Review: The Naked Baron by Sally MacKenzie

The Naked Baron
by Sally MacKenzie
(Naked Nobility # 2)

Lady Grace Belmont has come to London with her recently widowed Aunt Kate to have one season before her father marries her off to their exceedingly boring neighbour. Her Aunt Kate is encouraging her to look for other eligible gentleman before she settles, but she didn't expect her to immediately be attracted to Baron Dawson. David, Baron Dawson, has come to London with his Uncle Alex to find a wife but all the London misses hold none of his attention, until of course he sees the ravishing Lady Grace.

This book was very much like the first one in the series; funny and light hearted, with a very likeable main couple. The Naked Baron also had the benefit of having a very strong secondary romance, in fact I hesitate to call is secondary and it had almost the same amount as page time as the main couple Grace and David.

Both romances were cute and very very lusty, I swear the men in this just walked around with constant erections, every time they so much as looked at the heroine. It was funny in someways, but I felt the romance was dampened a little by the way the David just constantly thought about her boobs! He had a serious obsession, I never got the impression he married her because he loved her, but more because he was dying to see her breasts!

But it was a fun read and although I won't rush out and buy the next one I will probably read it...eventually!

Review: The Naked Duke by Sally MacKenzie

The Naked Duke
by Sally MacKenzie
(Naked Nobility # 1)

Although this book did have some good bits and some humorous situations and dialogue, I can't rate it more then a 3 feathers, as for me it was just a bit average; I didn't hate it and I didn't love it and I will probably forget about it fairly quickly.

Everyone was very pleasant in it and it was very lighthearted, I was hoping it would be a it like Julia Quinn's style of romance; humorous and romantic and with no real angst in it. However, it was no where near as good. The hero James, the Duke of Alford (the Naked Duke of the title!) seemed a bit lecherous most of the time, all he seemed to be thinking about was the quickest way to see the heroines breasts! For me it wasn't very romantic, they didn't seem to have a single conversation where he wasn't talking about getting her naked. There was also a slight discordant note to this book, as one minute you are reading light hearted banter and the next it cuts to a scene where his evil cousin rapes and strangles (simultaneously) a girl, which just completely threw me off!

But it was a light, easy read which although I may not seek another book out I would pick it up if it showed up in my library.
