The illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, she works at the Tantalus Club, a discreet establishment for gentlemen-and her only suitor is a pastor who wants to save her soul.

So when Sophia is invited to spend the holidays at the estate of Adam Baswich, the devilishly handsome Duke of Greaves, she is delighted-and determined to enjoy her last nights of freedom before surrendering her hand. Inviting Sophia for Christmas is a daring courtesy on Adam's part, but he soon finds the pleasure is all his.

Sophia is beautiful, courageous, and stubbornly self-sufficient despite her scandalous circumstances-and not at all the kind of woman he could possibly marry. Adam knows he must find a wife by his thirtieth birthday or he will lose his fortune. But can he defy convention-and convince Sophia-to risk it all in the name of true love? General Fiction.

While I love this series and the women of the Tautlus House, this book didn't work as well for me. I liked Sophie, Adam didn't work as well for me here. I liked him in the other books, but here in his own story, he came off as rude and borish. Sophie after being given an ulitmatium from her sperm donor father, the Duke of Hennessey, that she is to marry a vicor out in the hinterlands or he will destroy the Tautlus House.

Sophie can't have that so she agrees, but he has given her until the new year to get married. Adam has invited her to his hourse for his Christmas party and Sophie wants some sweet memories to take with her to her new life. Adam for his part has to be married by his next birthday or he looses everything to his sister's son. So he also invited some eligible ladies to look over as well. But a freak accident leaves Sophie and Adam there at the house practically by themselves.

They enjoy themselves and start to deepen their relationship that had been sparking for awhile. Adam loves Sophie's zest for life and falls into making her holiday bright.

Once everybody else shows up though Adam reverts back to being a Duke instead of loving all the sides of Sophie. Keaton and Cammy are also there and are trying their best to come up with someway to save Sophie from her fate. Even Adam is wracking his brains to come up with a way, but his only solution is one that Sophie can't live with and soon leaves to meet her new life. Of course it is the worst sort of hell on earth for Sophie as she meets her fiance.

But soon Adam wakes up and realizes that there is only one solution that will allow Sophie to stay in his heart and life. Things that didn't work for me was the love scenes were at the 10, feet level and not SE's usual attention to that kind of detail. The ending was also extremely short and abrupt. I wanted to see Sophie to tell her fiance to go suck the Devil's toes and take his troll of a mother with him. But I am just mean like that. Plus Adam needed to do a bit more groveling in order for me to believe in his redemption.

Still looking forward to the next in the series. View all 3 comments.

This is the third book of the Scandalous Brides series. I would say this book would be okay as a standalone.

It's probably a bit more enjoyable knowing the last book, but not necessary. The characters from the previous story, Camille and Keating, have quite a bit of page time, but you won't be lost or miss anything if you skip it. Sophia has a bit of page time as well as Adam in the previous book so you get to know their personalities a bit.

Sophia is our heroine and I did like her. I enjoyed her This is the third book of the Scandalous Brides series. I enjoyed her dialogue. She was quick, witty, optimistic and funny. Her life hasn't been the best.

She's the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman and his maid and has never been allowed to forget it. Eventually, she came to find a place at the Tantalus Club.

However, her father is done with dealing with the embarrassment and demands she leaves the club and marries a vicar. Sophia is invited to the Duke of Greaves holiday house party and she longs for once last chance for fun before she's married off and forgotten about. Adam has a family problem that he finally must resolve. He has to marry by the age of 30 and sire an heir by 31 or all his unentailed property and wealth will go to his extremely unlikable viper of a sister and her son. Unfortunately the time has come, so he invites a hoard of eligible women to his Christmas house party.

So I think I liked the previous book in the series more than this. I still liked this one more than book one though. There's plenty to love about this book and so many adorable scenes. Yet something happened to not pull it together as strongly as it should have for me.

It was low on feels and tension for me. I think you will like this book if: -you love a duke! The hero referenced a naked pillow fight as a joke.

Was that a thing back then? But it just brought to mind little teenagers with braces for me. They jump into sex pretty fast, some of the dialogue felt a little modern, there's condoms.

None of these things bother me but just added up together in this book I think it just wasn't grabbing me like I wanted it to. Still enjoyable! I have the final book in the series to read, but I'll probably wait a few weeks before picking it up.

Another great book in Suzanne Enoch's Scandalous Brides series, focusing on the women of "unfortunate circumstances" that work at the gentlemen's gaming establishment known as the Tantalus Club. Sophia White, the bastard daughter of a duke, has been forced to quit her employment at the Club because her father has surfaced for the first time in her life and demand she marry a country vicar he has chosen, thereby removing the blemish on his "good" name.

Fortunately, Sophia has a short reprieve bef Another great book in Suzanne Enoch's Scandalous Brides series, focusing on the women of "unfortunate circumstances" that work at the gentlemen's gaming establishment known as the Tantalus Club. Fortunately, Sophia has a short reprieve before her impending doom and has been invited to a Christmas house party being hosted by Adam, the Duke of Greaves. On her way to the party, a bridge leading to the estate collapses and Sophia's carriage plunges into an icy body of water.

Sophia is rescued by the Duke and taken to his home; however, she is his only guest for 2 weeks, as the fallen bridge makes it impossible for the other partygoers to join them. Adam has arranged this Christmas party for the sole purpose of finding a suitable wife - not that he wants a wife, mind you - but he will turn 30 in less than 3 months and it is stipulated in his father's will that he must marry before then or lose all of his holdings to his sister's 9yr old son.

Sophia is far from a suitable wife but Adam invited her on a whim one night at the Club. She is a beauty, after all, with her brilliant red hair Deliberately ignoring Adam's attempt to adhere to social propriety, Sophia treats him as if he was her equal Eventually, Adam relaxes and truly enjoys the fortnight he spends with Sophie Unfortunately for the new lovers, the bridge is repaired and their idyllic paradise is interrupted by 20 now-unwanted guests.

Sophia tries to remain unaffected by all the snide remarks from the ladies and the lewd advances from the men, but watching Adam parading around with his potential brides-to-be Making matters worse, Adam sets his cap on the most beautiful of the purebred ladies and then asks Sophia to be his mistress.

Terribly hurt but resigned to her fate, Sophia slips away from the estate on Christmas Day and sets off for Cornwall where the unknown vicar resides. As always, Suzanne Enoch breathes life into an interesting cast of characters with a worthwhile story to tell. Sophia is lighthearted and fun She brings the best out of Adam when they are together, and for the first time in 30 years he is content and enjoying life.

Therefore, when he realizes the horrible truth of what his actions have done to Sophie, he kicks all of his guests to the curb and tears up the countryside is his quest to find her, beg her forgiveness and bring her home. Rules to Catch a Devilish Duke is historical romance at its finest.

Highly recommended! View all 4 comments. Jul 14, PoligirlReads rated it did not like it. I am cheap, and Enoch is one of the few authors that can get me to crack my wallet open. Unfortunately, I should've just stuck with the public library waiting list. This one was a real clunker. How can you mess up a story that takes place at Christmastime?! Everybody loves a good seasonal read. Neither hero nor heroine are particularly likeable. It's repetitive, especially at the beginning.

Yes, we get it: Sophia just wants to have one more wonderful Christmas before getting hitched to the vicar I am cheap, and Enoch is one of the few authors that can get me to crack my wallet open. Yes, we get it: Sophia just wants to have one more wonderful Christmas before getting hitched to the vicar. Yes, we get it: Adam's gotta get hitched before he turns the big There's no need to repeatedly beat us over the head with it. I think another problem of this book is that there's not much of a storyline, because there's not much in way of tension.

If your book starts out with: "Hey pretty lady, I dig you. Let's do it! Except for downhill. If there was anything redeeming, the book did feature two mastiffs. I give a star for the mastiffs. I am still waiting on Jenny's Genevieve book. Please say that one is next, and that it won't be a dud. Like this one.

I've mentioned in another review I really loathe historicals that have h's with modern day values and this book was chock a block full of them I had a huge problem at the beginning of the book when the H walks in on the h having a bath and the h didn't seem to care, and i was ready to give up the book then, but i persevered hoping that somehow the h and H would change.

She didn't and i skipped to the end to see how the situation was going to resolve itself. I hope Suzanne Enoch finishes with the Tantalus Club books soon and starts a new series and i can go back to enjoying her work again. View 2 comments. Sep 25, Lori Howe rated it really liked it. Best of the series so far :- couldn't put it down. Best of the series so far This book!!!! It took my breath away!!! When I first read its plot, I immediately knew that I must read it, so I put it there, on my "to-read" shelf waiting for the day when I could finally get my hands on it.

After many times searching for a source to read this book online, or at least an epub file that I could download, finally my call was answered! I finally found the epub file of "Rules to Catch a Devilish Duke", and immediately started to devour it. This book is the third book of the "Scandalous Brides" series, whose second book I'm also currently reading.

And judging from the speed in which I finish this third book, I must say it is the best of the series ha ha : Gosh, it has everything I love to read about in a historical romance. The two main characters had such depths to their personalities and life stories that I felt my heart ache for them so many times. They both suffered from the prejudice and judgment of other people.

And throughout the course of the story, they both learned how to put those things aside and truly embrace their true selves, while falling in love with each other.

And Sophia, you go girl! She is one of the most impressive female heroines I have ever read in historical romance genre. How the Society viewed her was shaped by her birth - which was NOT her fault. And she didn't let that view affect her life and personality. She grew up like sunshine, paved her own way in the world and lived her life as she wanted.

Gosh, I, like Adam, really admired that. What's better than a storng female lead? I wish there were an epilogue, so that we could know how happily ever after Adam and Sophia's marriage was, and how they both dealt with the reaction of the Society once they were married. It would be a miracle if she wrote one. However, I still gave this book 5 twinkling stars thanks to its characters' depth and development, and their both hilarious, both heartbreaking journey to find love.

I want you to be a part of my life, and I would like to be a part of yours. I want to live my life with you, and I want to have children with you, and I want them to be good-humored and strong like you are. I love … I love you, Sophia.

I think I have since you wore that silly yellow dress. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again to look up at her face. Be my wife. Be my duchess. Be anything you want, but do it with me. Save me. Save us both. Oct 07, The Window Seat rated it really liked it. Sophia White, a dealer at the Tantalus Club, presents herself as just another pretty face and rarely allows the patrons of the club see her true personality. As the illegitimate daughter of a Duke, Sophia has long held herself above stigmas that society places on natural children and has even thrived when she found her place within the walls of the Tantalus.

Sep 30, Janine rated it really liked it Shelves: romance , audiobooks. I listened to this book and would have loved to give it 5 stars, but I didn't like the ending.

I felt like the book ended WAY too abruptly. The Duke of Greaves asked Sophia to marry him, she says yes and it's finished. The ending would have been much better if the Duke would have arrived with a special license, made the self-important, pretentious Vicar marry them, then put him on a ship to India and put his mother in a convent. They introduced that nasty young Vicar and then nothing. Greaves sh I listened to this book and would have loved to give it 5 stars, but I didn't like the ending.

Greaves should have confronted him in some way. I loved Sophia. She was like a breath of fresh air. I loved the interactions between her and the servants and Greaves. Of course, I also love Keating - he doesn't take any crap off of anyone. I guess he's a bit hot-headed, but for all the right reasons. I really enjoyed this book and I will listen to it over and over again.

I really liked Sophia in book two of this series, but man, her martyr bullshit got old quick. Graves was cool for the most part, but his inability to see what was right in front of him was a bit off-putting.
