Appartient à la sérieSeduction [Brighton] (book 3)
With her stunning beauty and impeccable reputation, Lady Eleanor Beckett is a society darling to emulate. But Eleanor's seemingly perfect life is marred by a dark secret. Determined to know happiness and passion just once, she travels to the infamous Lavender Hills Estate, a brothel that caters to women. There, she meets strikingly handsome and completely inappropriate James McKinnon, a man who may be just what she needs to melt the ice surrounding her broken heart. Affable and handsome, popular escort James found the path out of crippling poverty through Lavender Hills, and supports his mother and sister with the money he makes from his work. He's never cared for a client before--caring interferes with business--but finds himself falling for Eleanor. Eleanor and James can't extinguish the passion they've ignited--but society would never accept a relationship between a whore and a lady. Will their forbidden love and dark pasts destroy everything they care about--including each other? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The romance in this book is to die for. Two very damaged souls who find comfort in each other and heal at the same time. I ask you, what’s not to love?! Any romance lover worth their salt will love this book for that element alone. James and Eleanor are a beautiful couple and balance each other out so well. The added twist that it’s the guy and not the girl who’s the prostitute is a nice element. But Lori’s ability to pack this much emotion into the pages would make this book worth reading despite that unique twist.
I also liked that the author wasn't afraid to draw in some pretty heavy subject matter to off balance some of the gentle sweet romance, all the while giving that romance some more depth. Domestic violence, slavery, betrayal, and rape all play a very tragic part to the story and makes the reader think about what Victorian morality is really all about. The author draws in all these bleak circumstances to set her romance against, and I have to admit that she’s able to balance the horrific and the romantic very well.
What results is a beautifully historical romance that I enjoyed immensely. The emotions are beautiful, the characters are ones I can pull for, and the author isn’t afraid to write about the dark as well as the light. To me, folks, this is what a historical romance should be. Highly, highly recommended! (
