About the Lessons in Love series
Lessons in Love is a Regency romance trilogy from Suzanne Enoch following a trio of notorious, reputation-damaged rakes as each is drawn into an unexpected match. The Rake (2002) opens the series, followed by London's Perfect Scoundrel (2003) and England's Perfect Hero (2004), each pairing a differently scandalous hero with a heroine capable of reforming -- or at least redirecting -- him.
The series title plays directly on its premise: every entry is structured as a kind of tutorial in which the heroine, deliberately or not, teaches the hero something essential about love that his rakish reputation had kept him from learning, a device Enoch uses to unify three otherwise independent courtships.
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in the Lessons in Love series?
Three: The Rake (2002), London's Perfect Scoundrel (2003), and England's Perfect Hero (2004).
What connects the Lessons in Love books?
Each follows a reputation-damaged rake who's taught something essential about love by the heroine -- a loose thematic thread rather than a continuing plot.
Do I need to read Lessons in Love in order?
Not strictly -- each book follows a different hero with a self-contained romance, though publication order is the conventional sequence.
Is Lessons in Love connected to Enoch's other series?
No -- it's a standalone trilogy, unconnected to her With This Ring or Griffin Family series.
Is a fourth Lessons in Love book planned?
None has been announced as of August 2026; the trilogy appears complete.
