Wealthy businessman Isaac Pierce can’t stop thinking about the beautiful governess next door. He insulted her with his invitation to be his mistress and now she mistrusts him, but he can’t get her out of his mind.
Miss Abigail Francis has always tried to make herself unappealing to men and focus on maintaining respectability, but one look at her handsome new neighbor awakens a longing she’s long buried.
When Isaac’s niece is involved in an accident, he and Abigail find themselves living in the same household and Abigail begins to learn who Isaac really is behind his beautiful face and scandalous reputation as a seducer. She finds her walls beginning to crumble, but she must be careful to maintain her reputation and her position as they are all she has. But soon she begins to wonder what one brief indiscretion would hurt. She’d make sure no one ever knew. However, her actions will have consequences and may put her in more danger than she’d ever have expected.
This was my first read from this author and I’ll definitely try her again. That said, I really didn’t much care for this one. I couldn’t connect with the main characters and didn’t really ever feel any romance between them beyond mere lust. I started out disliking Isaac and his awful past decisions but eventually he did grow on me some and I wound up having more disdain for Abigail. Despite harping about education and logical thinking to her pupil, Abigail displayed a ridiculous naivete and stringent standard of living that I grew tiresome. I found her inner monologues, and sometimes even her dialogues, to be tedious and repetitive at times and her constant wishy-washyness with Isaac got old fast. The last bit of drama wasn’t enough to improve the otherwise slow pace of the book for me but I am happy I plowed through. I’ll read something else from this author but I wasn’t crazy about this one.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A Wanton Indiscretion is Wild, Wicked And Wanton #5 Series is a historical romance. When I started reading romance back in my 20’s I loved historical romances then I still do now 40 years later. The only difference is they are probably a whole lot sexier now than they were then.
This is Isaac Pierce and Abigail’s story. Abigail is a governess and knows that is her place in life.

I just love Natasha Blackthorne’s style of writing. She knows how to create great characters and blend them into an explosive erotica romance. If you like well written romances with a spicy touch, then you’ll love ‘A Wanton Indiscretion’, her fifth story of the ‘W. W. & W. Series.
She didn’t disappointed me with her beautiful characters Isaac and Abigail.
