Lucinda is ok with her simple life until she has to hatch a scheme to kidnap the Duke. The Duke is quite happy with his life; he isn't married, has no children and likes loose women. Once he figures out the reason for his abduction, begin kidnapped is not bad but a pleasure for him.THOUGHTSThis is an extremely erotic historical read that I enjoyed. The acts and language are very explicit, so if you're a junkie for erotica then this would be a perfect read for you. Some moments had a tiny bit of Dom/sub kinky moments, nothing bad. It is more of a do as I say, I'm in control thing, but enjoyable. What I loved about this book and what it reminds me of, is Prisoner of my Desire by Johanna Lindsey/ the Movie Indecent Proposal. When you put those two together, it was an entertaining read. Though it's a novella with continuous hot sex, the author was still able to give us a decent storyline to read about that was ok, most of the characters were enjoyable to read. I found the plot between The Earl, Lucinda's husband, and herself to be interesting but a little unsure of how I felt about it. I thought this would be a major turn off but personally, for me it worked. For readers thinking of purchasing the book, if you don't mind that she is a married woman then you won't mind the read. I know to some the thought of her being married to someone else does not seem romantic, but it worked in this storyline.What I didn't really care for, is that you read what Lucinda needed to do with Lucien, but why took some time for me. In addition, the ending was ok, it felt more of a quickie ending with the happily ever after moment. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the read.Story: FAIRIntimacy: AMAZINGLY GOOD & (D.R.I.P) = Don't Read In PublicEnjoyment: GOODEbook length: 2245
