Who the Marquess Dares to Desire, by Tabetha Waite. Thank you to the author for providing me with great entertainment, by writing this romantic story. I was on a thrill ride and I didn’t want to get off. As I read the story it was like my mind was over here soaking in all the good secrets that’s been hidden for years. Then my mind was in trans as I read the conspiring back stabbing, kidnapping and blackmail among foes.
And when my mind was on the brink of pure joy, the writer decided to provided me with reading a few intimate, sensual, steamy love scenes between Clara and Drayven. There are moments in the story were Clara was really getting on my nerves. Drayven, I have to say, his character was brilliant. I loved his character a lot. As I read these intimate scenes it was almost like I was invading on their privacy.
But that’s how real the writers details and descriptions were in the book. I absolutely feel that everything about this book reads with some realism. I was very impressed by the entertainment, as well as the suspense and drama. The characters were amazing. Each character was written perfectly for this story.
The dialogue among them was outstanding. While reading their conversations, I could feel their joy. Their happiness. Their anguish. Their fear.
Their love. These moments were so intense for me, that I couldn’t put the book down. I had to see the triumph of the characters and the love that grows between Carla and Drayven. I had to see it through to the end. This book was on fire and I am giving it high praises.
I was excited to read some great action within the story plot. Engaging all the main characters into these action scenes was perfect. These scenes were written so well. The writer made sure to supply all the information that the reader needed to stay on track with the plot of the story. I loved the seduction in the book.
I was glad to see that this book was a page turner. The pace of the book moved freely through the book. I was appreciative to the fact that the writer didn’t fill her book with unnecessary information. I also appreciate that the book didn’t drag out scenes. Without a doubt, I enjoyed reading this lovely story.
Until next time — Wait. Wait. Hold up. WHEATON! You are one cold a** b****. Oh you are definitely going to get yours. Until next time my fellow readers… read on!

Another engrossing read in this enthralling series. A well written book that I read in under a day. The pace is very good & the pages flew by. I loved Drayven & admired his patience as I wanted to shake Clara at times. Whilst I liked Clara she did annoy me. However their attraction sizzled & they did compliment each other. This is the fourth book in the series & whilst it could easily be read on its own to fully appreciate it I’d recommend reading from the start. I loved the teaser at the end & can’t wait to read the next book in the series
This is my first read by this author, and I can honestly say, I hope it’s not my last. The characters are well flushed out and likeable, the romance is allowed to brew and the storyline with the suspense is just enough to keep your interest. One part of the book that was a bit of a letdown was the danger element, it seemed to be solved too easily, but when a lot of the happy parts of an ending in a book is rushed, this author takes her time and gives the story a proper send off, and the epilogue sets up the next book nicely.
