One Good Earl Deserves a Lover (Rules of Scoundrels, #2)

by Sarah MacLean

I can't quite remember the first one but I'm pretty sure this was better. In any case I'd put this at a 3.5 stars.

I liked Phillipa and Cross. They were both intelligent and I liked how their conversations referenced random facts and knowledge. They both seemed to have a lot in common and the romance was mostly enjoyable. The drama was a little bit over the top and I think I remember feeling the same way about the first - maybe it's just how the author writes. Even so, it's a well written story with enjoyable characters and a mostly believable plot, even if a slightly ridiculous one. And I very much enjoyed that Phillipa was the one to save the day.
