Welcome to the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society – where unconventional and uninhibited ladies and gentlemen discuss all matters erotic… After a thoroughly unpleasant first marriage, Madeline, Lady Upcott, reveled in a widow’s freedoms—both in the bedchamber and out. Yet society cares not for an independent woman, and her family has decided she must wed again to replenish the coffers. It seems her … seems her dream of happiness with a dominant man who fulfills her wickedest fantasies, is destined never to be.
History scholar Lord Ethan Dare has returned from Egypt to find his new inheritance on the brink of ruin, and his relatives at war with England’s notorious Wicked Widow. They want her banished, but the woman he meets is a warm, witty, and lushly sensual bluestocking who is more than willing to offer a younger and inexperienced man some very special instruction. One night turns into a scorching hot affair for two kindred souls, but can fledgling love survive the crushing burdens of duty?

I loved To Tame a Wicked Widow! The characters were lovable, and the chemistry between the pair simply sizzles on the page. I thought the pages might actually catch fire a couple of times. Great book! Highly recommend.
Welcome to the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society – where unconventional and uninhibited ladies and gentlemen discuss all matters erotic…
Madeline, Lady Upcott is now a widow & is enjoying her freedom after a lacklustre marriage. Yet society cares not for an independent woman, and her family has decided she must wed again so that she can continue to keep them. History scholar Lord Ethan Dare has returned from Egypt to find his new inheritance on the brink of ruin, and his relatives at war with England’s notorious Wicked Widow. They want her banished, but the woman he meets is a warm, witty, and lushly sensual bluestocking who is more than willing to offer a younger and inexperienced man some very special instruction.
Only a novella, unfortunately, but it packs a punch. Madeline is treated horribly by both her own relatives & those of her late husband, no wonder she kicked over the traces! Ethan would far rather be travelling the world than trying to deal with his inheritance. The pair are attracted to each other from their first meeting & what they first thought was to be one night quickly changes for both of them until misunderstandings almost drive them apart. I read the book in one session & found it a sexy, hot delightful read, the characters were very likeable & the story well paced. I look forward to more stories of the SSF society.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
Starring Madeline, Lady Upcott and Lord Ethan Dare.
Madeline is a widow who has had a string of unsatisfying lovers after her husband’s death. Despite her terrible marriage she longs to find a worthy husband, but this time she wants to marry for love AND lust. She’s a little spitfire heroine who knows her sexuality and wouldn’t mind being disciplined by the right man.
Ethan has just inherited a destitute title. He is the cousin of a Madeline’s diseased husband and has been asked to curb her hoydenish manner. Upon seeing her, he’s instantly attracted and realized that taming her won’t be such a chore after all.
How utterly delicious these two were. Madeline and Ethan had instant chemistry. Madeline is an experienced lover who is 5 years older. Ethan is gladly surrendering his V-card to her, but quickly learns how to take charge and dominate Madeline the way she loves it. These two become lovers, but family obligations and the need to marry for wealth might just tear them apart. Ethan turns into a moody, broody hero for a yummy second when he thinks his time with a Madeline is over… god bless a heartbroken hero!!! But love conquers all with a little help from some friends.
This time Nicola Davidson had me ugly crying for Madeline and Ethan. These two made my toes curl and I’m once again woohooing Nicola Davidson for writing characters that gives me all the feels. Loved this story!!
This is book 2 in the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society Series.
My star system:
5 stars: Ugly cried AF… major book hangover… characters were amazing… made me wanna hug the author for writing a book that gave me all the feels!! Will be re-reading this story over and over and over again!!
Nicola Davidson is the queen of erotic Regency romance, no doubt about it! Madeline, Lady Upcott – Maddy – is a lustful widow, and she makes no apologies about her brazenness. Done with propriety, after a dutiful marriage, she means to enjoy what life has to offer, and upon meeting the Ethan, the new Viscount Dare Ethan she knows he has what she wants. But he is younger, and let’s say circumstances do not seem the most favourable, but attraction being what it is, we have a grand romance waiting to happen.
Ms. Davidson always amazes me with the extraordinary quality of her writing, so lush and eloquent; with her innate ability to create endearing characters, to convey sexual chemistry the way she does, to tell a complete story within the confines of a novella – and how I always wish her stories were longer! But when faced with perfection, how can one complain? Furthermore, Ms. Davidson understands perfectly the intricacies of the Dominant/submissive relationship, of the people involved, and does not stoop to stereotypes. I adored Maddy: she glows, she exudes sensuality, self-confidence; she is a brilliant character, and Ethan is just as delectable. I could “see” them as if presented with a painting of the characters; Ms. Davidson’s descriptions of everything under the sun are beyond compare! I felt the blazing chemistry, the love, the passion; everything! TO TAME A WICKED WIDOW is another absolutely marvellous book by the incomparable Nicola Davidson!
The Surrey Sexual Freedom Society is a place where unconventional and uninhibited ladies and gentlemen discuss all matters erotic. This tale is about a quirky, wicked widow who is also a bluestocking. Enter the new head of the family who is great looking, younger and also a virgin. They instantly like each other, especially since they are surrounded by sour, hateful family members on both sides.
Madeline is held back by the conventions and norms of the day and constantly hounded by her overly-critical relatives. Ethan arrives in England to begin his duties in his family who also have certain expectations; he is not wealthy or influential, but finds that he shares many of the same interests as the beautiful widow of the former head of the family. Their interactions range from sweet and fun to explosively naughty and steamy!
I really enjoyed the story of these two! Rarely do you see the male as the inexperienced one in the relationship. Their attraction is immediate, but they soon realize they enjoy many of the same things in life. Both were equally surprised when their passion for each other became more than they could have imagined.
One night turns into a steamy affair for these two, but they are both surrounded by heavy burdens of duty. I loved how their passion turns to so much more, with a few twists and turns to help them discover their true feelings and realize their happy ending.
