Book Description
The night that changes everything…
Life for Victoria Lacey should be perfect. And it is—perfectly boring. Agree to marry a lord who has yet to inspire a single, solitary tingle? Why, of course. Smile as though this is not the thousandth time he’s mentioned hounds and hunting? It’s all in a day’s work for the oh-so-proper sister of the Duke of Blackmore. Surely no one would suspect her secret longing for heart-racing, head-spinning passion. Except, perhaps, a dark stranger… on a terrace… at a ball where she should definitely not be kissing a man she has only just met.
The obsession that leads to ruin…
Hatred, not love, drives Lucien Wyatt, Viscount Atherbourne, to tempt the “Flower of Blackmore” into sin. Her brother has done unthinkable damage to Lucien’s family, and he intends to exact revenge in the only way left to him: Ruining his enemy’s sister, then stealing her from Blackmore by making her his own.
The woman who will set fire to her husband’s heart…
As Lucien carries out his ruthless plan, tutoring his new bride in the finer points of pleasure, her surrender leaves him breathless… and soon a new obsession awakens—a scandalous fascination with his irresistible wife.
About Elisa Braden
Reading romance novels came easily to Elisa Braden. Writing them? That took a little longer. After graduating with degrees in creative writing and history, Elisa spent entirely too many years in “real” jobs writing T-shirt copy ... and other people’s resumes ... and articles about giftware displays. But that was before she woke up and started dreaming about the very unreal job of being a romance novelist. Better late than never.
Elisa lives in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, where you're constitutionally required to like the colors green and gray. Good thing she does. Other items on the "like" list include cute dogs, strong coffee, and epic movies. Of course, her favorite thing of all is hearing from readers who love her characters as much as she does.
My Thoughts
This book had everything I wanted. I dashing hero, A smart heroine, and a plot that would backfire for sure.
Lucien is on a mission for revenge. Having suffered the loss of both his brother and sister he is determined to make the person he assumes is responsible to pay. In his mission to gain revenge, he goes after Victoria the sister of the man he believes wronged him.
Victoria allows herself to be seduced not because she is a wanton woman but because she believes there is more to life and love than just marrying the right person. An encounter with Lucien on the balcony confirms her longing for more.
I loved these two characters because even though Lucien is out for revenge he really doesn't want to hurt Victoria in the process. With Victoria, she sees Lucien as the man he can be. Through their journey to not only find love, they learn that not everything is as it would seem. I enjoyed watching these two not only learn about themselves but also about each other. They were the perfect pair.
Their chemistry was amazing and I loved that Victoria didn't always go off half-crazed but instead learned to listen and watch.
Overall this book was a wonderful read and I look forward to reading more by this author. this was a wonderful find for me.
