Elizabeth Armstrong is on the warpath. She never expected fidelity from the husband she knew for only a week, but his scandalous exploits have made her the object of pity for years. Now that he's back, she has no intention of sharing her bed with him -- or providing him with an heir -- unless he can earn her forgiveness. No matter what feelings he ignites within her ...

Jack is not expecting a spirited, confident woman in place of the meek girl he left behind. As his desire intensifies, he wants much more than a marriage in name only. But winning his wife's love may be the greatest battle he's faced yet.

Blurb:

Grand Passion ... or epic disaster?

Lord Nevinstoke revels in acting the young wastrel, until his father is killed in a drunken duel. Never one to do anything halfway, Nev throws off his wild ways to shoulder a mountain of responsibility -- and debt -- vowing to marry a rich girl and act the respectable lord of the manor.

Manufacturing heiress Penelope Brown seems the perfect choice for a wife. She’s pretty, proper, and looking for a husband.

Determined to rise above her common birth, Penelope prides herself on her impeccable behavior and good sense. Grand Passion? Vulgar and melodramatic. Yes, agreeing to marry Nev was a rare moment of impulse, yet she’s sure they can build a good marriage based on companionship and mutual esteem.

But when they arrive at the manor, they’re overwhelmed with half-starved tenants, a menacing neighbor, and the family propensity for scandal. As the situation deteriorates, the newlyweds have nowhere to turn but to each other. To Penelope’s surprise, she begins to fervently hope that her first taste of Grand Passion in her husband’s arms won’t be her last.

First published by Dorchester in March 2010.

Warning: Contains kisses in the breakfast room, account books in the bedroom ... and murder in the garden. Featuring a heroine who’s used to settling, a hero who’s used to getting what he wants without trying, and a love for which they’ll both have to fight tooth and nail.

Review: Darius by Grace Burrowes

Click here to buy the book on Amazon
Click here to buy the paperback at The Book Depository
Trouble is spelled D-A-R-I-U-S.

I am a big, big fan of Grace Burrowes, but it was a deliberate choice for me to skip the Lonely Lords series when it was released 2013 because I was daunted by the number of books in the series -- 12 in all. While I didn't read them, I bought the books as they were released or when they went on sale. A few weeks ago, I had just finished the A Year Without a Duke series, and I needed to follow it up with a good read, and Grace Burrowes has never disappointed me before, so I started reading Darius's book ...

And now I'm in deep. I've actually finished reading Darius, and Nicholas, and I'm currently reading Ethan (book 3). I am really trying to slow down my reading, because it means a greater review backlog for me -- I'm trying to stay away from the Lonely Lords by reading cookbooks and magazines, but I am totally and completely enthralled with all of them -- yes, even the ones I haven't read (because I've been reading the excerpts of their books).

So here I am, with Darius's review, so I can continue reading Ethan and proceed to Beckman -- and, yes, I'll probably binge-read the series this summer.

Darius is a complicated man who is about to enter into a very complicated situation: hired by the dying Lord William Longstreet, Darius must spend time with the viscount's young wife, Lady Vivian, and hope to get her with child in order to secure the Longstreet succession line, and to protect Vivian when she becomes a widow. Paid by discontented housewives to fulfill their sexual desires, Darius isn't a stranger to unusual sexual requests, and Lord Longstreet's offer of money would be enough to help Darius improve his estate, and, maybe, allow him to get out of his questionable choice of occupation. I think Darius expected this arrangement to be similar to his other arrangements, but Vivian's beauty, intelligence, and honesty disarm him.

Vivian is a surprise to both Darius to us, readers -- she's an incredibly strong and pragmatic woman who is a willing, but reluctant participant in her husband's plan. Vivian served as the companion to the first Lady Longstreet, and the viscount married her to protect her from her relatives, who see Vivian as a pawn to be sold off to the highest bidder. Now, she is about to be without her husband's protection, and William Longstreet is taking drastic measures to protect both her, and his family legacy. Vivian is that rare combination of vulnerability and strength -- she needs protection from the evil intentions of her brother, but she is not entirely helpless as well. When she encounters her brother (happens several times in the story), it isn't with fear or trepidation, but wariness. Vivian's love and loyalty to William puts her in a really difficult position: to fulfill her promise to him, she must break her marriage vows to him.

I love the contrast of business and pleasure in this story -- Darius and Vivian both believe they could separate their minds and their hearts, but William, who has lived longer than either of our hero and heroine, has very realistic expectations. William and Vivian both carefully selected Darius from a list of potential candidates, but it was William who did the final interview. Did he go into this arrangement expecting something more between Darius and Vivian? I think so, but he never pushed or manipulated, but allowed things to unfold in its own natural time. I really liked William, who seemed to stand from a seemingly omniscient perspective, and accepted the outcome of his life's choices with such admirable grace and dignity.

What unfolds between Darius and Vivian is both predictable and unpredictable: it begins, as expected, with a lot of hesitation, especially (and understandably) from Vivian -- and Darius is the expert who guides her into this strange new situation. Darius takes charge in the beginning, helping Vivian change her wardrobe, and guiding her to be more confident -- but the relationship starts to slowly equalize as Vivian also teaches Darius about what it means to love and be loved. There is no sizzle and there are no sparks in the beginning, because our heroine really tries her best to maintain her distance from Darius -- but, when the proverbial wall goes down -- this is where it becomes unpredictable: because what happens next isn't something that can be easily defined. It isn't a burning passion, but it isn't cold detachment either. There is just this pull between the two of them: like the moon and the earth -- essential to one another.

Beyond Vivian and Darius, Grace Burrowes explores family dynamics: Darius and his brother Trent, and the rest of the Lindsey clan, William Longstreet and his bastard son, etc. I really love how Burrowes expands her world in small, intimate increments -- Valentine Windham is in this novel, as well as Nicholas Haddonfield. I also love how she expands on the problems and complications that beset her hero and heroine in similarly small and incremental ways. Beyond the problem of the Longstreet succession, Darius must deal with her angry and vengeful clients, who seek to ruin Vivian out of spite. By the later part of the book, there seems to be so many tangled knots -- and Burrowes is never one to just allow the problems to magically disappear, but, instead, allows her characters to use their resources: their intellect, their friends, etc. to figure a way out of their problems.

This book is that rare mix of spellbinding storytelling, strong characters and challenging family drama. I really, really can't wait to read more of the Lonely Lords. (Now that I've completed this review, I can read Ethan's story! ... and write Nicholas's review.)

Darius is the first book in Grace Burrowes's The Lonely Lords series. To find out more about Grace Burrowes and her awesome books, click below:

The Lady's Command (The Adventurers Quartet) by Stephanie Laurens
$0.99 on Amazon

About the book:

352 pages, 77 reviews (Average customer rating: 3.7 stars)

How does marriage work? If convention is set aside and is no longer there to guide ... what then?

Stephanie Laurens, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Cynster novels, brings you THE ADVENTURERS QUARTET, a riveting blend of Regency-era high seas adventure, a mystery shrouded in the heat of tropical jungles, and the passionate romances of four couples and their unexpected journeys into love.

The instant Captain Declan Frobisher laid eyes on Lady Edwina Delbraith, he knew she was the lady he wanted as his wife. The scion of a seafaring dynasty accustomed to success, he discovered that wooing Edwina was surprisingly straightforward -- not least because she made it plain that she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

Declan's vision of marriage was of a gently-reared wife to grace his arm, to manage his household, and to bear his children. He assumed that household, children, and wife would remain safely in England while he continued his life as an explorer sailing the high seas.

Declan got his wish -- up to a point. He and Edwina were wed. As for the rest -- his vision of marriage ...

Aunt of the young Duke of Ridgware and sister of the mysterious man known as Neville Roscoe, London's gambling king, even before the knot was tied Edwina shattered the illusion that her character is as delicate, ethereal, and fragile as her appearance suggests. Far from adhering to orthodox mores, she and her ducal family are even more unconventional than the Frobishers.

Beneath her fairy-princess exterior, Edwina possesses a spine of steel -- one that might bend, but will never break. Born to the purple -- born to rule -- she's determined to rule her life. With Declan's ring on her finger, that means forging a marriage that meets her needs as well as his.

But bare weeks into their honeymoon, Declan is required to sail to West Africa. Edwina decides she must accompany him.

A secret mission with unknown villains flings unexpected dangers into their path as Declan and Edwina discover that meeting the challenge of making an unconventional marriage work requires something they both possess -- bold and adventurous hearts.

The first voyage is one of exploration, the second one of discovery. The third journey brings maturity, while the fourth is a voyage of second chances.

Start the journey here and follow the adventure, the mystery, and the romances to the cataclysmic end.

About the book:

389 pages, 80 reviews (Average customer rating: 4.2 stars)

From bestselling author Suzanne Enoch -- a governess is tempted by the forbidden passion of a seductive earl in this blistering romance in the With This Ring series

A governess must never be alone with a man (her reputation mustn't have even a hint of scandal). She never questions her employer's commands (even when he's tempting her to forsake respectability for desire?). She must never, ever fall in love with someone above her station (especially a rake -- no matter how devastating his kisses may be) ...

If it weren't for that unfortunate incident at her last position, Alexandra Gallant wouldn't now be forced into the employ of Lucien Balfour. The sinfully attractive earl hired her to teach his young cousin, but his seductive whispers and toe-curling kisses suggest he has something far less respectable in mind ... And that will never happen. For although Lucien seems determined to teach her about pleasure, she has a few lessons to teach him about love!

The Songbird's Seduction by Connie Brockway

About the book:

318 pages, 92 reviews (Average customer rating: 4.4 stars)

Effervescent bon vivant Lucy Eastlake is a young operetta singer whose star is on the rise in Edwardian London. Though struggling to maintain her beloved great-aunts’ household, she holds fast to the belief that “things will work out.” Now, with the fiftieth anniversary of a siege her great-aunt Lavinia lived through approaching, it looks like Lucy is right, because a fortune is due to be divided among the survivors. All Lucy and her great-aunts have to do is travel to a small Pyrenees town to claim Lavinia’s share of a fabulous treasure in rubies. What could be more simple?

Professor Ptolemy Archibald Grant is the brilliant, straitlaced grandson of a British lord who also withstood the siege. When his grandfather asks him as a matter of honor to escort his old love on the journey, the about-to-be married professor agrees, not expecting Lucy to be part of the bargain. Losing the great-aunts en route, the handsome, buttoned-down professor finds himself caught up in Lucy’s quirky, bewildering, and probably illegal efforts to reunite with them, as he is drawn further and further into an inexplicable infatuation with the free-spirited singer. What could be more complicated?

But when unwilling attraction gives way to sizzling passion, both will be forced to confront the ages-old question of whether love trumps honor ... or the other way around.

Review: Forbidden in February by Suzanna Medeiros

Click here to buy the book on Amazon
Robert Milton has just experienced two losses in his life, in terrible succession: first, the Duke of Beckworth, his employer has died, and, second, he receives news that his mother has also died. The Duke's death has put Robert's entire career in limbo, and his mother's death has put his entire life in limbo. With no employer to serve, Robert travels to his mother's estate to settle her affairs and meets Isabel Durham, his mother's companion -- who, despite not having been paid or not having an employer any longer, has stayed on in the house.

It was not the best first impression: Robert had thought the worst of Isabel, believing her to be of the same occupation as his mother, and further believing that Isabel had not-so-good intentions on his mother's house.

And so begins the peeling back of the layers of Robert's carefully folded up life: the bastard son of his courtesan mother and of a titled peer -- he has resented his mother's choices his entire life. While his mother maintained a regular correspondence with him, Robert had never taken his mother's words seriously -- and I got the sense that he was very condescending towards her. His mother's death came as a surprise to Robert, but it was his own fault: his mother had written to him of her illness, but Robert chose to interpret it as his mother's dramatics. Then, when he meets Isabel, whom he vaguely remembers his mother writing about, he thinks she is the same as his mother.

It is clear that Robert Milton doesn't have a very good opinion of the world, and it is Isabel's goodness that helps him see things differently.

Isabel isn't all that she seems to be: it's obvious that Isabel is more than just a companion, and Robert needs to earn her trust before she reveals her story -- but things speed up when Isabel's past comes knocking at her door, and she needs to take drastic action if she wants to gain control of her life.

This, perhaps, is the weakest part of the story -- Isabel needs to ruin herself, and make herself unmarriageable -- and she wants Robert to help her. I already liked how Robert grudgingly admires Isabel and her integrity, and would have wanted them to settle into that comfortable companionship, which would have probably taken a longer book -- but Isabel's situation required them to move things along at a faster pace. There's attraction, but our hero and heroine are both wary of the members of the opposite gender (because of their pasts), so but the chemistry between Robert and Isabel is a bit vague.

The second book in the A Year Without a Duke series was the last book I read, and I thought it was a wonderful way to say goodbye to the characters and world created by Kate Pearce, Suzanna Medeiros, Jennifer Haymore, Sabrina Darby and Genevieve Turner -- Forbidden in February also holds the distinction for being the saddest book in the series for me. Here's why: Robert Milton and his mother never had a good relationship, and his mother has always tried to reach out to him, but he never gave her a chance. Now, at her death, so many things are revealed to Robert -- but he'll never get a chance to make it up to his mother. He'll never have the chance to talk to her about all these things that are bothering him (unlike Marcus and Caroline). The question for Robert, from the very beginning of the story is, what now? What next? And he'll have to answer that knowing that there are still so many things that are unresolved in his past -- but, the small consolation is that he'll have Isabel by his side.

Forbidden in February is the second book in the A Year Without a Duke series. To find out more about Suzanna Medeiros and her books, click below:
