Book Description:
Meet the Merry Widows, a secret society of respectable ladies ... with some scandalous ideas ...
Assured of both money and position, none of the five friends who form the Merry Widows need ever marry again. But they have no intention of forsaking physical passion for the rest of their lives. So they make a daring pact—each will consider taking a lover for the pure pleasure of it.
Marianne Nesbitt adored her late husband David, but the racy reminiscences of the Merry Widows make her wonder if she missed something special. Might she find it now through a love affair? Uncertain how to go about it, she asks Adam Cazenove, an old friend and notorious rake, to tutor her in the arts of seduction.
The brazen request turns Adam’s world upside down. He never imagined his best friend’s very proper and exceedingly attractive widow would seek out a lover. If not for his recent betrothal, he would jump at the chance to warm her bed. Since he cannot bear the thought of another man doing so, he foils her every attempt at seduction. Until one night of unintended passion changes everything…

I loved this book! Candace Hern is one of my favorite authors because of her ability to create romantic and sexy heroes, and Adam is definitely that. This is the first book in the Merry Widows trilogy.

A very good book, my first by this author. A touching story that does not ignore the feelings that a young widow might have for the husband she lost. Hern makes the growing love between Marianne and Adam a very special thing. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!

I loved this first book in Hern's "Merry Widows" Series! I particularly liked the h/h Adam & Marianne ... and the methods Adam used to discourage the gentlemen on Marianne's 'list of potential lovers' had me laughing out loud! Enjoy!

Cali M. (This is the 1st book in the "Merry Widows"series and off to a great start! One thing this group of friends and 'widows' do not need is money. What they do need is a little spice in their life... or lover.
Widow and her husband's best friend find love in this funny romance book.
