Tempted by the English Marquis
The Duke of Strathmore #11
Sasha Cottman
Reviewed by Helen
There is nothing nicer than falling into a gorgeous historical romance, especially one from Sasha Cottman and part of one of my favourite series, this time Gideon Kembal Marquis of Holwel will find his match in beautiful Italian Serafina de Luca, I loved my trip to Italy and the thrill of this journey to a HEA.
Gideon meets the beautiful Serafina when she makes a trip to London with some of her family for business he spends two weeks with her but she is never forgotten, Gideon is only sorry that he did not tell her how he felt before she sailed home. But when his mother and sister Augusta sail to Italy a few months later and a scandal is about to erupt in the ton when they have not returned, Gideon is sent to Italy to bring his mother and sister home.
Serafina has never forgotten Gideon but she is the daughter of one of Italy’s noblest families and duty bound to her father’s wishes, but when her father organises a marriage to an older man Serafina is devastated. Then Gideon arrives to take his mother and sister home and Serafina’s heart is filled with joy the spark that was there eighteen months ago is still there but will they be able to stop her father and find the love and happiness they deserve?
This is a fabulous story, beautifully written a sensual story of the love two people share and what they will do to be together, I loved Gideon and Serafina both caring and loving and their passion is true and beautiful, and the other characters add so much to the story and of course the setting, just gorgeous being in Italy seeing the sights of an older Italy was thoroughly enjoyable. This is a story that I loved and would highly recommend to anyone who loves historical romance with sizzle and emotion.
My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
