One Wild Dawn

This is a new Author for me. Book one in The Northumberland Nine Series is a well written story that kept me turning pages each page flows smoothly to the next. Miss Annette Marsden is the oldest of nine sisters she meets Lord Roderick Andrews he is the younger brother of the Duke of Selbourne. This story gives you a redeemable rogue, strong heroine, and a riveting romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lord Roderick Andrews is determined to marry his poor neighbor Annette Marsden. But he is drunk all the time and can’t remember kissing her, never mind seducing her in the garden. After their encounter Anne thinks he will offer for her, but he doesn’t. Roderick does try to become sober for her, but he gets drunk again after he finds out she’s pregnant, not realizing the baby is his. I didn’t really care for Roderick very much and I don’t understand what Ann saw in him and why she put up with him. Bernie and Chester were much more interesting characters and I’m looking forward to their story in the next book.

I just finished reading this book and I must say, it was thoroughly enjoyable! This is Book 1 in The Northumberland Nine series and you get to meet the 9 sisters who are all looking for husbands!!! In this first book, the story is about Annette, the eldest sister, and Lord Roderick Andrews. They've known each other since they were children due to being neighbours and Roderick has been known to terrorize Annette with spiders and such! lol She loves nothing more than being able to put him down and everyone around them thinks she hates him. In reality, though, she loves him but he's a rake with a drinking problem and she sees no future for them. He must prove to her that he's a changed man and you must read the story to find out how he does it and what all ensues:) The steamy scenes are very well done and all in all, I thought this was very well written.
