Lord Rose Reid and the Lost Lady (The Contrary Fairy Tales Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 34 ratings

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR EM TAYLOR brings you the third novel in the lively Contrary Fairy Tales Series.

Lord Jason Rose-Reid should never have questioned why there was a horse out in a blizzard in the middle of Cumbria. If he had not, he would not have rescued Lady Rutherford and her babe from the snow. He also would not now be struggling with a myriad of emotions regarding the not-so-merry widow herself. He would be drinking port and reading Homer like all good rakes should be doing on cold winter evenings. Not running about the country, widow and babe in tow, with a growing desire for the aforementioned widow to boot.

How had it come to this? Fleeing for her life, or rather, the life or her three-month-old son. It seemed that some men would kill a harmless infant to gain money, land and a title. She had fled to Lord Whitsnow's estate, but due to an unfortunate series of events, had ended up in the dower house with both Lord Whitsnow and his friend, Lord Rose-Reid. Two sullen, fractious gentlemen; a crying, fractious baby and a growing realisation that they were her, and her son’s, protectors. Now every time she looked at Lord Rose-Reid he stole her breath. And every so often, she allowed him to steal more than a kiss.

She wanted to get away. Her only problem was how. Was she in more danger staying or going? It was almost as if she was in a bear's den, and he wanted to eat her all up. And the vexing thing was, she was more than willing to be dinner. Now, he said she'd be safer with him in Yorkshire, and after a visit from her pursuers, she may very well be.

Based loosely on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, Lord Rose Reid and the Lost Lady is a bold, erotic Regency tale which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Em was born and brought up in the Central Belt of Scotland and still lives there. She was told as a child she had an overactive imagination--as if that is a bad thing. She's traded her dreams of owning her own island, just like George in the Famous Five to hoping to meet her own Mr Darcy one day. But her imagination remains the same.

    I have loved all three of the books in the Contrary Series. I think they just keep getting better as they go. Em Taylor is a master at weaving together danger, humor, suspense and steam. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. We know and love Sophia from earlier in the series, so it is extra harrowing to find her running for her life and that of her infant in the first couple of chapters. If you ever want to know how a man that knows nothing of babes deals with a smelly and hungry one, you must read! Lord Rose Reid is a true hero, not only rescuing our Sophia and her baby from the snow, but caring for them and offering protection as well. I especially love the return of a couple of much loved characters from the series. I truly can not wait for the next!

    This was a very enjoyable read. There were a few editing errors, but not enough to take away from the story.

    Having read all the books in the series so far I have to say that this one is fast becoming my favourite. Jason and Sophia are attracted to one another but given the circumstances in which they met they are both dealing with it in different ways. This book is full of lust, love and some hairy moments for our couple. Thoroughly enjoyable addition to The Contrary Fairy Tales Series.

    Having read Lady Harriet and the Saint Nicholas day wager I was looking forward to this Em Taylor book. Unfortunately it's more sex then story. ON almost every page there is a talk about Lord Rose Reid' s cockstand. In almost every chapter they speculate that her old husband was probably gay. Most of the book was them talking about sex. Having sex . Or planning sex. Orally. Manually or upside down and backwards.

    The story part is our heroine running for her life with her child to escape the crazy relative that wants to kill her baby because he's next in line to inherit. Good idea. Dismal execution. The villain is an inept cartoon character . The heroine has a brother that would have helped her. She has plenty of money. But does she hire guards or lawyers ? No instead she' winds up running around the country in the middle of winter with the baby strapped to her back. Then the hero finds her after she falls off the horse and after that it's pretty much all about sex, sex, sex. That is until the last few pages then back to the baby killing then it's mercifully over.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A steamy read and a baby to boot !
    Reviewed in India on November 24, 2021
    Lady Rutherford has to save her baby from a dastardly man and she is saved by Lord Rose- Reid who is attracted to Sophia.

    Sophia and Jason fight their attraction but come to realise that its the real thing.

    Sophia is an innocent in the ways of the marriage bed and Jason finds that very appealing and frustrating in turns.

    A decent plot and a few kidnappers thrown, this read is ideal for a quick steamy read.

    Steam Level : many open oral sex and lovemaking scenes

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of the series so far!!! Loved it!!

    I loved this book, the third in The Contrary Fairytales. I couldn't put this book down, the series just keeps getting better and better! I think this has to be my favourite so far. Jason discovers Sophia and her young son freezing in the snow after she flees from her home in fear of their lives. He becomes their protector, but they soon realise they are attracted to each other.

    This book has everything I've come to love about this series - romance, lust and plenty of twists and turns. Bring on book 4!!!

    This was a really good read. It has twists and turns as the couple battle various dangers so you want to turn the page. The characters seem real, they could easily jump off the page and wander in. Loved it. One of my favourites of these Fairy Tales

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2018
    This was a brilliant read. I loved the characters and how the story developed, I felt like I could see them falling in love. I don't want to give spoilers. Its very good, Lord Rose Reid is a gentleman. The author has clearly done great research into this period too.
