Description
Jennifer Monroe spins a tantalizing tale of two very unlikely lovers in this intriguing friends-to-lovers Regency romance between a young beauty and a scarred beast of an earl, who is dead-set on vengeance.
To get his revenge, he needs a fiancée...
Nicholas, Lord Dowding, is a dangerous and reckless man. For more than five years, revenge has been the earl's only goal as he traveled England seeking to ruin the lives of those who once wronged his family.
Earning himself the moniker "Earl of Deception" for his deadly, scheming ways, Nicholas is close to putting the past to rest once and for all. The only problem? He'll need a woman by his side to do it.
To play the role of a lifetime, she'll bargain her heart...
Her education could never have prepared the romantic dreamer Miss Jenny Clifton,, for a man like Nicholas. When the earl arrives at the school to call in a favor she never expected to have to repay, Jenny is quickly caught up in a dangerous game where she must first pose as his fiancée.
Nicholas is dashing but ruthless, and his heart is heavily scarred by his past when he asks Jenny to pose as his fiancée. But she can't help being drawn to this man who blazes with passion wherever he goes.
The greatest deception of all...
She's just a lovestruck silly schoolgirl who owes him a favor. Their burgeoning friendship is a bonus, but what he requires of her is strictly business. It's a simple enough plan—in theory.
…Is between a man and his unruly heart.
But Nicholas finds Jenny is one entanglement he cannot easily escape. While the girl is vexingly naive and innocent, she also burns with a beauty and sensuality that makes his heart beat faster. Soon Nicholas finds himself brought to his knees by a woman who holds a power even greater than that of deception: love.

I received an ARC of The Earl of Deception by Jennifer Monroe from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This is the first book I have read by this author. I can't wait to read the previous books in this series as well as the upcoming books.
Nicholas, Earl of Dowding, dubbed Earl of Deception, is a jaded man who neither believes in love anymore nor in the truthfulness of people. He is out for revenge against the men who were involved in the death of his sister. Jenny Clifton is naive and young, but had an abundance of common sense. Both Nicholas and Jenny have an immediate attraction to each other because of their beauty, but soon come to learn the beauty that is beheld in their personalities. A nice book to read!

Nicholas Dowding known to some as the Earl of Deception was on a mission to get revenge from five men who had wronged his family. Four down and one to go, he needed a make believe fiancée to move forward to his next target. Miss Jenny Clifton resided at Mrs Rutley’s School for Young Women and had previously dropped her handkerchief. Nicholas had picked it up and made her promise to do him a favour if ever he requested it of her.
Nicholas now needed a make believe fiancée to carry out the last part of his revenge and decided to pretend to woo Jenny into his make believe fiancée. Jenny was a dreamer and her heart’s desire was to be loved by a man, have children and live happily together.
Nicholas found that he could not deceive Jenny and destroy her innocence, he wanted to protect her and her innocence so agreed that they should be friends. Still fighting his feelings for her he asked as a friend if she would pretend to be his fiancée at his masquerade ball he was holding.
A beautiful well written clean romantic story about finding that perfect someone, even in the midst of revenge! Nicholas and Jenny were perfect for each other and I really enjoyed their journey.
I loved the secondary character of Mr Thomas who had helped Nicholas gain his revenge for the last five years. What a twist with plenty of intrigue and mystery. I can’t wait for Louisa’s story!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I will be leaving reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub

Can the Earl of Deception put aside his mask for the one woman that can set his world to right?
I have really enjoyed the series. You don't need to read the previous books in order to enjoy this one. (Although I recommend it, the rest are really good too.) The Sisterhood of Secrets every young lady has her secret including the head Mistress. As these tales unfold its is wonderful to see the girls grow and find their love and how it comes to be. There is intrigue and a little bit of action and of course a clean love story. As this young lady discovered there has to be honesty in order for love to bloom. I think that was my favorite part of the book. How and why she discovers this truth.
I recieved a free copy so that I can tell you what I honestly think. Hope you enjoyed my review. Now go enjoy the book.
