    5. I use to read alot of Ms Caldwell s books.I especially loved her book forever betrothed never the bride I don t know if it is my intolerance for wasted wordsor the lack of free time I have but when writers are inefficient with their words and repetitive in their writing especially when pages and pages are filled with character inner dialogues that just keep going in circles What a waste of words and pages and an opportunity to tell a meaningful and unforgettable story This book had good characte [...]

    7. The Scoundrel s Honor is the second book in the Sinful Brides series by Christi Caldwell I haven t read the first book in the series, and it wasn t necessary to in order to enjoy this book I do however think that knowing about Ryker Black s enemy would be a bonus if only to know just why he and Ryker are at war In that regard, reading the first book, first, would be good.Penelope has seen her brother and sisters before her marry under scandalous circumstances Now it is her time to look for a hu [...]

    8. The Scoundrel s Honor by Christi Caldwell is another example of writing from the heart Set in 1822 London While, Book 2 in her mesmerizing series, Sinful Brides , it can easily be read as a stand alone See, The Rogue s Wager If you have read Ms Caldwell s intriguing stories before, you will probably remember Lady Penelope Tide and Ryker Black, as appearing characters Lady Penelope Tide is in no way a stranger to scandal Her older siblings caused such a scandal, her family s good name was mudged [...]

    9. I always like a good historical romance and this is a pretty good one except I did feel it s not one of the author s best ones and the one thing that really bothered me was how the MCs came together initially and the marriage plot of the book It was so quick and honestly just ridiculous I know so many of these books use the compromised so must marry plot device and sometimes it works and other times it s just annoying and lazy This time it didn t work for me But that s not to say I didn t enjoy [...]

    14. The Tide family are one of my faves in historical romance, so it s lovely to read Penny s sorry, Penelope story While it was a quick read, the romance wasn t really as believable, given that Penny and Ryker have literally only known each other for a handful of minutes before they are married, and then it s only a week after that that Penny professes her love for Ryker.Aside from the fast, blink and you miss it romance, this was a sweet little gem in the Sinful Brides series.

    19. I loved Christi s last book, and thought it was the absolute best yet but this one stretched to new heights The story of Penelope and Ryker is fabulous I found Ryker to be a hero with the silver lining Not only is he a great hero but he really figured out how to love and live There was so much depth to the characters in this book Just when you had them figured out the last 1 4 of the book proved you still had a lot to discover I laughed throughout the book At one time my husband came into the ro [...]

    20. I have read many Christi Caldwell novels, and have enjoyed them all Ms Caldwell has a style of writing I thoroughly enjoy The way she alternates between different characters viewpoints really brings her stories to life for me The plot for The Scoundrel s Honor is not a new one The hero and heroine are polar opposites in every way From their upbringings and life experiences to their personalities, they couldn t have less in common Lady Penelope Tide is eighteen and in her first season Lady Penelo [...]

    21. This was a beautiful, well written story I really love this Christi Caldwell and haven t read a bad book from her yet I really liked that there wasn t an immediate attraction between the main characters It made the story seem realistic and believable When they finally did get together, it made sense because they got to know each other over a period of time and the relationship between them seemed genuine because of that Once they started warming up to each other, the tension between Ryker and [...]

    22. I received an E ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Penny is a dreamer She dreams of many things She is a romantic And she is naive The Tides, her family, have been the center of several scandals in the past Her older sisters, in particular So it s no surprise that Penny is tainted with the same reputation AND that she is determined to overcome Society s expectations She was to be proper and polite, and Society was to have seen that, and then to have overlooked years of Tide scan [...]

    24. Somewhere between Ryker Black s rise from guttersnipe to ruthless owner of the Hell and Sin Club, the world had learned one did not cross him, interrupt him, or interfere with his dealings Ever FINAL DECISION A story that has a lot of drama, this book stays on the surface of the emotions of the characters That makes what might otherwise be a dark book interesting but not compelling I enjoyed the book because of the characters especially the heroineE STORY Lady Penelope Tide is having her debut a [...]

    25. The second book in the Sinful Brides Series is definitely a keeper Ryker and Penny are two completely opposites that wind up together in a incredible story of danger, redemption, forgiveness and most of all Love.Ryker grew up on the streets in St GIles and has no use for anyone or anything that will take him away from his gaming hell and his adopted brothers He is ruthless and believes this is the only way to live Don t let anyone into his world that will jeopardize his club He especially has no [...]

    26. Who knew gambling and playing a game of cards could be so damn sexy Another winner here from Christi Caldwell They just keep getting better and better Once you get over the first chapter which is wishy washy in my opinion the book just blazes with chemistry and intrigue.Penny is a upper class woman too progressive for her time Her family are constantly getting into scandals so she goes to a party to restore her name and find a man What any good woman in regency England needs to do.Unfortunately [...]
