Review: Exotic, erotic, and exceptionally well written

In Victorian England, family name and bloodlines are everything. Derek Jeffords, aka Lord Keating, may have a title and a barony in his future, but half of his blood comes from his Indian mother and that's a half no one in London's high society will ever accept. Not that he particularly cares. His time spent with the movers and shakers of the East India Trading company have left him jaded and disdainful of society, powerful men, and vapid women. But when a Hindi woman arrives unexpectedly with a forgotten childhood sparring partner in tow and informs him arrangements have been made for him to be wed, everything gets turned upside down.This story flowed beautifully, and transported me back in time. The attention to historical accuracy was fantastic and I really appreciated the complexity of the story. The writing is vivid and engaging, as are the characters. Of course, it wouldn't be erotica without some steam, and The Wedding Bed definately delivers on that front. The tension between Derek and Calla starts almost immediately, and the chemistry is superheated. Loved this story and can't wait to read more!
