Lady No Says Yes

Stunning heiress Sophie is known in Society as Lady No because she's spent the past few years refusing the advances of every suitor, no dancing, no rides in the park & definitely no to marriage proposals. However when her beloved aunt Louisa challenges her to say yes for just one Season, she can't refuse. Rowan Sinclair is still grieving for his father who died six months ago, now his despicable elder brother has stopped his allowance & so is in dire straights. Rowan has always been attracted to Sophie & when he discovers Sophie's secret reason for suddenly saying yes, he knows he can use it to his advantage. A well written engrossing novella that I read in a sitting. I loved both Sophie & Rowan, they both had their insecurities & whilst their attraction sizzled, they both needed to learn to trust. They were both strong characters & I loved the way Sophie tore a strip of Rowan’s brothers. A lovely addition to the series & it can easily be read on its own. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Lady No Says Yes by Jess Michaels The Scandal Sheet #3 Lady Sophie has been saying NO to dances, walks in the park and just about anything a young man might ask her to do since her coming out nearly four years ago. She has reasons to do so that eventually come out later in the novella but when challenged to start saying YES she surprises herself by hoping she might find the right man to marry – a man who will let her retain her independence and quirks and actually love her. Honorable Rowan Sinclair, third son of the Earl of Terrington suddenly finds himself in need of money and having eyed Lady Sophie over the years contemplates wooing her. At first he might believe it is just for the money she will provide but later...perhaps the money is less important. This book has loving and despicable relatives, balls, wonderful outfits, some steamy moments and eventually...a HEA. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Did I feel the main lead characters were suited to one another? Yes Would I like to read more in the series? Definitely Thank you to NetGalley and The Passionate Pen for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars

The Scandal Sheet "All in Society are well aware of the famous-or is it infamous?-Lady No. The lady seems determined to enter into spinsterhood." Her aunt Louisa read out loud and Lady Sophie could not help but laugh. But her aunt told her it was about her! So that was her moniker but she could just not say yes to getting hurt and being married only for her money. Not as she had seen her parents life. Then her aunt asked her for this, her fourth season to say yes. Yes to dancing, walking with a gentleman and trying to enjoy herself! Rowan Sinclair had just been cut off his meager inheritance by his older stepbrother. He needed those funds to help support his art. So now he needed to look for a rich wife. But as he finds out about Sophie and that she might say yes to a suitor, he decides to see what will happen. But who knew he might actually fall in love? What will she think when she finds out that he does need money? Although a novella, Jess Michaels always gets a full story in that I love! These two needed each other, I could only hope they would find their way by the end!! Love this series!!
