“SPURRING A MAD DESIRE“Julia Westfall was being forced into marriage—with her fiercest rival on the hunt field. True, Henry Pelham was the man to whom she’d lost her heart, and he was still her secret dream. But what the widowed marquis proposed was hardly suitable—a loveless union with no children. A woman who raced her own stallions for the thrill and challenge of it could hardly be expected to rein in her passion.
“Her new husband saw his dotty aunt, loopy uncle, and willful daughter as evidence that madness ran in his family, as proof that siring more offspring would be irresponsible. But Julia would show that the craziest thing he could do was spurn her advances. For her most exciting and dashing competitor on horseback would soon be her most potent and powerful match in the bedroom.”
This was the first book by Fiona Carr that I’ve had an opportunity to read. I must say that I was impressed. The book started out interestingly enough, slowed only a little bit (though I might have to attribute that to the fact that I’m on a vacation with my two little cousins who demand a lot of attention), then really picked up pace. I LOVED the characters and the plot was fascinating. This was genuinely a fun read! I caught myself smiling on more than one occasion.
In other words, I really enjoyed it. Fiona Carr is a very talented author and I will try to get my hands on her other book as soon as possible!
