Publisher Description
An outrageous free spirit meets her match in an introvert with a secret leather business
Raised as a free spirit, Beth Jenkins refuses to submit to the Ton’s rigid rules. She has fun where she wants, with whomever she wishes. By day, she excels at matching people’s needs with those who can provide them. That talent and her cousin, Lady Althea Egerton, are the only barriers standing between her and complete ostracization.
When her cousin requires an investor for her business, Beth gains them an entrée to a house party hosted by a wealthy earl, where she encounters Robert Orford. The intimate leather apparel and toys of pleasure he creates entice Beth as much as the man himself, and she is determined to pursue him.
As the stocky second son of an earl, Robert was bullied as a child and hates being in the public eye. Beth’s behavior is far too outrageous for his tastes. If only she didn’t have the curvy figure he most admires, perfect for testing his leather pieces.
But Beth refuses to be tamed, so if she can’t convince him to care less about society’s disapproval, they could be forced to walk away from the perfect partnership for leather and love.
Customer Reviews
“Men never want a long-term relationship with me.”
This is the fourth and final book in the School of Enlightenment series, the fifth if you count Roslynn’s book, and I have to say, I am very sad to see it end. I have enjoyed every single one of the books and wish Maggie would continue on. These books are nothing like traditional regency romances and they are wonderful. The heroines are all fantastic and the heroes are everything I could hope for. I honestly can’t pick out my favorite, I love them all!
Here we finally have Beth’s story. Beth is very different from the other heroines in the series and we’ve seen a lot of her before. She’s so cheerful and fun, she’s like exactly who I would want for a bff! Robert is also very different from the other heroes. As a matter of fact, he’s unlike an regency hero I’ve ever encountered. He’s not titled, although he is wealthy, he’s very introverted and except for with sex he has no real self-confidence at all. He thinks he’s unattractive and doesn’t appeal to women outside the bedroom. I thought he and Beth were absolutely ideal for each other. They had amazing chemistry together and enjoyed being with each other. Beth really helped Robert be more outgoing and less stodgy and Robert helped calm Beth and kept he in line. They brought out the best in each other and saw the best in one another. It was truly lovely to see.
This book, Beth’s story, and book three, Althea’s take place concurrently and they both are after the other books in the series. You can easily read this first but it is filled with spoilers for the other books so if you plan to read them all, save this for last. One last warning, these books are adult books with lots of open door scenes and spankings and this specific book also includes bondage. Don’t get it if this is something you find offensive and then leave a bad review because of it. There are tons of regency romances out there that aren’t as spicy if this isn’t what you like.
