A sensible schoolmistress…
Awakened by the notorious rake!
In this The Wild Warriners story, schoolmistress Felicity Blunt feels old beyond her years—and desperately dull. Meeting confirmed rake Jacob Warriner brings her gloriously to life, yet no matter his allure, she must remain immune to his obvious charms and unashamed flirtation. But is Jacob merely a mischievous scoundrel, or is there much more to this Warriner than meets the eye?

A Warriner to Seduce Her is a historical suspense written by Virginia Health, an author which I have read in the past, and really enjoyed her books, as her writing style and plots have never failed to pull me into the book. But I struggled a little with this book, and I think the reason is that I had read none of the other books in the series, which was a major mistake on my part.
Even though I struggled with the characters, I did really enjoy the verbal sparring between Jake and Fliss. But I found the book to be a little jumpy in parts; I really struggled with a scene where Jake is pouring his heart out to Fliss, and the next thing, they are heading to bed together, with the bare minimum of consoling, and that was just one part I struggled with. I think if I had read the series from the beginning, it would have been more familiar to me, and even though it's a good book, it doesn't inspire me to read the series now.
I give A Warriner to Seduce Her 3 stars
When Virginia Heath was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Fortunately, the lovely people at Harlequin Mills & Boon took pity on her and decided to publish her romances, but it still takes her forever to fall asleep.
