Publisher Description
Megan Frampton dazzles in the first book in her new series, A School for Scoundrels. Five gentlemen with unbreakable bonds navigate life—and love—in London. Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean and anyone who loves BRIDGERTON!
To Lady Wilhelmina Bettesford, the “game” of finding a husband is a competitive sport she wants no part of…until her much-younger step mama forces her to play it. So when her stepmother asks sexy barrister Bram Townsend to pretend to woo the amateur astronomer to boost Wilhelmina’s popularity, it’s up to Wilhelmina to navigate a fake courtship that will keep the family from forcing her into a marriage—any marriage—before she finally receives the inheritance that will allow her to live as she wants.
The trouble is every time Bram takes her in his arms she has a most difficult time remembering theirs is an act…the make-believe passion feels very real indeed.
Bram Townsend is a man on the way up: living for his books and his beliefs. Squiring Lady Wilhelmina through London’s dusk-to-dawn social whirl is hardly an ordeal—she’s beautiful, bright, and bold, everything he finds tempting in a woman. Their deal means he can meet the “best” people while she keeps her family at bay. The challenge is he quickly finds himself wanting her to say “yes” when she’s so determined to say “no.” She persuaded him to make this impetuous bargain, but how can he convince her to make it real?
Customer Reviews
Great arguments!
Bram Townsend breaks Lady Wilhelmina Bettesford’s fall however a damsel she is not in “Her Lessons in Persuasion,” book one of the School for Scoundrels series by Megan Frampton!!
Wilhelmina and Bram’s meet cute is anything but cute apart from the starry night! Barrister Bram and astronomer Wilhelmina frustrate each other yet the tension is magnetic!
How fun when they meet again and Bram’s role is to help bring boys to Wilhelmina’s yard! Although her father and stepmother want her to marry, Wilhelmina and Bram, both opposed to marriage, use each other for other purposes!
I do enjoy the list of men Wilhelmina do not wish to marry throughout the book! It gets very specific hence educational.
The other men in the story, Bram’s four best friends deserve honorable mention! They tell him what he does not know or want to admit then help him. I am excited for their individual story!
I love the trials throughout the book! Wilhelmina and Bram’s desire exponentially grows, and how apt that they begin new chapters in their life arguing their points!
If you enjoy class difference, close proximity, fake relationships, found family, self-made heroes, strong female characters, and virgin MCs then this book is a must read!
Thank you to Net Galley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
