Annabelle is the quiet one of Mr. Knightly’s Writing Girls. She has lived with her brother’s family since she was orphaned in her early teens and is treated more as a member of the household staff than as family. Her family thinks she spends her days working on charitable endeavors, having no idea that she is the Infamous, “Dear Annabelle”.
Mr. Knightly was the well-loved bastard son of a member of the Ton. He has worked hard to establish himself within their ranks by making his newspaper successful. The final item on his to do list is to marry well into the Ton to complete his transformation. There is drama in the publishing world, writers are being arrested all over London for unethical tactics they are using to get inside information for stories. Mr. Knightly has the chance to marry the daughter of the man spearheading these arrests, thus solidifying his newspaper and also completing his marriage goal. Things seem to be coming together for him, that is until he begins to notice Annabelle.
Annabelle’s readers have lots of suggestions for her to try, from lowering the bodice in her dress to pretending to faint. Seducing Mr. Knightly is a delightful, feel good novel, that will make you laugh out loud and will leave you smiling long after the last page has turned.
I read this story before realizing it was the fourth in Ms. Rodale’s Writing Girls Romance Series. I immediately bought the previous three books in this series (A Groom of One’s Own, A Tale of Two Lovers & The Tattooed Duke). This entire series is phenomenal and the books do not have to be read in order to be enjoyed!
Seducing Mr. Knightly is available for purchase for $4.74 for Kindle or $4.99 Nook and Mass Market Paperback for $7.99 at both Amazon & BN.com.

Aloha, Mommy Ives! Just stopping by to say "Hi" to my fellow Addicts! Love the Christmas Tree!
ReplyDeleteMen are usually intrigued by women who don't seem to notice them. Then it becomes a game to get them to notice them. So Annabelle ignore him.

Definitely don't appear too interested. Men seem to want what they they think they can't have.
ReplyDeleteI would wear my most seductive perfume, smile at him coyly beneath my fan and quote Shakespeare and Sir Isaac Newton to him!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me. Thanks for the giveaway!

Not entering but wanted to say, YOU ROCK!!! What an awesome review and giveway! Just lending my support and cheering you on. Big hugs from your sister addict.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great review, my sister in Avon Addiction ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I would say a pretty dress... something showy?
ReplyDeleteI guess that I would suggest to Annabelle that she could win over Mr. Knightly with humor. Make a man laugh and he will be sure to remember you. Oh and a few flirty looks as she leaves him with a smile couldn't hurt either. =)
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with a nice, noticeable bosom! Thanks for the chance to win!

Put on a beautiful dress, and wear your hair up. I have found that men love a womens hair up to see their neck. That is what my husband says anyway. Maybe a little low cut on the dress also to show some of the breasts. Not too much.

Great job?
ReplyDeleteAct like a real lady. Be friendly and outgoing and SMILE, Baby! Let your whole face light up!!
ReplyDeleteI think she should just be herself. If she fakes it, what good is it to get his notice?
ReplyDeleteI loved this book. My advice to Annabelle would be to act confident, be friendly and try to start a conversation with Mr. Knightly.

I haven't read her as yet but would love to!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! DOnt enter me- just stopping by!
ReplyDeleteConfidence - Men notice confidence more than they would shyness. A woman who is not afraid of her skin. Be original without crossing lines but don't be afraid to toe the line.

ReplyDeleteI've never been very good at that! I'd tell her to be sure to dress attractively.

Be yourself at all times and love the man with all you have. Pssss.... He loves you too, he just doesn't know it yet. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's the advice I'd give her. Love, love, love Maya's writing!
