Summary

London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon, is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon's upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other than Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules. Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable - his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage - or it might cause an explosion.

Contains mature themes.

The story could be really amusing if the narration didn’t sound like a robot or AI voice

Potential to be excellent

I liked the story. I didn't think the narration was bad either as some of the reviews say. Just found some bits tedious, like she wants their relationship to change but keeps calling him 'my lord ' even though he keeps telling her to call him Devon. I would recommend though.

I enjoyed the plot very much. But the narration made this story less enjoyable. I liked the hero and heroine.

Good plot/ bad narrator

It's a repressed book about a repressed couple 😬

It's not a bad book, however I did find it disappointing as going by the thumbnail, the title & the synopsis... I was expecting it to be steamy & it wasn't... not even a little bit!

It did get a bit boring as it became very repetitive... Devon was told as a boy that wives are for duty, mistresses are for pleasure & that motto is repeated ad nauseum from the beginning to the end of the book!

The author herself comments that they take a step forward & 3 steps back, but rather than move it forward even if incrementally... it's all undone again in seconds & back to square one we go!

There's a lot of focus on hand holding & I haven't found hand holding titillating since my teens 🤷‍♀️

It's an interesting story about repression, but it could've been a whole lot shorter than it was!

if lay back & think of England was a book 🤪

I was looking forward to this book but was very disappointed with the narrator.

Can't put my finger on it. By chapter 4 I'd had enough and had to stop.

Couldn't finish
