Lots of eyebrow waggling. Story seems more like it's about Alex and Lady Kate, instead of Lady Grace and David. Two stories going on at once. You start getting interested in one story, the chapter ends, then you're in the other story. Alex and Lady Kate are in their 40's, and she becomes pregnant after thinking she was barren, oops! The book should be mainly about these two, not all four. I didn't get to know much about Lady Grace and David. It was like they got shoved to the background. I missed the usual background characters in this book, like Tynweith and his "unique" shrubs!
The Naked Gentleman, The Naked Earl, and The Naked Marquis are much better reads. This one was just okay.

Not a bad read. The story was cute(and was laugh out loud funny in a few parts), though the summary is a bit misleading as the secondary characters (the h's aunt and the H's uncle) did seem to take over the story quite a few times. Added to that, there were some frustrating moments with the H and h, when I'd have liked nothing more then to kick them both (though more her than him) On the positive side the Hero is not a man-slut. He's experienced but not overly so. As that's so rare in regencies now-a-days, that was a nice surprise.
Back to the negatives though, as the point of view kept changing when you least wanted it to, and most of the sex scenes were not b/w the so-called main characters. And the ending was a bit abrupt, a bit more of an actual conclusion to the story would have been nice... I'd have loved an epilogue at least!
On a side note, if you're familiar with Ms MacKenzie's Naked series, then this takes place during the same time as The Naked Duke, so we hear (indirectly) about the Hero and heroine from that book as well.
Over all, a decent, quick read though, in my opinion at least, not worth a whole credit or a place on the keeper shelf.

Hmmmmmmmm....sooo WHYYY did this book come AFTER "The Naked Gentlemen" ... ??? Hmmmm.... sooo weird...
Well, anyyyhow, I was a little disappointed in this book... maybe it's because I just couldn't get over the "the AFTER the fact factor" ... it just threw me for a loop. Pls. don't get me wrong the book is ok, (ya, sadly, just ok) the characters are actually likable, the dual plot has you rooting for both of the couples presented in this story... minimal erotic love scenes, no plot twists, overall, it was just ooook...
