Reviewed by Helen
Another sizzling sensual story in Anna Campbell’s newest series and they just get better, this time we meet up with Toby Sutton, Earl of Renfrew and Lady Viola Frain as the rake and the wallflower find their way to a beautiful HEA.
Toby Sutton is a terrible rake, settling down is not on the cards for him, be merry and have fun is his way, but when he is doing his best to escape a situation he finds himself literally falling into the lap of the very quiet Viola Frain, the spark is instant for Toby, but she is so different from the woman he usually clicks with, but there is no getting Viola out of his mind.
Viola is the third daughter, the bookish one who is very happy to let her sisters take the spotlight but when Lord Renfrew decides that she is beautiful and very special this has Viola doing things that she would never do, meeting up at a couple of balls and a meeting in Hyde Park are so out of the ordinary but when he asks for a kiss Viola is lost.
When scandal breaks Viola finds herself married to Toby in a hurry and they make their way to his ancestral home Brazey Castle and here Viola learns the true meaning of sensual desire and the thrill of it all, but she also discovers the dark secrets that has made Toby who he is today.
This beautifully written and emotional story is a must read, I loved Toby and Viola, Toby needed someone and that could only be Viola she was perfect to make him see what true love was and he was just the person to show Viola the sensual delights of being married, it really is more than kissing. To see the light shine through at Brazey Castle was delightful, I loved this one from start to finish and can’t highly recommend it enough, another keeper Anna Campbell, you made me smile big time with this one.
