    About this ebook

    "This lively, humorous romp — Lee's ingenious take on My Fair Lady — may be her best book yet!"—RT Book Reviews

    Brant Wesley Hallowsby is a mercenary for wealthy aristocracy, but he meets his match in Bella "Bluebell" Ballinger, a blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty, which means she's trouble

    As the illegitimate son of a duke, Bramwell Wesley Hallowsby grew up tough, on the fringes of society, learning to hide his hurt and cynicism with charm and Town polish. He's carved out a place for himself as a mercenary, serving as bodyguard and general strong arm for the peerage. Bram has nothing to lose… and he's exactly what Maybelle "Bluebell" Ballenger needs.

    Maybelle needs a mentor to teach her to speak and act like a lady, so she can claim the place in society she was denied. As they team up to take on the ton, Bram knows she's hiding something even from him. Despite the deception he sees behind those sparkling blue eyes, Bram wants to believe that Maybelle's love is no lie. But it seems fate has served him up his just desserts in the likes of this determined damsel.

    Praise for 50 Ways to Ruin a Rake:

    "Lee creates a wonderful read full of madness and mayhem." —RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 stars

    "Wonderfully whimsical characters…served up with plenty of frothy fun." —Booklist

    Jade Lee

    Jade Lee, a USA Today bestseller, has two passions (well, except for her family, but that's a given). She loves dreaming up stories and playing racquetball, not always in that order. When her pro-racquetball career ended with a pair of very bad knees, she turned her attention to writing. An author of more than 30 romance novels, she's decided that life can be full of joy without ever getting up from her chair.

      This is the first book i've read by Jade Lee and i really loved her writing. This is not your average romance. The main characters were worldy and i loved how the heroine was neither timid nor had any nonsensical behavior, The hero, Bram, was a little too dreary at the beginning, much to pessimistic but towards the end he was fantastic.I really enjoyed the secondary characters especially Dick and Clarissa, they always made me chuckle with their tales and whats not to love about a drunk pig. I would definitely be reading more of her books. THANKS TO SOURCEBOOKS CASABLANCA AND NETGALLERY FOR THIS ADVANCED READER'S COPY

      One Rogue at a Time by Jade LeeRakes and Rogues #2. Historical romance. Bramwell is the illegitimate son of a Duke. Because of his status, he works as a mercenary and bodyguard for the peerage. He meets Maybelle in a small countryside parish where she outmaneuvers him with intelligence and cunning. Maybelle is determined to be acknowledged in proper society but she knows that she needs to learn to speak properly. Meeting Bram is her perfect opportunity to learn, copy his speech patterns, and practice those “H’s” and “my” enunciations. Entertaining oneupmanship, sensual pleasures, (steamy!) and acceptance. Maybelle is smart and determined and quickly able to pick up and mimic Bram’s speech. Listening on an audiobook, I could clearly hear his dialect and her original and corrected annunciation. The narrator did a wondering job dropping and changing her patterns. The audiobook performance moved this from 4 to 5 for me.
