Desperate, penniless, and shunned by his wealthy father, Darius Lindsey begins offering himself secretly to jaded society ladies. He hangs onto his last shreds of honor, but he's losing ground financially each month.
That is until the aging Lord William Longstreet makes Darius an offer he can't refuse: get the Lord's pretty young wife-of-convenience, Lady Vivian, pregnant discreetly, and he will earn enough money to never want again. But problems lie ahead when the stunning Vivian captures his heart, and his clients refuse to let him go. Can Darius untangle himself without scandal and offer himself to Vivian heart and soul?
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this one, a whore falls in love, awww true love. But they sure gotta work for it.
Right, the whore, ok escort, cos there are certain things he just wont do. Until the right price. Darius must knock up Lady Vivian, cos her nice husband pays for it. Drama!
Lady Vivian is so sweet, so kind, a bit clueless, not seeing what she is worth and I liked her. Because she is just so innocent. She will also do whatever her husband tells her (to save the title when he dies).
Darius is an escort *coughs whore*. He is kind too and he does want to do right by her. But the situation he is in, sticky. I felt sorry for him. Poor guy. Sometimes you just do too much.
This book is, well I do not want to say too much. She needs to get pregnant. She is married. This is a month only thing and then they will part. Darius has his own problems. There is an ass waiting in the shadows (isn't there always). And there will be more drama, heartache and happiness promised.
Conclusion:
A very sweet story about longing.

Hmmmm, sticky definitely sounds like a good way to describe this situation. I'm curious to see how it all turns out, though given that it's a romance, I'm sure they find some way to be together:)
ReplyDeleteHehe, well yes it's a romance so it's pretty obvious. But at least the road there is long
Deleteoh it sounds like a cute book
ReplyDeleteIt was :D
DeleteI just started the book this morning. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will like it too
DeleteI feel bad the girl....being forced to marry the old man and then being made to have relations with a male escort JUST to get pregnant? I would be PISSED!
ReplyDeleteNo no, it's all good! The old guy saved her from being more or less sold off by her creepy step dad. He is a nice guy, and she does want a kid too
DeleteOkay....if you say so. I'm still weary of the old man.
DeleteOh...dirty!!!
ReplyDelete*waves weakly*
ReplyDelete*waves weakly back*
DeleteThis definitely sounds like a rough situation, but glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun ;)
DeleteLOL this one is so you Blodeuedd!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making laugh this afternoon and bringing this one to my attention :)
Haha, you are most welcome :D
DeleteSounds a little odd, but I saw your resonse to Carole Rae so maybe it's okay after all.
ReplyDeleteIt was odd, but yes do need to know all the details...cos there is a lot going on
Delete*giggles* well this sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteTotally giggle worthy
DeleteLOL! Oh a man whore! I would read it just for that twist. However, love the review. Made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI did say whore a lot, ok maybe just 2 times ;)
DeleteBut what can I say, if you let someone touch your junk for money then.. ;)
If Vivian and Darius are supposed to be together then I'm wondering what happens to the husband. I have a few thoughts but I guess I will have to read this to find out.
ReplyDeleteSpoilers my dear, spoilers ;) But in the end it's obvious and the book takes place during a year or so
DeleteI love how you just put it all out there! I've read this author once but didn't really care for it but hey, you never know right?
ReplyDeleteI would say....yeah it's better than the Windham books, because there was just something about the whole manwhore thing
DeleteOh sounds like...a lot of drama. But could be cute for them in love. :)
ReplyDeleteDrama oh yes, but good drama ;)
DeleteThis sounds really good. Love the cover!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice :)
DeleteLOL! I'm sold. *heads to Amazon*
ReplyDelete<3,

Hihi *giggles*
DeleteI am so not into whores, historical romance or not...but it seems you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I can't say i am into them either
DeleteAt first I didn't think this was for me but your review made me LOL so I may try it.
ReplyDeleteHihi, I am glad it made you lol
DeleteI agree with Anachronist (shocking, I know) but I also don't care for books with whores in them, male or female. And yes, I know most rakes are some kind of manwhores without the payment issues.
ReplyDeleteBut I am really glad you liked this one Blodeuedd, and I enjoyed reading your review.
But he does have a good excuse, not like the rakes who just do it all for fun.
DeleteI am with Staci, I have tried this author before and it was meh. But after reading your review I kinda want to give this one a try. Good enough for a light afternoon of reading right?
ReplyDeleteFor a light afternoon reading it does fit the bill :
DeleteI love when a whore falls in love! Only a man would decipher between whore and escort when he is the one in that position though LOL :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, totally ;) He have to keep some dignity I guess
Deletesounds good, awful cover :)
ReplyDeleteYeah not the best
