Intentions of the Earl (Scandalous Sisters, book 1)
Will he secure his future by ruining hers, or will she ruin his plans by securing him? A new twist on the old fortune hunter plot puts an impoverished earl in a position to gain his fortune only by ruining an innocent’s reputation without offering marriage. The innocent he’s selected, however, has no plans to settle for anything less than marriage and will go to almost any length to secure him.
When the impoverished Andrew Black, Earl of Townson, hits rock bottom, he makes an agreement that will end his eight year poverty streak once and for all. In order to gain his fortune he must do but one simple thing: ruin an innocent girl’s reputation enough to make her flee to America.
Brooke Banks isn’t interested in marriage, or so she thinks. She came to London to have a good time, and that’s exactly what she’s doing. Widely known for her tendency to flout the rules, she suspects nothing when a handsome stranger appears on her doorstep.
Thirteen days, a handful of kisses and one scandalous situation later, Andrew and Brooke will have to choose to stick to their original plans, or decide if a life together is worth the risk.
***This is a full-length novel, apprx. 100,000 words.

review by Ruth Ann Nordin “Historical Romance Author” for Intentions of the Earl (Scandalous Sisters, book 1)
A Hero One Can Love,
I read the second book, Liberty for Paul, first, and it was hard to decide which book I enjoyed more. I finally decided this one is my favorite, so far, in the books Rose Gordon has written. I have yet to read book 3, so we’ll see if my opinion changes.
Anyway, this was a fun read. Andrew Black is not one of those rakes I often read about in regency romances, and that was a huge selling point for me. Instead, Andrew is coerced into agreeing to ruin the reputation of one of the daughters in the Banks family to get them to run back to America. What endeared me to Andrew right away was his reluctance to do it. This is a hero with a conscience who feels torn between doing what is right and doing what he knows is wrong. I really liked this hero. Rose Gordon’s heroes are men I’d fall in love with in real life, so it’s no wonder Brooke Banks fell in love with Andrew.
He shows up at the residence where Brooke and her family are staying, and when the two first meet, the chemistry is immediate. She fools him into believing she decorated a gaudy room, which was hilarious. From there, the two get to know each other, and they share a few kisses. I will say the kisses are some of the best scenes I’ve read. Rose Gordon has a way of making the chemistry between these two jump off the page.
Andrew does succeed in ruining Brooke’s reputation (and if anyone wonders, they didn’t go all the way but the scene was pretty hot), and yes, they were discovered. I won’t spoil the rest of the book except to say the end of this book had the most romantic ending I’ve ever read. All I can say is any woman would be thrilled to be married to a man like Andrew!
So if you like to laugh, love tender and sensual scenes, and want to read about heroes who are sweethearts, this book will fit perfectly.

New twist for a classic love story,
This book was witty and refreshing. I would recommend it to any who loves a good story. Agreeing on terms to ruin a young lady, the earl never imagined that he would develop feelings for the chit. When everything starts to unravel he has to make a decision and she has to over come her stubbornness. The characters are well written, the story is cleanly written and very enjoyable.

Entertaining!!!,
This book was completely entertaining!! I loved the story and the Characterization is top notch. Gordon places the reader directly in the mind and hearts of the characters. This is a great first novel, and shows much potential for the coming books in this series.
