Miss Primrose needs to be punished.
A member of the wickedly wanton Inn of the Red Chrysanthemum, where the most taboo and illicit pleasures are indulged, Miss Primrose — or Mistress Primrose, as she prefers — left Nicholas Edelton a shell of a man. Now his older brother, Spencer Edelton, the Marquess of Carey, intends to provide her a set-down she will never forget.
Weary from exacting her … from exacting her revenge upon the man who raped her sister, Beatrice Primrose has had her fill of men of privilege and presumption, but she accepts a fateful invitation from a handsome nobleman to spend a sennight at his estate for a grand sum of money. She soon learns, however, that she will not get to reprise her role as Mistress. To her horror, she finds his lordship expects her to submit to him!
But Beatrice won’t give in so easily.
In a clash of wills, fueled by vengeance and lust, Lord Carey and Miss Primrose wrestle for dominance in, and out of, the bedchamber. Their biggest struggle, however, may be against their own desires…
Can Miss Primrose take what she dishes? And will Lord Carey succumb or succeed in punishing Miss Primrose?

Lord Carey is out to make Miss Primrose pay for destroying his “innocent” brother, but his assumptions don’t match the woman. Now he’s confused. He enjoys spending time with her in and out of the bedroom, and even worse, he is beginning to like her.Misunderstandings and assumptions plus scorching desires.Twenty-three-year-old Miss Beatrice Primrose is neither a courtesan nor a strumpet. She is of gentle, though humble, birth. She contacted Madam Devereux, proprietor of the Red Chrysanthemum, for the sole purpose of making the acquaintance of Nicholas and William Edelton. These two “gentlemen” brutally raped her sister Charlotte. She too was out for revenge.
Didn’t care for it
Sensual, cunning and romantic
Stuff of fantasy. Thanks for a break from the norm, Em Brown. Hooray for you!
I liked the book very much, however it just ended at an unexpected time. Apparently you have to read several other books to get an ending!
Enjoyed how the characters interacted with each other
A book needs to be done when it’s done. Don’t make me buy another.
This was an amazing read so exciting and very steamy. i love these kinds of books
Definitely a torrid read! Lots of action with a love/ hate relationship.
Loved it interesting storyline plus the steam!!
A lot of arrogance and seeking vengeance central to the series. Have mixed feelings as to pursuing further read.
Very hot steamy sexual scenes exploring the putter edges of sexual fantasy in and unusual time period. Great characters
I liked it. Was a little more erotic than I normally read. It kept me wanting continue to now what would happen next.
Not crazy about cliff hangers.
Stupid and asinine.
Wall to wall abusive porn. Thin ‘storyline’. DELETED
I really liked this book, and I would recommend it to all who like historical romances!
Too predictable and too repetitive.
Quit b4 the end. Don’t like pornography. Had vocab I did not want to look up, but have never heard in my life.
The book started out well and it had a story plot to it however it ended very abruptly leaving you feeling unfinished and a little provoked.
