Book Description:
Every woman has her Guilty Pleasures ...

For prim and shy Daphne Wade, the sweetest guilty pleasure of all is secretly watching her employer, the Duke of Tremore, as he works the excavation site on his English estate. Anthony hired Daphne to restore the priceless treasures he has been digging up, but it's hard for a woman to keep her mind on her work when her devastatingly handsome employer keeps taking his shirt off. He doesn't know she's alive, but who could blame her for falling hopelessly in love with him anyway?

Anthony thinks that his capable employee knows all there is to know about antiquities, but when his sister decides to turn the plain young woman in gold-rimmed glasses into an enticing beauty, he declares the task to be impossible. Daphne is devastated when she overhears ... and determined to prove him wrong. Now a vibrant and delectable Daphne has emerged from her shell, and the tables are turned. Will Anthony see that the woman of his dreams has been right there all along?

This was an excellent book. The characters were extremely well developed; you really understood their motivations, particularly Daphne the heroine.

Some have criticized this book because they felt that Anthony, the hero, was just using Daphne for her skills as an antiquarian. I completely disagree with that. Anthony's growing affection and respect for Daphne is evident throughout the book. When Anthony bargains with Daphne for more of her time, there is a playfulness to the exchanges that is delightful and that says this is not about business.

I thought this book was charming and the romantic tension was palpable. This was my first book by Laura Lee Guhrke, but I will definitely pick up the sequel, The Marriage Bed.

This is the 2nd book I've read from this author and so far I am enjoying them. At this time am looking forward to receiving His Every Kiss and The Marriage Bed to complete the Seduction's series. The heroins are strong, and liberated (no shrinking violets), as well as the Heroes, for that time period that is.

I thought this book was a very enjoyable read and I did not want to put it down once I started reading it. The characters were and their interaction was fun to read about. Very flirtatious and excitable. I was disappointed with the ending. I felt it was brought on abruptly and not at all like the rest of the dialogue in the book. All in all, a great book!!
