"IRRESISTIBLE SEDUCTION ONLY LEADS TO..."War had scarred the Earl of Ashby's face...and perhaps his soul. Before being wounded in the Napoleonic war and shunning society, the dashing lord had been a notorious rake. Now Isabel Aubrey, a proper lady, dares to approach the masked, reclusive nobleman for a large donation to a worthy charity--and decides she must save him from his self-loathing. She begins to flirt. He responds. She invites him to a masquerade ball. He accepts and dazzles her with a kiss.
"THE MOST SCANDALOUS PASSION...
"But Isabel already has a fiance and despite her attraction to the earl she knows she must reject him. Yet no force on earth is greater than the passion that leads her into his bed; nothing she has ever experienced is more exciting and erotic. Now he asks her to stay with him although it will mean her ruin. Isabel must not say yes--and the smitten earl cannot let her say no. To win her body and her heart, he initiates an outrageous scheme that only a rake would devise--and no woman can resist."
I'm going to admit to something...I only picked this book up because I was waiting for Celeste Bradley's book to come in from another library and was actually reluctant to start reading a book that was only meant to be a "filler". In the end, I truly fell in love with this book.
I know that I saw this a lot, but this book was fantastic! It made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion and the passion was some of the best written that I have ever had a pleasure to read. It made me smile, grit my teeth in aggravation, and sigh with longing for a happy ending. The characters were undeniably well-written and their stories were so gut-wrenching...so heart-throbbingly real that I felt almost as if I had known the characters or was actually watching the book on a screen. The images were powerful and the angst and longing were so deep that it was impossible to find any flaws. I will CERTAINLY look for more of Sharon's work!
