This is part one of this review of this book. I do not own this book and I don't think I will be able to obtain a copy of this book. This book was released in Australia and is a combination of the first two Malory Novels. The first one is Love Only Once, number 2 is Tender Rebel. I just finished reading Love Only Once.

Love Only Once is the introduction to the Malory Family. The Malory's consist of mostly men. There was one girl but her and her husband died in a fire. The girl now in the Malory family is the boy's niece Regina. She is the spitting image of her mother and all the men love her dearly and have raised her.

This is not my first Malory book. I read one of these books before so I was not new to the family. I knew the story of how Regina married but it was nice to finally read the book that started the whole series. Love Only Once is the story of Regina Ashton and Nicholas Eden. I laughed, and cried reading this book. Regina is a very spirited woman with a run of being proud in her.

Both Nicholas and Regina learn a lot about themselves in this book. The good and the bad. Now part 2 of this book. The second part of the book is Tender Rebel. I love Johanna Lindsey!! Her books always make me smile, cry, laugh and just really enjoy my time reading. This is book number 2 in the Malory novels and once again Johanna does a great job in making you love the Malory men and hate them at the same time.

This is the story of Anthony Malory and Lady Roslyn Chadwick. Roslyn needs to marry in a rush so that her cousin doesn't marry her and steal the Chadwick fortune. Roslyn does not have Anthony Malory on her list of possible candidates but when he first sees her across the garden at one of the parties he is smitten and decided that she will be his next conquest.

The story is entertaining because Roslyn is Scottish and when her temper is up she breaks into her Scottish Brogue and that turns Anthony Malory on even more. You are once again seeing Regina and Nicholas Eden, James, Jason, Edward, Jeremy Malory and the whole Malory clan.

The Malory brothers are surprised when Anthony Malory decides to ask Roslyn to marry him. Their marriage is one that Roslyn doesn't want because Anthony is a rake and she knows that her heart will only be broken because you can never change a rake. I loved how Roslyn would make rules for their marriage expecting Anthony to be thrilled with them. Such as letting him still have mistresses. ( )
