After surviving a living hell & being almost hung at Tyburn, Miss Amanda Wilcox craves a peaceful life. Time with her sister and quiet fireside nights are all she desires. Too disgraced to ever marry, with no virtue left to protect, she has no qualms indulging in a liaison. And she’s found the perfect man to satisfy her. Julius Blackwell, Earl of Rothchild was tasked with one job – look after his absent best friend Marcus’ new sister-in-law. Bedding his charge is out of the question. Too timid to even leave her home, he can’t imagine she’d submit to his more adventuresome tastes. She’s a distraction he can’t afford, especially as the Crown has asked him to uncover a dangerous blackmail ring.
A story that drew me in from the start, I wondered if Amanda would have her story after reading her sister Elizabeth’s story. The plot is very well paced & there was plenty happening to hold my interest. The author was very good at dripping out information that kept me turning the pages. There’s a mystery to solve that involves blackmail & murder. Julius & Amanda both have their demons to face after both being held captive & they each strive to overcome their fears. I look forward to the other three agents having their stories
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
It was a topic new to me, but I think the demons the characters were trying to slay were real. And love came in spite of that.
Kind of boring.
I don’t recommend this book. It was a real downer. The theme of bondage & kinky sex was disgusting. If the author can’t write write without constantly using the f- word she should give up writing as a profession!
Not interested in bondage
To me, these were two extremely damaged people, her more than him. I wished they could have found a love that was healing. But to me, she endured more pain. I did not by into the claim that she enjoyed it. I think she accepted it, because she was desperate to be loved.
If you’re into bondage, then you would probably like the book. If not, don’t waste your time.
It was a bit too much for me but I’m sure people who enjoy a book with descriptive sex would like it.
Not the type of story I enjoy
This one was a little too sexy for my enjoyment, but I liked the story and the intrigue kept me reading.
Hero works for the government as a behind the scenes investigator and fixer. He has issues related to 3 years as a prisoner in Japan. Heroine also was imprisoned and almost hanged. Both struggle with healing from these traumas. This book has lots of sex, but I thought it was clinical rather than passionate. The ending is a bit simplistic but there is a HEA.
A light s-m novel
