The Wayward Woodvilles #7
Mijn roekeloze Graaf
Om haar 'en ze leefden nog lang en gelukkig' te krijgen, is ze bereid iets roekeloos te doen...
Juffrouw Harlow York is al maanden bezig met het plannen van haar tweede seizoen in Londen, en ze is eindelijk klaar om haar doel te het hart van de ongrijpbare graaf Kemsley veroveren. Het zal niet gemakkelijk zijn, maar ze is meer dan bereid om de uitdaging aan te gaan. En één ding is zeker. Hij zal geen idee hebben wat hem overkomt...
Lord Kemsley is niet geïnteresseerd in liefde of het huwelijk. Het vrijgezellenleven is voor hem. Maar dat betekent niet dat hij anderen de kans zou ontzeggen. Dus, wanneer de verrukkelijke Harlow hem om hulp vraagt bij het veroveren van het hart van een andere heer, doet hij graag mee. Hij is niet van plan zelf voor haar te vallen. Dat is tenminste het plan...
Hij is vastbesloten vrijgezel te blijven. Zij is vastbesloten hem van gedachten te doen veranderen. Laat de strijd der wilskracht - en harten - beginnen...

Harlow and Wes are meant to be even if he doesn't know it. Harlow is scheming to catch Wes as her husband.
Wes is determined to remain a bachelor.
Miss Harlow York has been planning for her second season in London for months, and she’s finally ready to achieve her goal: winning the heart of the elusive Earl Kemsley. It won’t be easy, but she’s more than up for the challenge. And one thing is certain. He’ll have no idea what hit him…
Lord Kemsley isn’t interested in love or marriage. The bachelor life is for him. But that doesn’t mean he’d deny others the opportunity. So, when the delectable Harlow asks for his help winning another gentleman’s heart, he’s all in. He has nointention of falling for her himself. That’s the plan, at least…
He’s determined to remain a bachelor. She’s determined to change his mind. Let the battle of wills—and hearts—begin.

Miss Harlow York has her eyes set on the man she loves and doesn't know she exists. She has a plan. A known rake and confirmed bachelor, the Earl of Kemsley is shocked at her request. Help her to win the gentleman she loves, only she doesn't reveal it's him. From glances, touch, food and kisses, things are progressing nicely, until it goes too far and the game is up. A very hot, sensual, explicit, sometimes funny, sometimes sad romance.

Wes and Harlow’s story could be titled A Reckless Lady as easily as A Reckless Earl! They both know their hearts and are reckless together, but one just won’t admit and accept it - until it is too late. Their story is steamy and heartbreaking… can this couple recover and have their happily ever after? Great story!

My Reckless Earl is the seventh novel in the addictive Wayward Woodvilles series by Tamara Gill and is another delicious regency romance with a passion, chemistry and sensuality.
Miss Harlow York has been planning her second Season in London for months and she’s finally ready to put her plan in action. Harlow wants to win the heart of the elusive Earl Kemsley, renowned rake and bachelor. She know it’s not an easy feat but she’s more than up for the challenge—-in fact he’s not going to know what hit him. Lord Kemsley isn’t interested in love or marriage. He’s happy enjoying the bachelor lifestyle and all the indulgences that come along with it. That doesn’t mean he’s opposed to others finding happiness. Which is why when the delectable Harlow York asks for his help winning another gentleman’s heart he’s more than willing to help her. He’ll teach her the best way to seduce her hearts desire and help get her secure a love match. He just didn’t anticipate Harlow would be such a good student or that his tutelage might see him falling for the beauty himself. He’s determined to remain a bachelor and she’s determined to change his mind. In the battle of wills, hearts are on the line and Harlow and Kemsley are both in for the battle of their lives….
Tamara Gill offers readers another passionate romance with My Reckless Earl. Full of stolen kisses, moments of passion and unrestrained desire, My Reckless Earl sweeps readers into a battle of wills as our heroine Harlow fights to win the heart of elusive rogue Lord Kemsley without him even realising what is happening. I admit I was a little apprehensive heading into this instalment as for once I didn’t care for an upcoming leads actions like I did for Harlow on the last novel. I found her selfish and naive in the previous novel but thankfully Tamara Gill managed to redeem her in My Reckless Earl.
Unlike the last novel, I did end up caring for Harlow as a character and understood why she did what she is in this novel. She literally put everything on the line in order to win the object of her desire with My Reckless Earl proving that jealously is a powerful motivator—as is love. I found that Harlow and Wes suited each other and had a very steamy chemistry together. Honestly it’s hilarious how he never once suspects that he might be the object of her affections and remains clueless until Harlow eventually decides to clue him in.
Passionate and sensual, My Reckless Earl is another emotion and romantic read from Tamara Gill that thrills from beginning to end.

The seventh book in the series & it could very easily be read on its own. We met Harlow in the previous book where her sister found love. I loved both Harlow & Wes, she’s determined to win his love, he's determined to remain a bachelor but Harlow gets under his skin & he can't keep away from her or deny her. Then she reveals the truth & the proverbial hits the fan! I adored their journey to a HEA & read this brilliant book in a sitting. I loved everything about it, the chemistry, the steam & the humour.

Since 2015, I have read hundreds and hundreds of different authors but I only have 31 authors that I consider my favorites and have read all their books (in my genre). Tamara Gill is one my those favorites.
This is my 45th book by her. I read “Defiant Surrender” back in 2014 when I was only reading time travel genre. I picked her up again and started reading her regularly in late 2018. She gets better and better.
She is one of those authors that you forget how good she really is until you read the next book of hers. I love her writing, her stories, her characters and she also writes some of the best damn sex scenes.
I Loved Harlow and Wes. I loved this story. I loved their characters and I just loved them as a couple. Such a fun read. LOVED, LOVED.

Get out the fans, ladies, you will definitely need some cool air blowing while reading this story. I swear almost every time I read one of Tamara’s books I say “this is my favorite” because they are all so good. Okay, here goes, this ranks right up there with all of my other favorites. Harlow is the sister from the last book and she really wants Wes/Kemsley since she is totally in love with him. I loved the tension that ran through the story. Let me tell you, when Wes finds out…lawdy, don’t be anywhere near him, just saying. As the saying goes, “rakes do make the best husbands”. I just loved this story.

I always enjoy books by Tamara Gill, and this is no exception. This is a well written book, which I read in one day, I did not want to put it down. This is about Harlow York who was in love with the Earl of Kemsley, Wes, but he never really noticed her, so she made a plan, she would ask Wes to teach her how to be seductive to catch the man she is in love with and have him ask her to marry him. Wes agreed not knowing the man is him. The chemistry between Harlow and Wes is undeniable. Wes is a rake and does not want to get married for a few years, if at all.
I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest opinion.

Yummy! Yummy! What a fantastic story! I was so very fortunate to receive an ARC of My Reckless Earl by the fantastic Tamara Gill. Learning everything about seduction is key to this story. Harlow York wants Lord Kemsley to teach her how to seduce the man she is in love with, someone who doesn't even know she exists. Little does Wes Kemsley know that that man is he himself. Little does Harlow know that Wes is actually very attracted to her as well, but believes in his continued bachelorhood. This is not just a romance story, but rather an educational tutelage on keeping the fire burning in our relationships. A truly sensual story, very elegantly and tastefully written.

4.5 stars
Wes was a rake but I really think he was more fearful of committing than anything else!
Harlow actually meets him a assignation with a Merry Widow!
But she has been fascinated and even in love with the Cad and determined to win him. But can she!
This story is explosive and at times I dislike Wes as he is sometimes manipulative. Harlow for all of her reading is an innocent an he crosses several lines all at the same time!
Wes does finally get it but it’s almost too late! Harlow has given up or has she!
I love a rake brought to his knees, not sure why Wes was the way he was he seemed to have a lovely mother! Bravo! Can’t wait for the next one!

I am generally enjoying Tamara Gill's books but sadly that was not the case. I find Harlow unlikable (especially in the previous book!). The whole premise of this book is silly. What kind of gentleman would risk marriage for a few stolen kisses with a debutante?
Her idea is that if he doesn't see her in romantic light this will change if she will allow him liberties and let him think she loves someone else...
I have not finished this book and I don't think I will. I started several days ago, and after short reading, I am getting irritated again and stopped reading!

Loved reading Harlow and Wes's story. It was also wonderful to catch up with Lila and Knox. Harlow has loved Wes from afar until she dreams up a plan to get Wes to really notice her. A plan that involves a mysterious non-existent man that she implies that she needs Wes's help to learn how to flirt, kiss etc. All goes well until it all falls apart and soon hearts and love leads to pain. Will Wes give up or fight for her or will Harlow put herself beyond Wes's reach forever.

Harlow ran from London last season and sent her sister back in her place to hide from a proposal she didn't want. This year she's back and determined to get the Man she does want to notice her. One problem Wes has NO Plans to marry any time soon. Will Harlow succeed or is she just asking for more trouble. You'll love reading the journey they take to their Happily Ever After!
Thanks to Tamara Gill for the ARC copy of this book and Happy 50th Book release!

This book is a delight, start to finish! Harlow and Wes (Lord Kemsley) have a chemistry and passion between them that sizzles off the pages!

He is attracted to her as well, but being confirmed take that doesn’t wish to be caught, he stays away from marriage minded debutantes. But when Harlow devises a plan to win his heart, who will be the one getting burned?

An exciting story in which Harlow is attempting to have Lord Kemsley as her husband, but he is not the marrying kind. She asks him to teach her the art of courtship, as she has a gentleman in mind. He shows her how to flirt - by a look, a touch, a kiss and so much more - and with her body!
Great characters and plot. I loved this hot story. 5☆

A good read
Harlow formed a plan to win the man she wanted, she asked for lessons from a rake on how to win her man. It was not good of her to use his lessons against himself, although in the end she did win him. The antics she played was very fun to read. I highly recommend this book. 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤

Harlow and Wes have a natural chemistry, and I enjoyed the story and build up of passion between them. I'm not sure I liked the deceit she undertook to get her man but love wins out in the end. Overall, a wonderful and captivating romance.

This series marches on with gusto
This is another brilliantly put together story that sees this series marching on with gusto. The emotional suspense coupled with the amazing characters keep this steamy book most entertaining.

This was so good!
The Woodville girls never pass up a chance to pull a good stunt. I became so enthralled in the story, my hubby had to yell to get my attention. 😁 Wes was so much fun. I couldn't even get over the way Harlow had him in twists. Such a good book!

Rakes certainly give the most drama
I do love a good fiery woman and when combined with a skilled rake, the combination is explosive. Tamara's writing is beautiful and her characters explode off the page to take the reader by storm, just as much as they take each other.

Excellent.
I read book 7 after book 8 and even though the books intersect well it didn’t prove to be a problem.
This book is well written, progresses well and kept my interest throughout.
A very enjoyable series.

That is a beautiful story
To go to the lengths that our heroine did to win her true love was almost lost the best laid plans however was.... Read it and see, but prepared for a little sadness.

Scandalous
Harrow’s antic were quite enjoyable. She was certainly pining over Wes for what felt like an eternity. Quite pleasurable that he finally realized his love for her
