Lord Drake Boscastle is just about to start an affair with (in)famous courtesan Mirabella, he instead decides to pursue plump lady's companion Eloise. Fun and with some genuinely humorous moments, though the characters could have had a touch more depth. (

Another Boscastle fiasco. Asking a governess to be his mistress? Ho-hum. The governess is old friends with his previous courtesan? Hmmm. The governess and the courtesan humiliated an old beau they had in common, who is now blackmailing and assaulting said governess? You almost hooked me.

The scenes between Drake and Eloise are top-notch, the rest of the book is only par. (

Award-winning author Jillian Hunter gives us another irresistible story teeming with seduction, scandal, and secrets.

Lord Drake Boscastle has everything–smoldering good looks, extreme wealth, and devilish charms. Everything, that is, except true happiness. Hoping to satisfy his growing discontent, he is set to meet one of the most celebrated courtesans in England for a heated rendezvous. But on the scheduled night of pleasure, Lord Drake’s world is turned upside down by Eloise Goodwin, a wholesome, spirited governess with voluptuous curves and a beguiling wit. Even with an experienced seductress willing to satisfy his every need, Lord Drake cannot forget his encounter with Eloise.

Although swept off her feet by the mysteriously handsome rake, Eloise has more pressing matters to address. Her rebellious young client has escaped into the night with a local rogue and is nowhere to be found. Stepping in to assist, Lord Drake must try to resist his desire to indulge the longing passion he feels for Eloise. But once a scoundrel, always a scoundrel . . . or has the untamable Lord Drake at last been tamed?
