Book Description:
Ellen Drake has seen firsthand how dangerous scandal can be. Her family was torn apart by an unjust accusation ten years ago, and now, working as a paid companion, Ellen must keep her reputation above reproach. Catching her employer's betrothed in a sizzling tryst is bad enough; even worse that Ellen should find herself so infernally enthralled by the spectacle! Ellen intends to prevent Alex Marshall, Lord Stanton, from dallying with other women before his wedding day, but the rogue turns the tables — with an invitation to be his paramour. It's a proposition that is too outrageous, too indecent - and strangely irresistible. With a single touch, Alex opens the door to a secret world of sensual desire, a world Ellen is burning to explore…

Alex intends to be faithful once he's married, but in the meantime, London offers so many tempting bed partners. Giving the prim Miss Drake a taste of the excitement she clearly craves will be a delightful diversion, nothing more. But their secret dalliance unleashes the vengeance of someone who is plotting revenge, someone whose own erotic pursuits are twisted with madness. And the scandal that destroyed Ellen's family is about to come calling once again…

I love Regency romances, but I did not like this one; the characters were weak & cconstantly made bad decisions. And one of the baddest characters actually got away with her very - very! - evil machinations! The hero & heroine didn't come to their senses until the very last pages. And personally, I need an epilogue to know that they lived "happily ever after", because I wasn't convinced they were.

It's fluffy, romantic smut. When I'm in the mood for fluffy, romantic smut this is the author I reach for.

Not your average Regency, but a good read. Too many secondary players with way too much page time. It doesn't end with your "typical" Happy-
Ever-After, which gives the characters more depth.

Not a bad read, but not the best by Ms. Holt.

Another hot book by Ms. Holt. I love the banter between Alex Marshall, Lord Stanton and Ellen Drake. She's determined to keep him celibate by sneaking into the rooms where he's planned a meeting for a tryst. He thinks that she's a bluestocking but finds out differently, to his happy surprise.
