Books 1-3 in the series!Wicked Lords require a special hand when it comes to taming them. These lovely ladies are up for the challenge.Earl of SussexWickedly sinful, the Earl of Sussex, is an unrepentant rake. The Wicked Earls’ Club is the perfect place for a man of his station to indulge. That is until his parents force a match that threatens to rob him of his freedom.

Except Lady Tabitha is nothing he expected, and everything he never knew he wanted. Too bad this fiery wallflower is equally bent on ending their engagement.
Lady Tabitha, daughter or the duke, will not be betrothed to a rake no matter what her father thinks of his social connections. As long as she doesn’t stare into the depths of his green eyes, or linger on the strong lines of jaw, she should be able to scheme her way out of this engagement. That is, if her intended groom would just cooperate in her plans.
But the more time they spend together, the harder their attraction is to deny.

First book was good remainder of series predictable and stale. Overly wordy
Three Reluctant Brides and Grooms
If you are looking for three light but engrossing Regency romances, then Wicked Lords of London, books 1-3, by Tammy Andresen should suit splendidly.
All three books have well developed characters who are both likable and interesting. Each story varies, but all are well written. My favorite was My Duke’s Seduction because it had a bit more intrigue and action, but Earl of Sussex was also a 5-stars read. I didn’t enjoy My Duke’s Deception as much as the first two, but overall I’m very glad I downloaded this set of enjoyable love stories. Lastly, each book has a very happy ending and a satisfying epilogue
Content 411: In addition to some mild swearing, all three books contain passionate kissing, suggestive thoughts and a few marginally descriptive sex scenes.
EARL OF SUSSEX
Lady Tabitha tames the wicked Earl of Sussex. He never expected she would be what he always wanted. Their attraction is hard to deny. This was an engaging passion filled journey to love they both weren’t expecting.
MY DUKE’S SEDUCTION
Ryker Pembroke, Duke of Landon, meets feisty Lady Tricia Riley at the docklands of all places. He saves her from danger, she keeps his secret and they will never meet again, or will they? She’s impulsive, caring and charming and he can’t stop falling for her. Another engaging story filled with witty banter and romance.
MY DUKE’S DECEPTION
Lord Matthew Evans, the Duke of Harlington is keeping his identity a secret from Lady Eleanor McIntyre. Can love from deception be won in the end? An enticing romance.
Great set also read books 4-6
I dont often read “fluffy” books like these Regency novels, but I did enjoy these. Good to read somthing light during this pandemic. I recommend this writer for the romantic and fun aspects.
Thought writing terrible!
Three stories in one package. I really enjoyed reading this set but I felt some of the characters were not as well developed as could have been. Still – I had fun reading this.
Series is awesome–1-3 and 4-6. Wonderful characters who come to life as they find love practically at first sight. Loves and relationships are lovable. Best if read in order–characters and books follow each other and it was great to see what happens to the members of the family and the friendships.
If you like historical romance you will love thisone
They were awesome
Loved it!
Interesting plot.
Three short stories that are easy reads and entertaining.
Quick fun read!
What is better than one wicked lord? Three of them and you have their story in this amazing box set! If you have ever read a book by Tammy Andresen you know you are in for a treat. If you have not, trust me, you will be addicted once you read just one of these!
The Earl of Sussex
Wow! So romantic and heartwarming! Can a known rake change his spots? Luke Bentley, Earl of Sussex was living his life just as he pleased. A member of The exclusive Wicked Earls Club, he enjoyed being with his fellow members just like him, who enjoyed relaxing, playing cards and of course women. Unfortunately, his life was about to change. His father has made arrangements for him to marry Lady Tabitha Riley, daughter or a Duke and Wallflower extraordinaire!!! Determined to convince her their marriage would just not do, Luke goes to meet her and finds a hugh surprise. Tabbie is not the plain, nondescript miss he remembered, but a spitfire who is determined not to marry a rake. Sparks fly and you know what that means!! In the usual Tammy Andresen fashion, I absolutely loved this story and she makes the characters come alive so you fall in love with them yourself!! A Must Read is you like historical romance!!!
My Duke’s Seduction
This story was entertaining from beginning to end, but what else would you expect from a Tammy Andresen book? What was great is that it is story that contains a character from the The Earl of Sussex in the popular Wicked Earls series. Our heroine, Lady Trisha Riley’s life had seemed somewhat ideal until her cousin went missing. Setting out on her own, she ends up in a very dangerous side of town at the docks. Of course that is no place for a lady and trouble soon confronts her but she is lucky to be rescued by none other than Ryker, Duke of Pembroke. Of course he was disguised as a commoner due to trying to find someone and comes upon Trisha. From here on out after their initial meeting, Ryker could not get his thoughts off her and what follows is a story with touches of intrigue, a little danger and of course romance. Even though a shorter story it is an enjoyable read that you will be glad you picked up.
My Duke’s Deception
Tammy Andresen’s well drawn characters easily come to life in this next installment of the Wicked Lords of London Series. Not given love by his father and left by the woman he did love, Matthew, the Duke of Pennington holds tightly to his emotions. His main desire is to find his sister who had been missing for two years. Lady Eleanor McIntyre was a kindred soul, having been left destitute by her unloving father and was trying to earn money working in a tavern. By a touch of fate, Matthew saves her as she is assaulted and carries her home.
So what could possibly happen now? Ella is able to help Matthew in the search for his sister but she does not realize he is a Duke. He agrees to help her find a position once she aids with his search. But as Ella shows her true nature as a kind and gentle lady, his emotions come into play and he struggles to trust her enough to let her into his heart.
Will the two be able to find a happy ending together? Will he find his sister alive and what will happen after that?
A beautifully written emotional story that will pull at the heart and leave you wanting more from this amazing author. If you love historical romance, you will be glad you read this novella and every book that Tammy has written! Cannot wait for the next in the series!!!
THE EARL OF SUSSEX Luke Bentley, the Earl of Sussex’s life as a rake is coming to an abrupt halt as his parents have found a match for him & marriage contracts only need signatures. However; Lady Tabitha, a Duke’s daughter has ideas of how to sabotage this forced marriage. Neither Luke nor Tabbie want to get married & while the two the them scheme to ruin the plans for marriage, the two of them begin seeing one another in a different light. Will they marry & have a HEA? This was a great story with quick wit, fun play, romance & some spice for good measure! I read this as an ARC & have read, reviewed & given my honest opinion. Read this, you won’t be disappointed!
MY DUKE’S SEDUCTION Ryker Pembroke, Duke of Landon,in disguise as a commoner, is hunting for a thief in the docklands (a seedy part of London) that has been stealing from him when he rescues Lady Trisha Riley from a group of drunks & from social ruin being there unchaperoned in the late of night. (Trisha appeared in a previous book, Earl of Sussex, Wicked Earls’ Club Series as the younger sister of Tabbie, who is married to the Lucas, the Earl of Sussex.) This book was a short & quick read but still long enough to get to know the characters & enjoy Trisha & Ryker’s interactions with drama, suspense, humor, family love & a HEA!
MY DUKE’S DECEPTION I really loved this story of two people wounded deeply from betrayal, lack of love & nurturing & how they grew to have faith in themselves & trust in one another. Lady Eleanor McIntyre was kept in the country her whole life while her father gambled away everything & then he died & leaving Ella penniless to make her way on the streets. Lord Matthew Evans, Duke of Pennington finds Ella working in a horrible bar as a serving girl. She is being accosted by a table of men & Matthew saves her from them but she also loses her job. He takes her home & finds she has skills to help him find his sister – she will help him & he will find her a respectable job. Matthew does not tell Ella he is a Duke as the love that had betrayed him only wanted a title & money & he did not trust Ella. But as Ella’s kindness, innocence & beauty become more known to him; he is sorry he didn’t tell her the truth from the beginning. Will the lies & mistrust be forgiven – will he find his sister alive – will Ella & Matthew get their HEA? Tammy Andresen has such a wonderful way of writing that makes you fall in love with the characters in her books & also feel their pain & happiness. I highly recommend this book to all historical romance readers!
Charming! My Duke’s Seduction by Tammy Andresen is book 1 in the Wicked Lords Of Love series and what a way to begin a series! I loved this story and Tammy has such a wonderful way of bringing her characters to life plus so visual. This is an easy to read story and I read it in one sitting. The story has theft, kidnapping, fights, bravery, kindness, caring, sharp tongues, love of family, stealing, protectiveness, an auction, greed, scandal and of course love. I highly recommend this book and any of Tammy Andresen’s books, they are truly wonderful! Travel back to 1816 London, England with Lady Tricia Riley and Ryker The Duke of Landon.
Tammy Andersen books always gives me that warm feeling inside and I can’t help but smile when I read one of her books and My Duke’s Deception is another that does the same. This is book 2 in the Wicked Lords of London series and I am holding my breath for book 3 in this series! Tammy’s writing is so amazing and her characters are truly wonderful and so descriptive that the story just comes alive! I love a genre where the hero is kind and generous and helps the helpless and in My Duke’s Deception he does just that. This story has kindness, friendships, understanding, missing person, caring, desperation, being penniless, sympathy, needing work, feeling not worthy, death and love. I loved this story as much as I love all of tammy Andresen stories. This is a must read and I highly recommend it.
Travel back in time to London with Lady Eleanor (Ella) Mcintyre and Lord Matthew Evans, the Duke of Pennington.
***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Earl of Sussex 5 Stars
Wickedly sinful Luke Bentley the Earl of Sussex, is an unrepentant rake. The Wicked Earls’ Club is the perfect place for a man of his station to indulge. That is until his parents force a match that threatens to rob him of his freedom. Unwilling to be tamed, he travels to meet his bride and demand she put a stop to this farce. Lady Tabitha, daughter of the Duke of Waverly, will not be betrothed to a rake no matter what her father thinks of his social connections. Tabbie is a wallflower more out of choice but is hurt that she’s been introduced to Luke twice but each time his roving eye was elsewhere.
The pair agree that they need a plan to end the engagement but even as they form the plan they both are having second thoughts. Luke & Tabbie are delightful their characters are very well developed for a novella, there are trust issues that Tabbie needs to resolve, the pace is very good & I read it in one sitting. The Earl of Coventry is quite the matchmaker & I’m sure more about him will be revealed. My only quibble was that Luke as the heir to the Marquisette would not have had a seat in Parliament unless he was a elected MP. I thoroughly enjoyed the book
My Duke’s Seduction 5 Stars
Lady Tricia Riley is the sweet daughter of a duke until her family’s ailments force her to breech societies’ dictates and go where no lady should. When a tall, strong and handsome stranger helps to keep her safe, she agrees to keep their meeting, secret. She’s no interest in marrying a tall and darkly handsome stranger. Actually, she has no intention of marrying at all. Instead, she plans to dedicate herself to charitable pursuits. Ryker Pembroke, Duke of Landon, will marry eventually, as duty requires him to do. That is, until an auburn haired minx bursts into his life. This was a lovely read, which I read in a sitting. The plot is very well paced & kept me turning the pages. The characters are very well fleshed for a novella I liked both Ryker & Tricia their attraction was immediate, with Tricia wrapping Ryker round her finger from the start & he loved it. I was looking forward to Tricia’s story after reading Tabbie’s story, which I’d recommend. I look forward to more in the series
My Duke’s Deception 5 Stars
Lady Eleanor McIntyre has been forgotten by society, unloved and left to ruin by her father. She’s no home & has resorted to working in a dockland pub, The Kicking Horse where she crosses paths with a mysterious man who saves her life. It is like a miracle but even more shocking is that he needs her help to find his lost sister Camille. Matthew, the Duke of Pembroke, has an excellent reason for hiding his title from the lovely Ella. The only woman he had ever loved Sarah, cared far more about his position than she ever did the man. Ella is too beautiful to be trusted with the knowledge he is a duke. Matthew introduces himself as Matthew Rangley.
A lovely short story, the author is so very good at giving the characters of a novella depth of character. The story is very well paced. I liked the attraction between Matthew & Ella which each of them fought, he as he didn’t trust women & she because she thought she was unlovable.
Three lovely stories which I first read individually & so pleased they are released in a boxset
Earl Of Sussex by Tammy Andresen is a phenomenal read. This is a fairly short read, perfect for fans of historical romance with limited reading time. Ms. Andresen has given us a well-written book loaded with amazing, lovable characters. Luke is a member of the Wicked Earls’ Club and has no plans to get married. Tabitha has been ignored by Luke the two times she’s been introduced and is determined to avoid marrying him. Their story is packed with drama, humor and sizzle. I loved every page of this book and look forward to my next book by Tammy Andresen. This is my new favorite Tammy Andresen Book.
My Duke’s Seduction by Tammy Andresen is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Andresen has once again delivered a well-written historical romance and loaded it with amazing, lovable characters. Tricia is found by Ryker in a seedy part of London and rescues her from a bit of trouble she’s landed in. Their story is action-packed and full of drama, humor and sexy bits. Once again Ms. Andresen has hooked me at page one and kept me glued to my kindle until the end. I loved reading My Duke’s Seduction.
My Duke’s Deception is another fabulous historical romance by Tammy Andresen. Ms. Andresen has again delivered an entertaining read. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited time for reading. I love the characters in this story. Matthew finds Ella while searching for information about his sister. Their story is loaded with drama, humor and sexy bits. I enjoyed reading My Duke’s Deception and look forward to my next book by the talented Tammy Andresen. My Duke’s Deception is book 2 of the Wicked Lords of London Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I previously read these books individually.
