I ended up DNFing this book as it was just very hard for me to get into the story. The characters were not ones that I felt I could connect to and want to learn more from. The chapters were very long too so I didn’t feel like I was making progress while reading the book.

This is the first book from Megan Frampton, and it did not disappoint! I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future. The protagonists were a breath of fresh air. There were no misunderstandings or secrets between the two and their honesty with one another was so nice to see in a romance.

There were so many hilarious and intriguing moments I had to highlight, and the addition of the hero's book club with his friends was such a nice touch. My only issue was the ending felt a little rushed, and the fact that the main characters were keeping the truth from one another was frustrating.

All in all it was wonderfully written with witty banter, wonderful storytelling, and so much chemistry between the hero and heroine. I will definitely add Frampton to my TBR list!

I am loving this series by Frampton! This one follows Simeon and brilliant, blatantly truthful Myrtle. Huge focus on Myrtle's mathematical skills and her hopes and dreams for the rest of her life. I loved how we got to learn so much more about Simeon and how he chose to live and how he grew up with his adopted mother. Can't wait for Benedict and Fenton's books!

Her Adventures in Temptation, book 3 of the School for Scoundrels series by Megan Frampton was a delight to read on a rainy weekend. In this third installment we find our heroine Lady Myrtle Allen who due to her intelligence and zeal simply cannot accept any of the suitors put forth before her. Then enters Simeon Jones a painter who I’d say is down on his luck but not lacking in talent. Together these two embark on an adventure where they end up finding themselves and each other. Megan does this with witty banter, copious amounts of humor and such heart wrenching cuteness that when the heated moments are occurring between the characters the reader actually sighs. I cannot wait for the next possible installment to this series! I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley and provided my honest review, happy reading.

This was a great romance and great lead characters who you root for even when the miscommunication is annoying!

I’ve been waiting for Simeon’s and Myrtle’s story and it did not disappoint. Full of adventure, romance and a few mysteries. Would recommend reading this book!

Unfortunately this one was just not for me! It started so strong and I read 30% in one sitting and then it just started dragging and it took me another week and a half to muster up a will to read the next 20% before ultimately deciding to DNF it.

My main issue was the longgg chapters. I was invested in the plot, but each chapter felt like a mammoth effort to get through.

I did like Myrtle, but Simeon did not stand out to me as a character.

Overall this book was just not for me and I'm starting to think that Megan Frampton is not for me which is a bummer.

Meghan Frampton is a well versed historical romance author and one who you can depend on to create a super enjoyable and fun read. Her Adventures in Temptation is the third installment in her School for Scoundrel series and it is a lovely addition. Frampton’s writing is easily accessible, her characters are charming and the world she creates is easy and clear to escape into. This novel and series is a refreshing use of well loved tropes with a lower more middle class hero and heroine. I adore a road trip and fake relationship and this novel does a fun job exploring this between two character who appear to be polar opposites but are maybe much more alike when it comes to morals and values. If you want a light and fun escape with well written and developed sensuality then Meghan Frampton is worth a read!

Thank you to Avon Books and NetGalley for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I recieved a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have been a book slump for a while and though this was the greatest book it was one I did finish.
Simeon is an artist and a bastard. Myrtle is determined to remain unwed and make her own way using her brain and math skills once Simeon helps her get to London.
One fake engagement later,,,
I liked Simeon and Myrtle as characters and as a couple but the plot was weak including the reason for the fake engagement. Why they couldn't be together was even weaker.
3 stars nice easy uncomplicated read.

4 1/2*STARS*
Myrtle Allen, a viscount's daughter, spends her days thinking of mathematics and living her own life. Simeon Jones is an artist. After an embarrassing episode, he is returning to London with an unexpected passenger, Myrtle. Impatient to wait any longer to start a new life in London, she persuade and pays Simeon for a ride. The two least likely people agree to have a fake engagement, but what happens when what you thought you wanted isn't what you want at all? Less about art and more about their funny passionate relationship that started with a kiss. DESCRIPTIVE SEX.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

Her Adventures in Temptation is the third book in the School for Scoundrels series by Megan Frampton. I have read the entire series and feel like it reads better having read through the books in order. Simeon was a sweet hero and a good compliment to Myrtle's quirky awkwardness. This book was good but not as entertaining as the previous books in the series. I feel like the chemistry was missing a little bit. The plot kinda dragged on towards the end.

Tropes included: road trip, fake engagement, bluestocking heroine, artist hero, intimacy experiment, orphan hero

Thank you to Megan Frampton, NetGalley, and Avon Harper Voyager for this eARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really struggled with this book and ended up DNFing it at 10%.

I was obsessed with the cover and love the whole color theme for this series, but this was my second attempt at reading a Frampton novel and frankly I was just bored. I picked this book up multiple times to try and get through the beginning, and see if I would like the rest, but when I realized that I was just dreading reading this when I have other ARCs that I would prefer to spend my time on, I realized that it was time to call it quits.

I think that I also don't like Myrtle's characterization, as she is made out to be an elitists who is good at math, but to an extreme level that anyone who isn't is an idiot. As she says, "And all of the gentlemen, and most of the ladies, Myrtle knew were idiots." (3%). That definitely started me off in a rough place with this book. I get that the bar is low, but this is just a weak character trait, that everyone is too stupid for her. And then on top of this, she threatens Simeon into doing her bidding by holding money over his head. This is not a simple work a job for money situation. This is one with a power dynamic where Simeon's livelihood and his ward's are threatened by this woman who wants to go to London for a little adventure because her life is so hard as a wealthy aristocrat who is so smart and good at math, and doesn't like any of her marriage prospects.

I just could not get behind these characters or this conflict.

I’m a big fan of Megan Frampton books. I read the first book in this series, somehow missed the second one and jumped right into the third. I love this series as the main female characters are super smart in nontraditional subjects. In this story, Myrtle is a brilliant mathematician who wants to start her own business helping other women invest and manage finances. Myrtle herself was very wealthy, but her brother managed her money. As the story started, Myrtle had been proposed to 32 times and rejected them all. Her brother, Viscount Leybourne was very aggravated by her actions and just did not understand her perspective. Simeon Jones is an artist with the reputation of a rake. In reality Simeon had a soft heart and tried to help when he could. Unfortunately, he was poor enough that he kept it a secret from his closest friends. In the opening scenes, he took a commission to paint someone and through various twists and turns, turned into complete mayhem. Myrtle talks Simeon into a business proposition which includes paying him to get her to London as fast as possible. To make this happen, they have to fake a marriage so they can travel together. Their banter throughout these negotiations is smart and funny. This is a bit of a slow burn romance, but super sexy and I found myself rooting for them the whole time. I thought that with their different interests they would not have much in common, but opposites definitely do attract in this story. Simeon took a risk by traveling with a lady and she took a risk by being with an illegitimate artist. Myrtle is a bit awkward in society and Simeon is as smooth as they come. This story is sexy, witty, fun, intelligent and an overall great read. It’s hard to put down once you start reading. It’s also hard not to get sucked in by the gorgeous violet themed cover. *fans self*

Lots of tropes and plot lines going on in this book. A fine story, fairly interesting characters, although largely forgettable.

I liked Simeon as a character, he was this friendly, sincere, genuine artist type that I found really endearing. I loved how he interacted with Myrtle and how he really accepted and embraced her quirks.

Well, this was a delightful bit of fluff.

I loved Myrtle and Simeon. They're both a little odd, a lot in their own head, and loyal. Together they have fun, light banter, and sweet simmer of chemistry. It felt like there were a lot of characters here, but it might have just been the settings.

Plot wise, it's a slow meandering towards barely a conflict and I was here for it. Of course I wanted these idiots to open their mouths for talking about feelings, but the final scenes were fantastic.

Overall, it's this friend group that's really doing it for me and I can't wait to see what's up with Fenton. (And Fenton better be next.)

Another wow of an adventure from Megan Frampton. Simeon Jones isn’t part of the upper class and he works as a painter. Lady Myrtle Allen is a brilliant mathematician who doesn’t want to marry and lose her freedom. Her brother insists, so what else can she do? Run. As someone with plenty of money she decides to pay the painter to get her to London, and fast. When traveling together they are seen alone and decide to pretend to be married till the end of the season. Simeon, who is from a not so great background, doesn’t seem like a match for a Lady of the ton. Being close they can’t help but become attracted to each other. Well you know this adventure is going to be fun and full of the perfect spice. Frampton always has dynamic characters that are full of personality and life. Her attention to detail is what makes her writing so amazing. I loved this story from the very beginning all the way to the last page and I didn’t want to put it down. You are going to love the chemistry between Simeon and Myrtle. Enjoy this fun adventure.

Simeon Jones is an artist with a bit of a reputation. When he's booted from a job, Lady Myrtle Allen tags along, insistent on wanting to start her own business. She never plans to marry, but her brother who controls her money keeps pushing her to find a husband. Thirty-two proposals have been turned down. Myrtle's mathematical brain demands someone of equal intelligence. Simeon is the first person who seems to be able to keep up with her, even if he is more inclined to keep busy with his paintings than want to court a lady. The pair seems like opposites, but the more time they spend together, the more they seem to suit. Masquerading as a betrothed couple leads to more entanglement. Independent women who desire to control their own destinies will enjoy this tale and find Myrtle a woman to relate to. Simeon will make you swoon. This steamy tale will make you want to read more of the series.

The premise of this book sounded so interesting, but unfortunately this one did not stick the landing.

Myrtle and Simeon meet unexpectedly when he’s caught with Myrtle’s sister-in-law at a house party. Simeon reluctantly agrees to escort Myrtle to London because he’ desperately needs some money. They fake a relationship and end up falling in love for real.

While I loved some of the humor that Frampton injected into their conversations, on the whole I didn’t feel any real connection between the main characters. Their banter while sometimes funny often came off as stilted to me. I was never fully able to engage in their love story because of this. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me.

I adored Myrtle and Simeon's story! I just loved that he was willing to help her achieve her dream and in the process they fell in love.

rating: 3.5/5 (rounded to 4)

I had a bit of a hard time getting through this book while being busy with school. While I loved the plot and found the characters endearing, it just never got me *obsessed*.

The romance in this book wasn't anything drastically new, and it wasn't as spicy as some might wish, but I did enjoy the story for what it was. It's simple, and that's what made it enjoyable despite my delayed reading time. Simeon was a sweetheart, Myrtle was so relatable! There was times where I did feel immersed in their emotions, irritated by their actions (in a good way!), and rooting for them.

Ultimately, this is an easy read if you're not a busy student like me. This was my first time reading Megan Frampton, but I would read more of her books!

Happy reading everyone!!
