But Adam, an unrepentant rake, would only renounce a life of scandalous pleasure for one woman, the woman he's lusted after - and loved - for years. I've now added Olivia Parker to my auto buy list of authors (and that list is short).Adam Faramond, Earl of Rothbury, needs to find a wife -immediately! - or his beloved grandmother swears she'll leave him penniless.

To Wed A Wicked Earl is a very satisfying follow up to a brilliant debut. He feels responsible for the happiness of everyone he cares for. He moves heaven and earth not to hurt his daffy grandmother. He also has that alpha overly heightened sense of responsibility. He knows he's right and that's good enough for him. He doesn't correct them though 'cause he's an alpha and alphas aren't too interested in what the masses think. Charlotte has the makings of a ravishing beauty. Rothbury, however, is sure they have it all wrong. Other nobles find her plain and unremarkable. He is as close to a real life alpha that I've ever found in a romance novel. What makes To Wed A Wicked Earl special is Rothbury. Charlotte vows to help Rothbury find a respectable bride and Rothbury uses the excuse of finding Charlotte a husband to stick close to her, knowing darn well that he'd never allow another man to touch her. The two team up as spouse hunting friends. So he pulls a typical guy stunt and romances every woman but her. The only woman he wants to marry is Charlotte but he feels she deserves better than a rake like him. His hilariously crazy and much beloved grandmother is threatening to sell off his property if he doesn't marry soon. The decadent Earl of Rothbury is in a similarly tight spot. Very creepy, as in liking young girls creepy. If she doesn't, she'll be forced to marry a very creepy old friend of her family. She has one last season to find a husband.

Charlotte is left broken hearted and alone. Only Lord Tristan DOESN'T choose her as his bride. If you've read the first novel, Charlotte, To Wed A Wicked Earl's heroine, is the friend fancying herself in love with Lord Tristan, the bride seeking noble. To Wed A Wicked Earl is the follow up to Olivia Parker's delicious debut novel At The Bride Hunt Ball. I was thrilled to find it in the bookstores. I've been waiting for this novel for so long (okay, only a little over a year but it feels like so long) that I almost forgot about it.
