The Aim of a Lady (Five Star Romance)

From the back: Diana had wounded him! By accident, of course. Her dog had jostled her arm, and her arrow had gone astray. Nonetheless, the Eighth Viscount Alma's injury was such that he had to remain with the Savile's for two week's recuperation, and Diana Savile felt obliged to keep him amused as best she could...
This was an interesting story and I really enjoyed it, but I would have enjoyed it more if there hadn't been so much talk about sex. You see, Diana shot Alma in the butt, and only she was able to remove it. So she saw him partially naked and it didn't seem to faze her. Four years prior, Diana's older brother caught a neighboring young man attempting to seduce Diana and she was too caught up in the enjoyment to stop him. So then the readers get to listen in as the older brother warns Diana about her obvious passion problem. Diana trys to ask different women if they enjoy sex. And when Alma goes back to London we see that he spends a lot of time with his mistress. The young man from four years ago shows up to apologize for his behavior and no one trusts Diana to control her desire. And I'm leaving out several more scenes.
Overall, it would have been a wonderful story, but I wish the author had spent more time developing the characters and the plot instead of focusing on sex. It wan't necessary.
