The Great Pick Up Line featuring
Wicked Designs by Lauren Smith
(discussion between Emily Parr the heroine and Godric, the Duke of Essex, the hero) Godric’s quip at the end is the pick up line.
“Miss Parr, I’m not sure if you know exactly who I am.”
Godric saw a flash of pain in her eyes. “I know who you are. The Duke of Essex. A veritable devil, or so the ladies say. You bring ruination upon a woman with one look.”
“Just a look? I thought I had to at least say a lady’s name…” he chuckled, but she did not laugh.
Wicked Designs by Lauren Smith
The League of Rogues takes what they want—but have they taken on too much?
For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple—find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books.
It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes.
Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends, and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with. He has no plans to marry anytime soon—if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler’s niece, the difficult debutante’s blend of sweetness and sharp tongue make him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love.
Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric’s shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard—and rob him of the woman he can’t live without.
Warning: This novel includes a lady who refuses to stay kidnapped, a devilish duke with a dark past, and an assortment of charming rogues who have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into.
Get it now!

Another fun pickup line! I was planning to read more historical romances this year, but so far only managed to read one.
Oh, there’s still plenty of time, Lola. I’ve got a few on my list to read too. I’m actually reading the sequel to this one right now. I’ll have to go back and read this one.
I do like a good romantic kidnap story.
It does make for an interesting start to their romance. 😉
Oh this looks so good. I do love those kidnapping romances. oh that pick up line is just awesome…have to read this author and NOW. Shame on you for tempting my wallet.
Haha! I just finished book two for review. I think I might be tempting you even further. I’m so evil.

If a man can ruin you with just one look then there must be something special about him. but I agree with Felicia. No man should have that power.
Oh trust me, Brittany! His lovely lady has her own mad skills to deal with him.
No, I don’t think so.
