From the back of the book:
THEIR MARRIAGE WAS CONVENIENT…
Simon St. James, fifth Earl of Trask, knows he could do worse in the marriage of convenience department. Sophie Stanton may be a bit of a social liability, with her ungovernable ways and flighty nature, but Simon has responsibilities as an earl that far outweigh happiness in the household. And as for happiness in the bedroom…he has to admit he sees Sophie’s potential in that arena…
THEIR PASSION WAS NOT!
But Sophie isn’t some bargaining chip to be traded, and she’s not about to let Simon St. James tell her how to live her life – even though she has nurtured a crush on the handsome young earl for as long as she can remember. If his idea of courtship is telling her what to do, then she is not interested, or at least she is trying not to be. But when his scolding words turn to scorching kisses, suddenly Sophie starts paying attention…
SEX AND THE SINGLE EARL is such a fun book. Sophie isn’t going to let anyone tell her what to do, especially Simon St. James. I will admit there were a couple of times that I felt like smacking Sophie. Some of her antics are a little reckless and ill planned, but her heart is in the right place. For instance, after her purse is stolen she is very upset about the child who did the stealing and what he took. She wants to help him and doesn’t think twice about going to areas in Bath that a young lady of good breading should not go in order to look for him. Simon has to rescue her on several occasions. Simon St. James is an ultimate alpha. He believes that his job is to take care of the women in his life (whether they want him to or not). These two bicker back and forth for most of the book and at times the only way Simon can get Sophie to shut up is to kiss her. I loved all of the verbal foreplay! This is a fantastic historical romance – perfect in every way.
