Publisher's Summary:
Darius Carsington is a spectacularly attractive rake, who's all brains and brawn...and no heart; a man who's equally expert at bedding loose-moraled women and writing scholarly papers. He finds society's "perfect darlings" exceedingly boring. Then why is he so intrigued by the supposedly faultless Lady Charlotte Hayward? Darius senses a crack under her polished surface - and finding it is a challenge he can't resist. Lady Charlotte is so beautiful, charming, and gracious that no one has noticed how expert she's been at not getting married. Early on, she learned a painful lesson about trust...and temptation. In the years since, she's devoted her life to being all she should be, and she's not about to let a man like Carsington entice her into doing everything she shouldn't. But the demands of the heart can easily overpower the rules of manners and morals. And sometimes, even the best-behaved lady must follow her instincts, even if it means risking it all.

Interesting story with wonderful characters
Kate Reading is AMAZING! (now that the obvious is out of the way :o)
Loretta Chase is a character writer - more to the point - a character interaction / dialogue writer. She can have (but usually doesn't) a lack luster story but her characters interactions and dialogue make the whole book wonderful.
This book had a little different story - not the typical girl looking for a man - falls in love with a rake. This is more girl is NOT looking for a man - falls for a rake - but has a secret that could ruin her family name. Okay the rake in this situation is the youngest Carsington brother - Darius. He is hard NOT to fall for. He's good looking (& knows it), charismatic (and knows it), and Oh those hands! Plus he takes a young unwanted boy who under his wing which makes him irresistible.
Charlotte is a great character and I absolutely love the interaction between her and Darius. I loved this book and it is definitely worth a credit!
Kate Reading: perfect narrator for Loretta Chase
4.5 stars because there are a few plot holes, but really, it's Loretta Chase so how bad could it be?
I am blessed with a poor memory. I say "blessed" because this means that I can read a book for a second time and not remember what's going to happen next. Saves me a lot of money on buying new books.
Anyway, I read Not Quite a Lady three years ago and gave it four stars. Kate Reading's narration was, as usual, spot on, so I bumped up my rating a bit. Truly, Kate Reading is the perfect narrator for Loretta Chase's books. She handles Chase's trademark rapid-fire banter perfectly.
In a couple of years, I no doubt will listen again and enjoy it just as much as the first time.
Loretta Chase is a genius
This is now one of my favorites! Loretta Chase is a genius.
I liked everything about this. The lead characters are wonderful. Pip is a cutie. The story is quite interesting and the narration is superb. Nothing wrong with this one.
Bring on the next in the series!
Modern Shakespeare
Love her humor love the performance she does not follow the routine predictable Romance. I will keep reading her forever. Thank you for the laughs!!
Witty dialogue had me laughing throughout
I really enjoyed the dialogue between the hero and heroine. It was witty with innuendo and verbal fun combat.
