From New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries
comes the fourth book in her dazzling and sensual School
for Heiresses series -- the story of a charmingly handsome rake who challenges
everything a young teacher thinks she
knows about passion and desire.
"Don't let yourself be fooled, Madeline:
once a rake, always a rake."
-- Mrs. Charlotte Harris, headmistress
When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father's reputation. Instead, she's in danger of ruining her own. The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide "rake lessons" to Mrs. Harris's pupils so they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled -- until she's swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake -- even one who's trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting....

From Booklist
After her father’s career as a physician is destroyed, Madeline Prescott takes a position teaching math and science at Mrs. Harris’ School for Young Ladies. Madeline’s small salary is some help, but what she really needs is a way to contact noted chemist Sir Humphrey Davy, whose pioneering work with nitrous oxide might help restore her father’s reputation. When Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, turns up at the academy seeking a favor, Madeline sees the solution to her problem. In exchange for overseeing Anthony’s “rakehell lessons” at the academy, Madeline coerces him into taking her to a nitrous-oxide party. Madeline is convinced that working with Anthony will simply be a matter of science until she discovers there is nothing scientific about desire. Sizzling sexual chemistry and an intriguing, science-tinged plot make Jeffries’ latest School for Heiresses title especially intriguing. --John Charles
Review
"This fast-paced, sexy romp bubbles over with Jeffries's trademark humor and spirit." -- "Library Journal"

With more than eight million books in print in twenty languages, the North Carolina author never regrets tossing a budding career in academics for the sheer joy of writing fun fiction and hopes that one day a book of hers will end up saving the world. She always dreams big.

Falls short of expectations
By Barb
Madeline and Anthony's story is my least favorite of this series so far. For some reason, the writing felt off with this one. I didn't feel for the characters--actually, I guess I did, but not in the way intended. There were instances where the hero came across almost as sex addict rapist in the making, and parts where he (in his POV) deliberately interpreted Madeline's reactions to suit his own beliefs that she desired him when she herself doesn't even acknowledge this until much later on. Anthony goes from being obsessed with sex to being a perfect, compassionate gentleman with no thought of sex at all at intervals throughout the book and the inconsistency in his character grated quite a bit. The explanation and resolution to his actions also felt very incomplete to me and I was left feeling that Madeline somehow fell victim to his machinations. She was fully willing to fall on a sword (and throw her father on one too) in order to save a niece she'd never met, without much evidence that it was necessary. I expected more from a scientifically-minded person, and her sacrifice didn't make me feel any better about her relationship with Anthony, either. This being a romance, the point is belabored quite a bit that she does love him... but I still can't be sure if it's because of HIM, or because she felt moved to pity by his troubled past.
As for Mrs. Harris and Cousin Michael... at one point I wanted to slap Michael. Even knowing why he responded the way he did, his words were hurtful, cold, and immature, and completely unlike his usual supportive self. Can't say I liked either of the relationships in this book. They both left a bad taste in my mouth.

Exploring the dangers of chemistry...
By Rebecca Huston
I'll freely admit it, there are times when I realize that I've been reading too much of the same thing, and my brain starts to curdle. Characters become flat, plots listless, and one story fades into another without hardly a break in between. Most of the time this happens with books that fall into the genre of historical romance.
If I'm really lucky, the author has managed to make her characters interesting, or the plot have some new twists, or has actually done some research into the time and place. Most of the time, the books are pretty forgettable, and only very rarely does the novel end up on what I call my 'keeper' shelves.
One of the more recent authors to have been reaching that keeper shelf has been Sabrina Jeffries. Her novels have managed to get beyond the 'smut in fancy dress' level, and she does include little tidbits of daily life and history in her novels set in the late Georgian, or Regency, period of English history, usually about 1820 or so. Continuing her 'School for Heiresses' series, Let Sleeping Rogues Lie is no exception to this trend.
Madeline Prescott has a problem on her hands. She has come to Mrs. Harris' School for Young Ladies to support herself and her father after one of his medical cases resulted in a death. Now she is struggling to clear his name, without too much success when Anthony Dalton, Lord Norcourt, enters her life. He too has a few problems on his hands, and has come to the exclusive school to seek the approval of the courts to become his niece's guardian. If he can arrange Tessa to become a student there, his reputation will lose some of its tarnished allure. Almost immediately he finds himself tempted by Madeline, and starts a rather heated chase to get her into his bed.
But Madeline is anything but a naive teacher, and she knows exactly what he is after. And better still, he can arrange for her to meet with a scientist to help her father rebuild his life. In response to his need to get Tessa into the school, she wants him to teach some of her pupils of the dangers of men such as he, and to help her with her own researches into the results of inhaling nitrous oxide.
Yes indeed, that substance known today as 'laughing gas.' It seems that in the early nineteenth century, parties among members of society were arranged to inhale the gas, and soon they became known for rather scandalous goings on. Even Anthony, with his reputation, is horrified by Madeline's request. So begins this tale of mutual seduction, with a generous mix of lust, family secrets and scarred pasts. Will they ever get to the point where they're not trying to decieve each other and learn to love and trust?
I was rather surprised by this one. Despite the rather dull opening, and the usual machinations of haughty-nobleman-meets-clever-woman, by the midpoint of the story, I was finding myself curious to see how this one turned out. What is unusual is that Jeffries includes some actual historical figures, including Sir Humphrey Davy, who was the chemist who found the process of extracting nitrous oxide and wrote a massive volume on his findings. Along the way, we find a bit about the item known at the time as 'French Letters,' which decency forfends me from naming from their more commonly known term, and about what society at the time deemed moral behaviour.
Some readers might be shocked at the rather frank, and fairly modern, attitude towards sex in this one. The more intimate scenes are fairly steamy, but also very tastefully done. Jeffries doesn't let her prose get too purple, in a welcome break from some of the more outrageous historical romances out there, and neither does she allow the hero and heroine turn into sugary, syrupy nitwits either. Instead, they remain rather likeable and very human.
As with the other novels in this series, Jeffries opens each chapter with a letter from the headmistress, Mrs. Harris, and her mysterious benefactor, known only as 'Michael', who seems to have an amazing grasp of the doings of high society. These letters form a larger arc in the overall series, and I wonder if there will be any more of the story revealed. It's an interesting sidebar.
As historical romances go, this is better than most, and is a worthy entry in the series. The sensual scenes keep away from the more improbable shenanigans, and actually are interesting to read without being too offensive. What I did like was that there were real consequences to the characters' actions here, and they had personalities from what they had gone through in the past. The plot gets resolved in a fairly realistic way, without any hyperbole attached, and comes to a believable end.
Along with the story, there is an author?s note at the end about some of the details of the novel along with a few tidbits about the historical aspects. An excerpt from her next School novel is included, Once a Rake, Always a Rake.
Four stars overall. Recommended.

3.5 Stars...Interesting Story
By RETSmile
I didn't love it like I do most SJ books, but I did like it. It was an interesting story. I think that the hero and heroine's "scientific" approach to life (it came out much more so in the heroine) made them a bit staid and rigid at times. This could have been overcome by developing personalities a little more for the characters and probably would have made the book a whole lot more enjoyable and heart-tugging. I think that was the cause of a certain lack of emotional depth in the book, but interesting and different nonetheless.
