Lady Catherine Bourgeault has been stuck in a loveless marriage for the
past 7 years and has often felt lonely. Her husband has always been odd
but lately his behavior has been growing increasingly worrisome. He
invites men to their house for visits and demands that she is to wear
dresses that he has selected, dresses that leave no room for modesty.
She is constantly humiliated. Then Baron Bourgeault brings Adam
Stanford, Earl of Ashworth, to their home under the guise of selling his
pride pair of matching greys. Soon the Earl is wondering at what the
Baron is really after, since it seems apparent that he is not about
selling the horses. The man seems to be flaunting his wife under the
Earls nose at every chance. Soon Lady Catherine and the Earl are having
an affair. Does her husband know, did he place Catherine in the
Earls way so often on purpose, does he have motive for the way he has
treated his wife by making her dress as a trollop in front of the men he
would invite to their house? What could he possibly be up to???
Review: This book is a historical romance with a lot of twists and
turns that kept me interested throughout. I feel like the story flowed
well
without a bunch of back story or unnecessary information that isn't
pertinent to the story. Once I started reading, I didn't want to put
it down. And even though there is plenty of passion between the two
main characters, there is only a small amount of sexual display. I
really enjoyed this book and easily recommend it to everyone who likes
romance novels.

Well done review, Theresa. I enjoy a good romance that feel neccessary to explain... everything. I think I'll read Cynthia's book.
