Today I am going to talk about meddling mothers and their sons. Everyone thinks of the mothers of the Ton as only working the room to get their daughters connected to a titled gentleman. Well in this book you have one sassy mother who wants more grandchildren and her son to shape up and get married. She is as sneaky and controlling as expected but her plans to whip her son into shape really are fun to watch.

REVIEW FROM "THE READING REVIEWER"
SUNRISE WITH A NOTORIOUS LORD BY ALEXANDRA HAWKINSLords of Vice Series #401/12 - St. Martin's Press - Mass Market Paperback - 287 pages
Is it possible you were created just to bedevil and bewitch me?
Christopher Avery Courtland, Earl of Vanewright is determined not to get married. He is been sticking with this theory while at the same time attempting to stop his mother from trying to make that happen. When you have one of the most conniving of woman as your mother you have to out fox her but this time he may have been caught in a trap of his own making. The problem is not the woman his mother is pushing on him but her sister giving him a reason to blush, the radiant Isabel Thorne.
Isabel has always been as much a parent as a sister to Delia so trying to get her married off to a titled gentleman is the perfect set up. With an introduction into London society promised, Isabel takes Vane's mother up on her offer to get Vane interested in Delia regardless of the consequences. Problem is with great plans and organized thinking is that when the heart takes over all rules and clear thought fly out the window. Isabel is trying to stop this over whelming desire to rush into Vane's arms and feel his lips brush hers. This trip has been nothing but trouble, confusion, and terrible decisions that keep leading Isabel back to Vane.
Vane has led the most spirited life imaginable with his friends and never thought he was ever going to marry. Nevertheless, there stands Isabel with her innocence and striking beauty flowing around her like roses falling from the vine. Vane knows that Isabel cannot be his but has that stopped him before, no and as tempting as Isabel is in the simplest of frocks he cannot stop imaging the magnificence of seeing just her bare shoulder.
This book starts on a fast pace and never slows down. The action between the characters is riveting and when one pushes, another one shoves all to achieve their individual goals. One man has no way of defending himself when all these women have a plan written in such a lovely fashion by Ms. Hawkins.
