A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel

Major Rufus d’Aumesty has unexpectedly become the Earl of Oxney, master of a remote Norman manor on the edge of the infamous Romney Marsh. There he’s beset on all sides, his position contested both by his greedy uncle and by Luke Doomsday, son of a notorious smuggling clan.

The earl and the smuggler should be natural enemies, but cocksure, enragingly competent Luke is a trained secretary and expert schemer―exactly the sort of man Rufus needs by his side. Before long, Luke becomes an unexpected ally…and the lover Rufus had never hoped to find.

But Luke came to Stone Manor with an ulterior motive, one he’s desperate to keep hidden even from the lord he can’t resist. As the lies accumulate and family secrets threaten to destroy everything they hold dear, master and man find themselves forced to decide whose side they’re really on…and what they’re willing to do for love.


The Review

Hello reader!

How to begin to describe how much I loved this book??? I’ll try, but I think all you need to know is that it’s incredible!

Alright, let’s talk about KJ Charles’ next novel in The Doomsday Books series. In this second installment, we have military major turned earl Rufus d’Aumesty and the cunningly charming chameleon Luke Doomsday. Book friends, I was so excited that this book picked up Luke’s story. After everything that happened in book one, I desperately wanted to wrap him in a warm hug and needed for him to have his happily ever after.

KJ Charles is hands down the best at character development. Just like I fell head over heals in love with Gareth Inglis and Joss Doomsday, there’s really no surprise that the same thing happened with Luke and Rufus.

Romance readers will be delighted, while wondering, at every turn of the page, what Luke Doomsday is really up to. As the story unfurls, like silky bright petals reaching for the warmth of the sun, the story is filled with yearning, a compassionate and kind MC (Rufus is just an incredible human being), the uncertainty of Rufus and Luke’s relationship towards the end, and of course the best ingredient, all the spice.

Definitely pre-order this one! (Link below)

Happy Reading ~ Cece
