Though she considers herself logical and practical, she yearns for true love and someone who would adore her despite her family’s reputation. As a debutante, she has many hopes for she had always been a romantic at heart. Her family has a less than pleasant reputation which is the reason why she trained herself to be all things proper. Meet Lady Penelope Tidemore: She is the sister of the Earl of Sinclair. This is my first Christi Caldwell book and I can’t say I am disappointed! I also know that I would have gotten to see Ryker through someone else’s perspective in the first book of this series but honestly, I wanted to read this one and so I did.
But then, not reading those did not lessen my enjoyment of this one. I think reading her siblings’ book, especially the Earl's, would have given me more insight about the family.
I would have read those in order to get a better perspective of what Penelope had been like as a child but then again, out of all the Christi Caldwell books I wanted to read, this one seems exactly like something I’d enjoy very much. From what I have gathered, all her siblings each had a scandalous reputation. Penelope seems like the last unmarried daughter, except for her much younger sister, Poppy. I think each Tidemore sibling has their respective books from different series. This one is about Ryker Black and Penelope Tidemore. The Scoundrel’s honor is the second book from Christi Caldwell’s historical romance series, Sinful Brides.
Black is a man vastly different from who Penelope imagined she would one day marry, he is the man who she could love, if only he allowed her to. The notorious scoundrel has no plans in taking a wife, much more a lady wife! But she surprises him at every turn and makes him realize that she is very different from the noble people he had despised all his life. But alas, she was caught in a compromising position with the notorious and newly minted viscount, Ryker Black. She knows that if she wants a chance at a good match, she must be properly behaved and be the picture of a perfect English lady. ” Lady Penelope Tidemore longs for a gentleman who will love her and look past her family’s more than scandalous reputation. “I want to be everything you ever wanted, even though I know I cannot, and so I humbly offer myself. Not because you do not deserve one, for you do, but because I’ll never be a master with words.” A tear slithered down her cheek. “I’m still rot with words, Penelope,” he said harshly.
