Description

Lorraine Heath ends her bestselling Sins for All Seasons series with the hero readers have been waiting for!

She wants lessons in seduction

Althea Stanwick was a perfect lady destined to marry a wealthy lord, until betrayal left her family penniless. Though she’s lost friends, fortune, and respectability, Althea has gained a scandalous plan. If she can learn to seduce, she can obtain power over men and return to Society on her terms. She even has the perfect teacher in mind, a man whose sense of honor and dark good looks belie his nickname: Beast.

But desire like this can’t be taught

Benedict Trewlove may not know his parentage but he knows where he belongs—on the dark side of London, offering protection wherever it’s needed. Yet no woman has ever made such an outrageous request as this mysterious beauty. Althea is out of place amongst vice and sin, even if she offers a wicked temptation he can’t resist. But as the truth of his origin emerges at last, it will take a fierce, wild love to overcome their pasts.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book with the twists and turns . I never thought the ending would be as such. I love the characters both Benedict and Thea were wonderful. Playing on their insecurities and the strength of character was well done.
  • More boring than beastly

    The book was great until the last 150 pages. Just turned sappy, mushy and everything imperfect became perfect. And the look 40 something years into the future? I didn’t get the point of going so far into the future.
  • This book is terribly written.

    I am breaking my don’t-write-reviews rule because people need to be warned. I read and enjoyed the other books in this series, and this book’s prose style is dramatically different than the rest. Either the editor on the previous books didn’t do this one or the author has forgotten how to construct sentences in English. The prose is florid, the grammar is horrid, and I wish I could get a refund.

    This book had me laughing one minute and crying the next. It’s about two people who have had to deal with what life has thrown them. After being with each other they change their outlook and what they saw for their future. It’s full of strong characters with family love and a steamy romance.
