Jarrod, sixth marquess of Shepherdston, is asked by childhood friend Sarah Eckersley for help in the art of seduction. As the leader of the Free Fellows League, Jarrod is wary of a marriage trap--but love has a way of softening even the hardest fall.

A Very Good Read!

Ms. Hagan Lee's "Hardly A Husband" is another very good read in the "Free Fellows League." This is Jarrod's story and it will captivate the reader just as the previous stories have.

Jarrod has been bound to an oath that he made in childhood to the Free Fellows. He has been living life enjoying what it has to offer knowing that he will never marry. That is until a childhood friend or pest comes back into his life asking for "seduction" lessons. What's a gentleman to do now? Although he would love to debauch the lady, he can't since he has made a vow never to marry and Sarah is everything that he has hoped to avoid in life. Marriage, commitment...heirs...but Sarah touches him and he finds out that love is not as scary as he thought it was but will he realize this too late?

Sarah has only one more choice in order to save her aunt and herself. She has been displaced from her home and she has only three weeks to find a husband before one is found for her. She wants to take control of her destiny and goes to her childhood love Jarrod. If she can talk him into doing what she wants she will finally get her hearts desire. Jarrod. It's a gamble but she thinks she can pull it off...maybe.

This was a very good addition to this series and found Jarrod and Sarah to be very engaging characters. I love a story where the main characters already have a past. It was fun to revisit with old friends and Jarrod and Sarah's romance was sweet and tender. I highly recommend Ms. Hagan Lee and I eagerly look forward to reading her again in the future.

Would have been a 5 but for the rushed ending!

I really loved this book - this couple was just loving, fun, seemed to have had a sparring, sexually charged relationship for a long time. Jarrod has so very many reasons to really be emotionally not capable of loving or being loved. In no way did one realize from reading the other Freefellow books what a horrendous past poor Jarrod had faced. No wonder he wanted to found a little group to be able to keep feelings at bay and never marry. Thank goodness Sarah had been apart of his whole life and understood some of his trauma and absolutely loved him with her whole heart and sole. Sarah really does what so many of these ladies of the ton fail to do actually goes after what she wants on any terms. In fact she actually is expecting just a seduction and being a mistress. Jarrod is for the most part too honorable for this - although he comes pretty close. This couple sizzled - so why am I upset - the ending was just so rushed - I mean there was not even one final hot romantic scene between this couple - very very disappointing - because of all the Freefellows Jarrod and Sarah seemed to have the greatest initial connection. It was also great seeing Griff and Colin so openly in love - my how far they all have fallen - romance lives on!

amusing

Like the rest of the Free Fellows League, this one goes quickly. However, all of the action seems to be between the two lovebirds in this one - unlike the other three where they spend time dealing with the mission behind the Free Fellows. There are a few points of interest (such as the documents J is dealing with at first) and the confusion behind the missing duke...but since this one overlaps time with the fourth book, the plot twists seem to be more of a small sub-plot to just relate the characters back
