Customer Reviews

Can't believe the bad reviews!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the characters were both likeable, the chemistry was awesome, the story was very interesting - and the sex scenes were sooooo hot. I highly recommend this book.

A fun and entertaining read.

I absolutely loved LET SLEEPING ROGUES LIE. It was a fun read and kept me completely engrossed throughout the entire book. I was so into the book that I couldn't put it down and finished the entire book in one day. The characters were witty and kept me smiling throughout most of the story and the intimate scenes were by far some of the hottest I've read recently. They were so hot that I found myself blushing quite furiously at certain points of the story. There have been several comments about how some of the plots were either underplayed or overplayed, and how it was rather inconceivable that Madeline wouldn't just confess her purpose to Anthony, but I have to agree with the commenter that pointed out that this is all very much human nature. And it was those very "self preservation" characteristics that made the book so realistic to me. Overall I loved the book, had a lot of fun reading it and would recommend it to all of my fellow readers.

Delightful!

Sabrina Jeffries has been an auto buy for me since I first discovered her. I have read every one of her books, including those she wrote under the name Deborah Martin, and I have enjoyed them all. But I think I have to say I loved this book the most. There's no need to go into the plot. Others here have done that already. And though I agree that the premise of a girls school hiring a man to give "rake" lessons to the students is a bit beyond the realm of possibility I also must say that I read these books to be entertained so it was pretty easy to suspend my disbelief and just go with the plot. All her books tend to follow the same formula, including when the "consummation" takes place (page 240, give or take a few pages), but that really does not detract from the story line. And where some authors seem to try too hard to instill humor in their books I found myself laughing out loud at seveal points. (Milking a cow comes to mind; you'll just have to read the book to see what I mean.) So if you want to spend a few hours immersed in a good book, with a good plot, likable characters, HOT encounters and fun situations you can't go wrong with Sabrina Jeffries' latest.

great book, can't stop reading

if you've never read anyother book before, well this is the book for you. i ordered my copy in advanced and was so thrilled when it arrived. They was the characters are presented is just great and there is always plenty of passion, so don't fret. As the book continues your views will chsnge about the charatcers (essecially the rogue). This book can also give you great moral advice on people. You can never judge a book by its cover. Have fun

An thoroughly enjoyable steamy romp!

I thought this was an excellent addition to the School for Heiresses series. I will agree with a few of the other reviewers that have mentioned that a lot of negative traits about the hero and heroine were brought to the forefront. However, from my perspective this only added to their humanity in making them more real. All of us have some weaknesses or certain "logical to us" thoughts that we tend to let rule us a bit more than they should at times. I felt like that is what we saw a great deal of with both Madeline and Anthony. Being a somewhat scientific (bordering on nerdy/geek) person myself, I found the perspective and approach of both Madeline and Anthony completely realistic and enjoyable and honestly a bit refreshing considering we don't often come across characters such as these in your "typical" romance novel. I thought the intimate scenes were incredibly hot and the tension that was built right from the opening scenes was done nicely. It kept the story moving along at an enjoyable pace and each encounter between the characters seemed to raise that sexual tension a notch or two every time. There were some comments regarding how Anthony and Madeline at times were each deceiving the other to the point of selfishness and yet were willing to accept the other's reasoning for some of their less than admiral behavior. For me...that is life. Both Anthony and Madeline were facing some very difficult (to put it mildly) events in their lives that required they focus selfishly on their own goals. When you first meet someone...no matter how attracted you are to them, you are not going to put their needs ahead of yours if you are facing a very dire situation. These characters both started out desperately needing a solution to their problems and in each other they saw a means to end (again, they know nothing of each other at the onset, just that the other can potentially help with their respective situations...in essence they both are viewing that the other is getting just as much out of this "selfish" situation as they are). Now, as they begin to know each other better you begin to see both Anthony and Madeline struggle with some of their "selfish" choices and rethink what they are doing. That was part of the beauty of this book, IMO. In any event, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and zipped right through it, finding it very difficult to put down.
