Loved this book. 1860. I believe it's third in a series but I didn't read the other two and this is easily read on it's own.

Paraplegic asks his wife to have sex with his cousin and dearest friend in order to provide her with a child. It's a queasy, rather unpleasant setup for a romance - her being married and all. But it's also a romance novel so you have to trust that the author will provide a satisfactory resolution. I think the main story point that Lorraine Heath explores is the type of marriage that comes when two people marry without love and also that so many people of that time found love and sexual gratification outside of their marriages. It was actually rather interesting. There is no real villain in the story, just a lot of people who are the victims of circumstance.

The characters were well defined and easy to like. It was a sexy tale with a good dose of steamy scenes. A cute side story of Ainsley's mother and her long-time paramour rounded out the book.
