A Quick read that keeps the reader engaged. The characters were well thought out. I look forward to book 2.

I enjoyed the mixture of modern and historical romance, it’s different but definitely scandalous enough!

Weird. A historic English BDSM? I’ll say it again, weird. The book had very thin storyline. Mostly it centered around the BDSM idea. Not my idea of romance.

Loved it I wish it was a part 2

Satisfactorily done and a quick read. Puts you through the feelings and leaves you wanting more.

I have read Carole Mortimer before but this is the first historical romance of hers I have read. She creates a wickedly handsome alpha male hero in the Duke of Blackmoor and pairs him with a sweet and proper little widow-next-door heroine, creates a mysterious woman who somehow means them harm, and then the fun begins. From attempted murder to erotic spanking, the heat and danger kept me turning the pages. Good entertainment.

I like the story very much, but there were a few things I had to overlook in order to finish the book. First of all, the langauge of the book does not seem regency eough. Sometimes the Duke would speak as if he was in the 21st century. Towards the end of the book the main characters do something that should of caused scandal, it is not something that would have actually happened consdiering the time and place of the book. However, the story was good, so i overlooked these things, but they did bother me. Another thing that bothered me was how quickly the 2 characters were engaging in sexual affairs. I wish that there had been a bit more of a story before this happened, but after that there was enough of a story to keep me interested.

As usual Carole Mortimer has outdone herself in this Regency Romance of Thea and Julian in their sensuous romance. Her descriptions of the time period, the castles, clothing and customs are right on. Anyone who likes/loves historical romances will thoroughly enjoy this book. LaMar
