Lydia's Review
I have a confession to make *whispers* I love historical novels. Now that that's out there, I can tell you how much I love this series.
Wrath... that's what Julian Cynfell was and boy was that an accurate description. Have you ever wanted to teach the hero of a book some serious manners? I sure did... even though he was sexy and brooding (wink wink).
I automatically fell in love with Viola... she had no filter and didn't play games. Watching Julian fighting his attraction and falling in love with Viola made for a good book with a great storyline.
The chemistry was hot, the writing was awesome, and you know how much I love a HEA. My TBR is huge, but I am bumping this series to the top!

Lydia's Review
I really am hooked on this series... these brothers. Dante thinks he has given Josephine everything he can to keep her happy. Ha! He obviously didn't realize she was tired of being his mistress and wanted to be his wife. He has some commitment issues, and of course it took her walking out to wake him up and make him realize how much he needs her. I will give him this much... he tries very hard to get her back... even if he is doing it for the wrong reason.
I loved Josephine... she wanted more and was tired of waiting on him to give it to her. I love a strong heroine that stays true to herself... and it helped that her career as a painter was really taking off.
Samantha gave us everything in this book... a good storyline that kept me turning the pages and chemistry between Dante and Josephine. I read this in one sitting and was surprised it wasn't as long as I thought it would be, but the author made it all work out.

Lydia's Review
Basically he was a gambler in serious debt and she was a duchess with a very irresistible offer... what they didn't anticipate was falling in love with each other.
I love a independent woman but there were times I wanted to smack the heroine with the book... she wouldn't let her guard down any and it was frustrating. He had a heart of gold and I loved him for it... how could you not love a man that worshipped your body and wanted to love and take care of you (wink wink)?
When things started to get deeper in the story, they find out what they really mean to each other and yay, they get a HEA... I'm a sucker for a good love story with a HEA. On top of that this book was really good and I recommend it to all you historical lovers out there!

EXCERPT
Sinful Liaisons
Oxfordshire, 1897
A breeze whistled across his nether regions. Pierce grimaced. It could have been worse, he supposed. At least the day was mild with no sign of rain. He peered into the distance. Only the deeply grooved road cutting its path through the gentle hills hinted at civilisation. He grimaced again. Where the bloody hell was he?
He curled a fist and began trudging along the grass at the side of the road. Stones pricked his bare feet.
“Bloody Goddamn it.”
Pierce was going to kill Giles if he lived through this. He hadn’t intended to visit their favourite gambling den, but Giles just had to talk him into it. Nor had he meant to get utterly foxed. He hardly remembered wagering everything including his clothes. As for how he’d ended up naked on the roadside...
“Bloody Goddamn it all to hell.”
One final wager...He had vague recollections. Something to do with a race? Damnation, if only his head wasn’t so fuzzy. But even then, why had Giles left him to sleep it off in a field—naked?
The rumble of a carriage made him stiffen. He wouldn’t get far with his bare feet. A form of transport would be useful indeed. But who would give a naked man a ride? Pierce shrugged to himself and turned, cupping one hand over himself to preserve what little modesty he had left and using the other to gain the driver’s attention.
The black, glossy carriage rumbled closer, led by two horses. He saw the driver glance his way then look again before turning his head away. Dirt spattered his legs making him jump back as it rolled past.
“Rot in hell then,” he muttered half-heartedly and resisted the urge to scuff his bare foot across the ground.
A command from the driver reached his ears and he held his breath as the horses came to a halt. The vehicle stopped. Both hands over the family jewels, Pierce waited. The door swung open.
“Thank you,” he uttered, lifting his gaze to the heavens, and hurried toward the carriage. He cursed under his breath when several more rocks jabbed the soles of his feet.
Trying to look as noble as one could when naked, he paused in front of the open door. There, in the dark confines of the vehicle and set against plush royal blue seats, an elegant redhead skimmed her gaze up and down his body. Even in the gloom of the carriage, he saw an eyebrow rise. Then he noted the curve of her lips.
Pierce stared back. He allowed his own gaze to travel over her, observing the generous rise of her breasts against a low cut bodice and the slender waist that led to hips that were emphasised by a bustle. Hair coiled high, it gave him a fine view of the gems on her neck and ears. From the delicate porcelain skin to the emeralds casting a faint green hew across it, everything about this woman told him of her importance.
And her attractiveness. He had to force his gaze from her breasts or else both hands wouldn’t conceal anything.
“Get in.”
