“The romance is sweet and addictive in this book”
~ Under the Covers
We are back with the Carlisle siblings and this time is Quinton’s turn to find love. When I read the first book in this series (and my first by this author) I was really surprised about how much I liked it and I couldn’t wait to see how this one would compare. This was a great follow up and one I enjoyed immensely.
WHEN THE SCOUNDREL SINS has all the endearing qualities of a best friends to lovers story. Annabelle Green has known Quinton for many years, he was even her first kiss. But they’ve also had a relationship where they were more like bickering siblings than love interest. That ease they have around each other, to tease each other, was a fun dynamic to see in this book and it made this such a breeze to read. They have great chemistry and balance together!
Annabelle is set to inherit the home she’s always known as hers, but for that she must marry before her twenty-fifth birthday. Quinton is there to vet possible suitors before departing for a life he’s decided for himself in America. He has his own self doubts about his future and his worth to deal with and I think that rounded out his character rather well. There’s more to him than being a womanizer and a troublemaker.
The romance is sweet and addictive in this book. I just couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait for what Ms. Harrington will have in store for us next. If you like your historical romance on the light, fluffy and fun side but with well crafted stories and characters then give this series a try.

About Anna Harrington
I fell in love with historical romances and all things Regency—and especially all those dashing Regency heroes—while living in England, where I spent most of my time studying the Romantic poets, reading Jane Austen, and getting lost all over the English countryside.
When I read my first Regency romance in 2012, I was hooked and longed to create my own independent and spirited heroines and dashing heroes. The best part of writing historical romances is falling into history—to live in the world of Regency England through my characters, with dazzling balls, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous houses that I would otherwise never be able to experience. I love the period’s rich history and find that all those rules of etiquette and propriety can be worked to the heroine’s advantage…if she’s daring enough to seize her dreams.
In addition to earning my degrees in the U.S., I have studied theatre in London, Mexican history in Guadalajara, and Spanish in Ecuador. I am an avid traveler and have enjoyed visiting schools and volunteering with children's organizations in Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and Mexico, and I have amassed thousands of photos I unleash on unsuspecting friends who dare to ask about my travels.
I love to be outdoors! I've been hiking in Alaska, the Andes, and the Alps, including one week spent dangling off the via ferrata in the Italian Dolomites, and I love whitewater rafting (when I don't fall in!). I earned my pilot’s license at Chicago Midway (To all the controllers in Chicago Center—I greatly apologize for every problem I caused for you and Southwest Airlines), and it is my dream to one-day fly in a hot-air balloon over Africa.
I adore all things chocolate, shamelessly dive into ice cream of any flavor, and guzzle Kona coffee by the gallon. A Doctor Who fanatic (everyone says my house is bigger on the inside), I am a terrible cook who hopes to one day use my oven for something other than shoe storage. When I'm not writing, I like to spend my time trying not to kill the innocent rose bushes in my garden.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
