About this ebook

As the captivating Hunt Club series from RITA award finalist Pamela Labud continues, a notorious earl and a brokenhearted young lady are running from love . . . until their foolproof scheme backfires in the most decadent way.
 
Though he’s fiercely loyal to his friends, Michael Carver has managed to avoid romantic entanglements by cultivating a reputation as a rake and a gambler. Believing himself incapable of intimacy, the Earl of Blandon avoids anything more than lighthearted flirtations or trysts with married women—which leaves more than enough time to slip out into the wilderness for a little fishing. All is well until Michael agrees, as a favor, to keep his best friend’s stubborn yet alluring sister-in-law company.
 
After one failed engagement, Beatrice Hawkins would rather become a spinster than risk her heart again. Her family, however, is relentless when it comes to finding her a suitable match. So when the roguish earl suggests they join forces to feign courtship and throw everyone off their scent, Beatrice only hopes the ton will take the bait. But at the hunting lodge where Michael takes her to escape prying eyes, Beatrice finds herself lured in by the unexpected charms of a man who has so much love to give—even if he doesn’t know it yet.

Ratings and reviews

In every life there are moments that are hard to forget. The one that stands out most is finding that special someone. Ms. Labud took that joy and happiness and set a seldom explored course. A Most Delicate Pursuit explores the lengths two people are willing to go in order not to fall in love. Beatrice is running from heartbreak and Michael is closed off to love. A foolproof plan, a fake romance and everything will be fine. Faking a romance seems the perfect plan until the masquerade becomes all too real. Having read a great deal of books and experienced a lot of emotions, it is hard to gauge how a person reacts to a particular character. A Most Delicate Pursuit is not a perfect read but I found it to be a story that was perfect for me.

Lady Beatrice wishes to remain independent; though she would consider a marriage for love. Lord Michael has been married, with dire results. He'll have to marry to produce an heir; he'll find some malleable chit, but not now. An outside influence, Sir Alfred Danbury, has joined in this matchmaking in an underhanded and vile fashion... Thrilling historical romance! Exciting suspense and heated moments. Book free thruu Netgalley and Loveswept for honest review.
