favorite heroine and Cross is not my favorite hero, but they are quite a lovely couple. I'm paraphrasing, but you get my point. Seperately they didn't rock my world, but I thought they were an adorable couple. It did take me a while to actually get into the book, but it wasn't horrible. I adored the ending of it, but the first half I found myself setting it aside for about three days, before remembering I was reading it. Still, I do love that the book is dedicated to girls who wear glasses since I myself wear glasses. I especially loved the part with the mask that is designed especially to fit around her glasses (something I envy because I would love to wear a mask without being half blind). Overall I give the book 3.5-4.0 stars."

" Not your typical beauty falling love with the beast. Loved how Pippa was always able to out smart cross at every turn. Good Read, can't wait to hear about Temple story. "

" Sarah Maclean...I don't think there is much to add to what has been said about her. Whenever I think I've had enough of HR for a while she reminds me why it is my favorite genre. I adore all her books, settings, heros and heroines. And this one isn't an exception. Sarah is on my auto-buy list because, frankly, she can do no wrong. Cross is a tortured soul with a good heart and a huge amount of hotness and if you don't fall in love with Pippa because she's a smart cookie then you are mad. There is a scene in which there is no smooching. This must have been the hottest no-smooching scene I've ever read. "

" This is FABULOUS!!!! The first chapter alone is HYSTERICAL! This is a must read for romance lovers! I must own this book because it's so worth rereads! One of the top "fluff" reads I've ever read! I'm laughing even now just from rememberance. "

" I loved this book! I am particularly drawn to books with clever dialogue. Sarah MacLean does an incredible job of writing characters that are smart, funny and have interesting conversations. I like all of her books, but this one is, IMHO, the best book yet. "

— Leslie, 9/26/2013 -
" Maybe I'm just growing out of these, but towards the end, I lost interest. I'm not a fan of the "I love you, but I can't love you because I'm not good enough for you," dynamic. UGH. "
