1289. Guarding a Notorious Lady (Olivia Parker)

Synopsis:
A woman of pristine breeding, Lady Rosalind Devine is also an unrepentant meddler and snoop - which is why her brother refuses to leave her to her own devices while on his wedding trip. But Rosalind will not make things easy for any unseen, unwanted 'nursemaid' - and vows to use her considerable wiles to expose her mystery guardian.

Nicholas Kincaid, the Marquess of Winterbourne, agreed to secretly guard his friend's spoiled, stubborn sister, though her infuriating penchant for mischief is causing him to question his decision. Though bound by the rules of society - and friendship - Rosalind's spirit and sensuality have sparked a fierce desire in Nicholas to play a very different role in her life, one that entails passion, ecstasy . . . and unavoidable scandal.

My rating: 2 stars

My review: It's possible that my expectations for this book were too high. I LOVED Olivia Parker's previous book, "To Wed a Wicked Earl," and it would have been hard for any subsequent book to live up to that. I wanted to love this book but I couldn't get myself to care about these characters. Oh, well.
