I enjoyed this. I loved the beginning when she sees through his crap. There’s nothing better than a competent heroine!

Loved: Jake and Fliss as individuals and their dynamic together, and that this book had the most fun and the least trauma of the series.
Did not love: the massive emphasis on aching wombs and all of the wives ending up with so many children each, like I know this is historical but jfc. Also royal ass kissing like…I think Jake working for the Crown was supposed to immediately make his actions more justifiable but like, he was working on smuggling stuff. That’s not something that feels like a huge moral justification.

[I received an eCopy, ARC, from the author in exchange for an honest review.]
This was the forth and last book in Virginia Heath's The Wild Warriners Series and I'm so sad (and happy about the ending) that it's over. This book is about the younger Warriner brother Jacob 'Jake' Warriner and... My goodness! I don't know which brother I love more now.
Jake Warriner has a secret, one that I won’t reveal, so if you want to know, just read the book. Anyway, he was set to take a leave from work to be with his family, but for reasons that you will find out if you read the story, he must stay and seduce Felicity ‘Fliss’ Blunt, a school mistress and a very blunt and honest person.
I knew Jake was going to be an interesting character to read about. Although I was incredibly curious about Jamie, I knew that Jake’s story would be one that would make my heartbreak, because not only did I know that he had secrets, I knew there was his childhood that would just touch my heart. And now, with his fame as Jake the Rake… always seducing women… Well, I just know it would be a fun, interesting, with just enough action and mystery to make get me at the edge of my seat, and with romance to warm my heart.
Once Fliss appeared in his life, someone with an unexpected personality, I knew I was right and this would be an amazing book. She doesn’t want to be another of Jake’s conquest’s and she’s quite content in her life and she just wants to settle into her role as schoolmistress and forget London.
But, Jake is a Warriner, and for those that have read this series, we all know that the Warriners can be quite charming, intriguing, loving, caring, handsome, intelligent and stubborn men. So, of course, he just keeps talking to her, flirting and getting to know her.
Although I am very sad to see this series finished, I do believe Virginia Heath finish it in an excellent way. I love how the loose questions were answered and tied up, and it left us with a satisfying end, with all four brothers happy.
Now I just wish I could know more about future generations, because... damn! Who doesn’t love the Warriner family?
So, of course I have to say that I do recommend Virginia's book. She's a great author and I love all the books I read of hers.

A Warriner to Seduce Her
By Virginia Heath
5 stars
Reviewed on behalf of 3 Degrees of Fiction Book Blog
This book had everything that I love in a historical romance story! I loved every second of it. Although this was book 4 in the series it can be read as a standalone which I did however I definitely want to read about the other brothers in the series too! The author wrote a brilliant historical read, the characters were perfect, the setting was great and her descriptive language allowed me to visualise what I was reading.
I loved a good rake in a story and Jacob was one of the best! He was particularly sexy!! I really liked Felicity, she was typical of that era but with something underneath that was dying to come out! Fans of historical romance will not be disappointed with this story – I know I wasn’t and I can’t wait to read more from this author again!

Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me with a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
When I first picked up this novel, I expected a fun, lighthearted Regency romance to devour – and I definitely wasn’t disappointed on that front. But what I actually got was this and so much more, because A Warriner to Seduce Her is definitely a London Season story with a difference.
Take our main protagonist, Jake Warriner. He is a self-proclaimed rake, which is not uncommon in a Regency romance – but what is different is that from the very beginning we are offered an insight into his past, from which we are able to piece together the nature of his character. This makes him so much more than your typical Regency rake, endearing him to me straight away.
Our female protagonist Fliss is also a breath of fresh air. An older and sterner character than your typical debutante, the sharp put-downs she delivers to Jake when they first meet had me snorting out loud with laughter. I really enjoyed reading about a female character with intelligence and strength, rather than one who is meek and submissive.
This story isn’t just about the romance – the plot is set against the backdrop of the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, featuring politically-charged alliances and an element of mystery. I found these aspects just as enjoyable as the romance, the historical context adding depth to the plot.
As someone who enjoys a traditional Regency romance in the vein of Georgette Heyer, at times I found the dialogue too modern and informal – but that’s more a personal preference of mine. This didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the novel, which was a fun, fast-paced read.
