When Lord Norcourt needs help from Madeline Prescott to enroll his niece into Mrs. Harris' school, she finally sees a way to help restore her dad in more than one way.
So when he agrees to teach rakehell lessons, she is determined to use him to get to one of his friends.
Unfortunately for Madeline, Anthony isn't the dimwitted scoundrel society thinks he is. So instead of just playing along he sets out to discover the truth, ruthlessly using seduction to get it.
And as Madeline realises there's more than meets the eye about the viscount she realises that her plans might interfere with his... Even more, that the feelings she is developing for the scoundrel turn out to be more than mere curiosity.
I've always loved Sabrina Jeffries' books. But with this one, and Beware of a Scot's revenge, she pulls romance to a higher level.
In this book we have a mix of laughter, sensuality, love and emotions. Put together is such a way it will keep you turning the pages until you are able to close the book with a deep sigh of satisfaction.
Anthony, Viscount Norcourt is a rakehell pure sang. Nothing is save for this scoundrel, aside from virgins and wedding minded women. But Anthony has a past that left deep emotional scars. It turned the reckless boy he used to be into the wicked rogue he became. But then he must save another from the evil he had to face, and the only way to do that is to redeem himself into society's eyes. One way to do that is to gain Madeline's help. But he didn't realize that Madeline with her quick mind and sharp eyes would be the reason to change his ways all by herself.
Madeline needs his help. He might be the solution to restore her dad's good health and name. So she conditions her help to him helping her gaining access to his friends. But while she sees he is trying to figure out the truth, she is helpless against his honest and experienced seductions. Succumbing more and more each moment they spend together she realises that his help might thwart with his plans. When she finally finds out why the enrollment is so important to him, Madeline is torn between her dad and her lover.
Let Sleeping Rogues Lie is a wonderful story about love and trust and how love can heal most scars. Madeline is the perfect woman for a man as Anthony. Strong and determined, caring and compassionate. While Anthony is a scoundrel, you can't help but fall in love with him the minute you see through his eyes.
Sabrina Jeffries put together a tale that is so delightful and sensual that you won't be able to put it aside until you reach the last page...
