A Breach of Promise by Victoria Vane is a short but very sexy historical romance. Following a six year engagement with no wedding in sight, Lydia Trent's attempt to break off her engagement to Marcus Russell is met with surprising results.A Breach of Promise is a well-written novella with excellent character development. Lydia Trent is a delightful young woman who wants more than an arranged marriage of convenience to an indifferent husband. Marcus Russell is shocked to discover his meek and biddable fiancée is actually a well-educated woman who is his equal in every way. Much to his dismay, Marcus discovers it is going to take more than charm and sexual compatibility to convince Lydia to marry him.A Breach of Promise is a romance with a great deal of substance. The plot is marvelously executed and the storyline is fresh and original. The historical details add to the story's authenticity and enjoyment. The sexual chemistry between Marcus and Lydia is explosive and their sex scenes are exquisitely decadent and sensual.Victoria Vane quickly engages her readers in A Breach of Promise with likable characters, witty dialogue and deliciously steamy sex scenes. An entertaining epilogue beautifully wraps up Marcus and Lydia's charming love story.Definitely a recommended read for fans of historical erotic romance.
