Book Description

January 26, 2010
Seduction takes a delightful, daring twist as Nicole Jordan’s irresistibly sensual Courtship Wars series continues.

 
Dangerously sexy nobleman and former spymaster Rayne Kenyon, Earl of Haviland, has no interest in love. He merely desires an heir to carry on his title and therefore must have a wife. Rayne makes a surprising choice of brides by settling on the plain spinster daughter of a fellow spy who once saved his life. But the spirited and witty Madeline Ellis proves much more than Rayne bargained for.

Dazed by Rayne’s smoldering kisses, Madeline knows that she’s at last found love—with a man determined to avoid it. Once wedded, she decides to take fate into her own hands. Maybe, just maybe, she can kindle the fires in Rayne’s heart by turning her plain, ordinary self into a dazzling temptress. With a little help from the Loring sisters, the earl’s artless new wife becomes a beautiful, bold seductress in their marriage bed. But who could imagine that a simple marriage of convenience can suddenly be flooded with danger, desire, and unexpected love?


 
"One of my all time favorite writers, Nicole Jordan delivers romance like no one else. Captivating, enticing, and irresistible, her books are always on my must buy list."—New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Madeline Ellis had her pride. It was one thing to let Rayne Kenyon, Earl of Haviland, help her out of a difficult situation with a persistent suitor. Madeline could even accept Rayne’s assistance in securing her a job, since Madeline insisted on returning the favor by helping Rayne retrieve some letters from a lovely blackmailer. But Madeline simply refuses to consider Rayne’s offer of marriage, for the simple reason that Rayne says he doesn’t love her. The devilishly handsome Rayne, however, is nothing if not persistent, and he soon convinces Madeline of the mutual advantages of a marriage of convenience. Now all Madeline has to do is find a way to seduce her new husband into falling in love with her! An independent-minded heroine matches wits and wiles with an equally determined hero as Jordan deftly delivers another lusciously sensual addition to her Regency-set Courtship Wars series. --John Charles

"One of my all time favorite writers, Nicole Jordan delivers romance like no one else. Captivating, enticing, and irresistible, her books are always on my must buy list."--Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Nicole Jordan charms and captivates."--Jillian Hunter, New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan spins delightful tales that simmer with passion and sensuality. In her former life, Nicole grew up as an Army brat, moving frequently and attending high school in Germany. She later earned a civil engineering degree from Georgia Tech and spent eight years as a manufacturing manager making disposable diapers and toilet tissue! Currently Nicole lives in the Rocky Mountains of Utah with her real-life hero (her husband) and beloved kids (her horses).

With over two-dozen historical romances to her credit and five million books in print, set in numerous eras and locales, Nicole now enjoys chronicling the sparks that fly when Regency lovers play the matrimonial mating game.

One of her novels had the dubious honor of being humorously spotlighted by Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show." On a more serious note, Nicole's romances regularly appear on numerous bestseller lists, including The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today, and have earned such honors as RITA finalist, RWA's Favorite Book of the Year, theRomantic Times Career Achievement Award for Historical Romance, and the Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence, presented by a group of over one hundred romance reviewers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lord Haviland finally finds a bride! A marriage of convenience that brings unexpected love., January 27, 2010
By 
Misuzmama (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Tame a Dangerous Lord (Mass Market Paperback)
Rayne Kenyon, Earl of Haviland, is on a mission though not his usual kind. The spy formally involved in political intrigue and shadowy secrets is unaccustomed to stuffy London ballrooms and simpering misses but he's made his Grandmama a promise to marry and produce an heir. Months of searching for a bride have come to naught until he happens upon a scantily clad damsel in distress at a inn. Possessing a strong chivalrous streak, Rayne springs into action and saves the curvaceous maid. But Madeline Ellis is no ordinary lady needing a hero. The daughter of an army Captain has been taking care of herself and her rapscallion brother since her mother's death many years ago and her father's more recently. It pains Rayne to see a woman, especially the daughter of the man who saved his life, brought so low. As a result the outspoken and prideful Madeline must relent when Rayne insists on escorting her to London and finding her suitable employment. Soon Rayne realizes that the lively Miss Ellis, though plain in appearance, would make him the perfect wife, the mother of his heir. But Madeline has her fears. Such a cold blooded arrangement is one she's never envisioned for herself. But what can she do? She has fallen in love with the enigmatic and remote gentleman. Perhaps its time for her to tame the dangerous lord.....with seduction.

Finally Haviland gets his book and its a pretty good one. After seeing him passed over for most of The Courtship War series (particularly in To Bed a Beauty (Courtship Wars, Book 2) -my favorite), Rayne gets his bride in this fourth installment. Though To Tame A Dangerous Lord is nothing out of the ordinary in terms of marriage of convenience romance books, its a solid read. Rayne is your typical highhanded detached aristocrat who, having been burned by love many years ago, seeks a more practical arraignment with his wife. A woman who would suit his purpose and give him an heir. Likewise Madeline is pragmatic but deep down she secretly yearns for love. It all comes to a head when Madeline realizes that she has desperately fallen in love with Rayne, but not he with her and so she seeks a way to make him fall in love, hence her attempts at seduction and visits to Fanny (readers will remember the courtesan who gives advice of the carnal kind from the previous books). Again nothing new but well written. I loved Rayne's quirky friend Freddie who was constantly getting into trouble and putting his foot in his mouth. You never knew what would come out of his mouth! On the other hand Rayne's harridan Grandmother gave me the willies, but she was perfection. The only two parts I didn't care for were the constant references to Madelines lack of beauty (please enough already!) and Rayne's cold blooded stubbornness (lasted way too long into the book IMHO). And the "danger" in the book was just meh, not that thrilling. Other than that its a good read recommended.

Other marriage of convenience books I have enjoyed:
The Devil in Winter (The Wallflowers, Book 3)

2.0 out of 5 stars He didn't grovel enough, May 16, 2010
This review is from: To Tame a Dangerous Lord (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, if I disregard all the ways in which the hero and the heroine simply disregarded all the rules of propriety (of which she should be extremely careful, since she was a companion/governess and any slip could ruin her), and her annoying little brother, the main problem I had with this book was the hero. Overbearing, self-centered, stubborn. So convinced he is always right that I wanted to shake him!! Unable to get over a youthful infatuation and allowing one bad experience to rule his life. At first, he pursued the heroine all the time - but once they got married, he simply abandoned her. I hated him. And he had her followed, didn't trust her, was seeking for ulterior motives all the time. God, I hated him. After a while, I just wanted her to leave him and find someone better. In the end, she should let him beg her forgiveness and grovel for a long time before forgiving him. But all he had to do was say I love you and everything was fine and rosy and perfect. She didn't have any spine left by the time he was finished with her. Oh, and one more thing - the love scenes were simply awful, so forced, with no feeling in the at all. She was supposed to be a sheltered innocent, but he did all he wanted to her - and I didn't really have the feeling that she was comfortable with it all. Not good.
If you really feel like you have to read this book, borrow it from a library, don't waste your money on it.

2.0 out of 5 stars So so...., February 24, 2010
I have heard a number of good things about Jordan's books, but to tell the truth this one left me wanting. It started off good but after the first few chapters the book lost its appeal. The character development poor and the story was was mediocre at best.
