This novella is hot, with a lot of steamy love scenes, and has a great story to boot!  The book is set in London, 1855, during the time of the Crimean War.  Kate is a young nurse with two useless, irresponsible, older brothers.  I don't usually read novels set in England during this time period.  Most of the books I read that are set in the 1850's and later, are written in the wild west of America, with sexy cowboy heroes who say things like darlin', ma'am, and much obliged.  LOL.In any event, Kate is a nurse.  She is forced to assist a Doctor with his private patient, the hero, in order to help her worthless brother pay off yet another gambling debt.  In order to fulfill this obligation, Kate is forced to give up a delightful, working holiday in Paris, that she was fervently looking forward to.  There is an instant attraction between James and Kate.The sexual tension between the two is electric, and the love scenes are hot.  James is the youngest son of a Viscount.  It's never really clear what Kate's station is, (though you can tell she's not a member of the aristocracy) but the fact that she is impoverished makes her, in her mind, an ineligible parti for James.  I enjoyed the story the author created around these two characters.This erotic novella is one of the few that I've read that actually has a storyline to go with the sex scenes.  The book is well written and has the feel of one that's been professionally edited....not a common occurrence among e-books.  Furthermore, James and Kate's characters are fully developed, while secondary catchers are more two dimensional.I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical romance novella with a liberal dose of sizzle.
