Enjoy this stunning read from USA Today Bestselling author Wendy Vella.Seven years after her disastrous debut, Miss Patience Allender has reluctantly returned to society to chaperone her sister. No longer the meek, mild Miss, she will never again allow a man to humiliate her. However, Patience’s … humiliate her. However, Patience’s resolve is severely tested when she comes face-to-face, with the very man who shattered her heart. Desperate for help when her family is thrust into danger, he is the only one she can turn to – but can she do so and keep her heart whole or will he destroy her once again?

Unlikeable hero.
Found the basis of the book unlikely and unlikable.
Good
The story is overall sweet and the only thing that bothered me about this book and lowered the rating were the different dates on the death of Anthony. It went from seven, nine to twelve years and as it has an impact on the relationship of the main characters it was annoying.
Started out well, then as if another person took over and then we had gratuitous sex . Seriously! Liked it except for that.
Liked how he persisted, in spite of her putting him off.
Great light reading. Very entertaining.
The story of Patience and Matthew was fun to watch. I loved how Patience took care and loved her family. Watching her and Matthew interact when he had no idea what he had done wrong had it’s quirky moments. I did like seeing how both people changed over the course of the story and realized they needed each other and it was ok to accept someone’s help!
Loved it. Love this author.
Well written story that moved right along. Was sorry to see it end.
Couldn’t finish, too unoriginal.
This was an easy read, page turner. It satisfied all the longings of a romantic, regency, addict! I would highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tempting Miss Allender is a fabulous historical romance by Wendy Vella. Ms. Vella has given us a well-written book and loaded it with outstanding, lovable characters. Patience is trying to keep her sister and brother safe from her cousin. Mathew is an old friend of the family and unknowingly broke Patience’s heart years ago. Their story is loaded with action, suspense, humor, drama and sexy bits. This book held me hostage from start to finish. I enjoyed every page of Tempting Miss Allender and look forward to my next book by Wendy Vella. Tempting Miss Allender is book 3 of the Regency Rakes Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
Typical story line but loved the twists and turns.
