A dutiful duke and a beautiful courtesan – how will they make it work?

Dare to Love a Duke by Eva Leigh

March 23, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Thomas Powell has just become the Duke of Northfield and has to set aside his previously rakish ways to protect his father’s legacy and ensure a good future for his younger sister. She’s very much in love with the son of one of their father’s most trusted allies in Parliament, who clearly expects Thomas to continue supporting him, whether Thomas actually agrees with his views or not. Torn between duty and his own conscience, Thomas is struggling. The one place he feels at ease, the […]

The smuggler and the war hero – a marriage of convenience

June 7, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

Christopher “Kit” Ellingsworth was given an Earldom for his bravery during the Napoleonic wars. It doesn’t really bring in any money, though, so Kit is pretty much penniless and mounting up debts living the life of a libertine upon his return to London, everything to forget his time in battle. Hence he is surprised when he is told his mentor wishes to leave him a substantial fortune…as long as he finds a wife within the next month. It doesn’t leave him very much time to […]

The Duke & The Con Artist

July 11, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

I’d been looking forward to reading this book ever since finishing “The Wicked Quills of London” series – sadly, the anticipation didn’t live up to the reality.  Oh, it was well written and steamy, but I just didn’t feel the love for this one somehow.  The main premise is based on a one night encounter two years previous for our couple, with the heroine disappearing at dawn before the hero awoke.  Since that time, Alexander Lewis, Duke of Greyland, hasn’t been able to get her […]

Earls and Editors

February 2, 2017 by Rachie3879 1 Comment

For a lighthearted read, I picked up Eva Leigh’s Forever Your Earl when it was a Kindle Deal of the Day not too long ago. I love trying out new authors for super cheap. Earl tells the story of Daniel, the rakish and handsome young Earl of Ashford and his unusual decision to request the editor of a scandal sheet to follow him about town on his escapades to cover his interesting and gossip-worthy activities. Little does he know that E. Hawke of “The Hawk’s Eye” is […]

The Vicar and the Erotica Writer

May 6, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

Lady Sarah Frampton may be the daughter of a duke with a sizable dowry, but she’s known as the Watching Wallflower and is on her way to be firmly on the shelf. No one knows that behind her impeccable manners, the quiet and ever-observant Lady Sarah is in fact the author of a series of highly successful erotic novels. As The Lady of Dubious Quality, the virginal Lady Sarah uses the knowledge she’s acquired from illicit French novels to write out all her sexual fantasies […]
