This is a very steamy Christmas story, but I loved both Lily and Nash and hope you give it a try.
These two have much to give and learn, and the story is well written and hard to put down.
Hope you enjoy it too..
I enjoyed Lily and Joshua’s story very much. What started out as a one to experience pleasure and two, to get back at her cheating fiance, turned into something else. But it could have just as well ended badly. Not the best way to have revenge on a cheater even in the Victorian era. But, the storyline works anyway. I absolutely loved the confrontation scene between Lily and Humphrey at the masquerade ball. He deserved every bit of humiliation he got but you’ll have to read the story to find out what it was. It is worth the read, trust me.
After enjoying the first book (An improper proposition) of this series very much, I was looking forward to reading this book. I found the story fluent written, it’s written in both POV’s. You don’t have to read the previous books to read this story. I liked both characters and the sex scenes were steamy and hot. I had no problems with that. However, I had a little ‘problem’ with Lily’s situation/decision in the beginning. For me personal, it didn’t feel right.
Spoiler: Lily was a young lady who was engaged, she had just giving her virginity to her fiancé and then she found him cheating on her with another woman. So the next day she decides to run away from the Christmas party and to have sex with another man?! I had a little trouble with that.
But if you don’t mind that and if you are searching for a quick, steamy read. Than this is the story for you.
Wow…now that’s what I call a very hot, steamy and sexy Christmas story, I loved it!! The main characters, Lily and Joshua, have so much chemistry and I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it. Very well done!!
This Lily and Joshua’s story and what a delightful story it is. I loved these two characters with their willingness to explore and learn about each other as they fell in love.
It is nicely written and I was quite happy to read it in one sitting.
I read an ebook version and this is my voluntary review of it.
An Improper Christmas, by Amy Rose Bennett, was available at booksellers in 2017. This novella is book 3 in the Improper Liaisons series. It’s presented as improper and it is. There’s use of words and terms that no gentleman should ever say in front of a lady. Our heroine, Miss Lily Godwin, is only 1 romp with her fiancée into the sex game. Joshua Sheridan, Lord Nash, may be a worn out rake, handsome too, but he’s in love so darn quick. Instant attraction is really more instant lust. They follow through on the lust, believable on his part, very quickly. She’s a little too bold to just have jilted her fiancée, she thought she loved him but hasn’t 1 conflicted feeling. While they both were likeable enough I just couldn’t bring myself to care about their HEA. All in all, they deserve each other.
With Improper Christmas you’ll get hot, quick sex with lots of dirty talk. Not really my thing but it was mild and I certainly was not offended. I received this e-book free from Amazon & it’s my first time with Ms Bennett’s work. I’d gladly read another, she has a way with (curse) words.
