Review : The Naked Marquis
Title: The Naked Marquis
Author: Sally MacKenzie
First Impression: bleh some book to read till I get Scandal in Spring.
Boy was I wrong. So so damn wrong. This book is amazing. Its hilarious its frank..its steamy..its....amazing.
I am writing this review in the dead of night because I could not wait to tell ya'll about it.
And Thank GOD, a good book..!
Story takes place in England historically, of course. Its just a wonderful love story between the two characters, Charles Draysmith and Emma Peterson. This was just the kind of romance novel I love. There are interesting plot twists and we get to know several secondary characters well. The secondary characters are HILARIOUS. Ok back to the main characters (im so side tracked by excitement) the hero and herione knew each other when they were really younger. Him ten and she six. She follows him around and thats how his friends named her "Shadow." His nickname for her was "Runt." Because she was small, la duh. He grew up, moved away and now has returned to take his brothers place as marquis. His brother and his sister in law died from an accident. Ok so he returns and see's lil miss runt...in all her sexiness. He goes crazy, then he sees his nieces and falls absolutely in love with them. He loves kids, omg..i almost wetted my panties. He persistantly asks Emma to marry her and she answers by slapping him HAHAHA.
But boy does she want him.
The secondary characters are a hoot. There is this one woman named Lady Beatrice aka Aunt Bea. Remember Lady Danbury in the Bridgerton books? Imagine a lady better than her! Aunt Bea is soo flipping hilarious and frank she made me laugh outloud so many times. Said things that people would barely say today.
"Make sure you slip a betrothel ring on her finger before you slip yourself into her--"
"AUNT."
HAHAHA God I love her. And the kids in this book..total hearthrobs..with their lil schemes..
Although, I do have to admit, the book went downhill after they made love..they started talking differently..maybe the author was rushed or something..but regardless this books is awesome.
Certain annoyance: Emma did not know ANYTHING. She was a dumb virgin. She was twenty six and didn't know a male person had a damn penis.
The hero went out for a swim in the estate lake (they always have lakes) and before he could get in here comes this dog that was taken on a walk with Emma. Emma is like..omg..somewhat naked man..dog bitting his towel..um..what to do..what to do.
She leaps and grabs the coller and looks up..
Oh, she says..what is THAT! Is that a broken bone, she says something close to that.
A broken bone. c'mon chit..a bone..
Are you in pain. Do you need a doctor? You look like you are in pain...
"DO NOT TOUCH!"
"No need to shout..just trying to help."
female! How do you not know. If your private parts are between your legs..where do you think HIS are. Idiocy!
I'll give her some slack..just a little because she is a daughter of a vicar..and was very sheltered..
...but boy does she turn a lil wanton lol. Reallly bold.
But yea. This book should be read by all. Really great..makes you laugh and all. Superb!
Rating: 4.5

You make this sound so interesting, but I don't know about the heroine-she sounds too innocent.
She is too innocent. But that is the only really bad thing about the book, seriously. =)
This is totally going on my TBR list, thanks for the pimp. Holy crap in the pants, she didn't know what a penis was? STUPID!
I think this was the one that I couldn't stand because the beginning was such a knockoff of one of my favorite romances. Just couldn't finish the book at all.
