Publisher's summary

When a nearly naked woman crashes into his arms, Paul, the new Earl of Latterly, knows he's left his monk-like world behind. Raised apart from females by his misogynist father, Paul hardly knows how to speak with the delightful girl who's dashed out of the dance hall. But in a single night's tryst, they discover a passion he's long denied himself. Yet to his dismay, he learns Emma is the adopted sister of the very man he seeks: the true heir to the earldom, Paul's ne'er-do-well cousin.

Although she's tried to escape her free-loving mother's reputation, Emma consents to one night of lust...for a price. But as her heart falls for the stranger, she forgoes payment and flees into the night. Only to find Paul on her doorstep again, seeking her brother. And offering an inheritance that will change her family's lives forever.

Her rapscallion brother needs training to blend with the ton, and Paul needs Emma's help. Fear of becoming his eccentric father makes Paul skittish, and Emma's outré family keeps the waters well churned. But as Paul fulfills his promise to reveal the true heir, he and Emma must forge a new path to love...before their pasts rob them of true happiness.

Note: This book contains explicit sexual content and graphic language. It is hotter than most titles by Kate Rothwell.

Love it

I love this book the spice was great , the narrator did great with the different voices definitely recommend

A bit crude

I would swear this was written by a man using a pseudonym. The story was fairly unique-unless you’ve seen Pretty Woman. But the terminology used seemed a bit ‘masculine’.

Best one I've read in awhile

I really love how honest the female lead is. She was a no nonsense kind of woman, which made me admire her so. I also really appreciate that her relationship with the male lead had lasted many months before the ending of the novel.

So sweet

I found this story adorable. It was a little fast paced for my taste, but I loved it regardless.

Quick read nothing remarkable

Not a bad book or good one. If this book were a color it would be taupe. It lacks sustenance like white bread. Use it for background noise to stay awake on a roadtrip.

It was good

I think more could have been told in certain areas but it was a good story.

Difficult subject

Interesting way to deal with difficult subject. Both characters had many emotional scars but in the end they were able to heal them together. Unfortunately, the main way they thought they could heal their pain was through sex… causing more guilt and pain.

Enjoyable story but some upsetting content

I generally liked this story and thought the narrator did a great job. I will listen to it again sometime and I'd generally recommend it. I'm only leaving a review because I think some readers would want to know that some of the content may be upsetting. Though the author doesn't delve into detail and the events are all in the past from the main storyline, this story does feature child abuse and sexual assault. These experiences do heavily influence actions and thoughts of the main characters so they are mentioned a few times, but, as I said, in limited detail. I hope this will be helpful in case anyone else is sensitive to these topics to not feel

Fun story

Perfect combo of damsel in distress and independent capable female main character. Clever blending of late 19th-century of the American and English society.

Wonderful!

Any additional comments?

This is an exciting and well done book. It had a lot of adventure and twists and turns.
