New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens is adored for her titillating Regency romances that have garnered her countless fans.

Gyles Rawlings, the Earl of Chillingsworth, is a man determined to stay in control of his destiny. Even as he vows to wed a dutiful, blue-blooded lady for the purpose of fostering progeny, he deviously plans to fulfill his most sinful pleasures with a brazen strumpet. But standing at the altar on that fateful day, he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with his beautiful bride-to-be.

Critic reviews

"Laurens's twist on the bride-switch, arranged marriage formula is fun, spicy and sure to please." ( Publishers Weekly)

Most relevant
This story was in many ways the most interesting in the series as it has great structure and the depiction of the lives of 17th century high society is spellbinding.
However, the prolonged descriptions of pure pornographic scenes and the narrator’s tendency to recount them like he was relaying football matches let the book down and unnecessarily prolonged it.
Cut out half the intimate scenes and the book would be perfect. Got tired of fast forwarding them.

Could be shorter

If you are Voyeuristic, then this is this book for you. You are listening, with no need for imagination and LOTS OF DOUBLE ENTENDRE. I started to fast forward, with the words "not again." I then realised how bored I had become. The story is extremely thin, unimaginative and unbelievable. It started off badly and never drags itself out of the "sexual pit." Sadly the author has made a common mistake of describing the characters of the Heroine and Hero, then totally trashing them. It is hard to believe that the Hero is the same man; as seen in other books. Now he is a self-pitying coward and dictatorial bully. The Heroine is built up as a strong character. Yet apparently sex turns her into an easily manipulated, spineless wimp. Who accepts abuse from her husband and retaliates by throwing "temper tantrums." However the sex continues relentlessly. A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT 😞

Sex, tedium and unbelievable.
