   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Litrvixen | Jun 23, 2022 |  Reading right now. On page 166 of a 400-page version of the book. So far 1) She’s appalled that anyone would expect her to prostitute herself – even to a duke – but she agrees to the blackmail because she’s convinced she’s going to be burnt at the stake for murdering her husband. To save herself, she agrees to the duke’s evil plan although she is determined to make him pay . . . except all it takes is one kiss to have her swooning at his feet. Three or four times, so far. 2) You got to hand it to that magic wang: in literally one paragraph (made up of a total of five relatively short sentences) we go from giving her a moment to “become accustomed” to pushing through that troublesome maidenhead (complete with cries of pain – and not the good kind) to immediately and instantaneously becoming rapturous, life-changing, simultaneous orgasms for both of them. Voila! 3) One completely cartoonish, cardboard cutout of a bad guy, lusting after his father’s wife, abused horseflesh and all . . . 4) The worst homophobic nastiness I’ve seen in print in a long time: every time the wastrel cousin is on page, there’s another nasty detail piled on: dying of the pox, drunk every moment the day, green-skinned and shrunken chest, rumored to be diddling alter boys at St. Paul’s cathedral . . . Wow. Just, wow. This is c1996. (  ) klandring | Nov 30, 2020 | no reviews | add a review

From the incomparable Jane Feather, author of national bestsellers Vanity, Violet, and Valentine, comes this enthralling new romance of daring deception and forbidden passion... Juliana drew the line at becoming a harlot. She had already begun the week as a bride...and ended it as a murderess. She was sure no one would believe that she'd hit her elderly groom with a bed warmer and knocked him dead quite by accident. So she did the only thing she could--she ran. Yet now she was in no position to turn down a shocking proposition from the dangerously handsome Duke of Redmayne: that she become one man's wife and another man's mistress--his mistress. Could she play such a role? Could she live up to such a bargain? And once she had tasted the pleasures of Redmayne's bed, would she ever want anything else? No library descriptions found. |
