Lord Robert Darleston ends up at Field House in an effort to escape the rumors his vile harpy of a wife, Lucy, is spreading about him in London. Little did he know that on the country estate he would cross paths with the one man he always loved even after he'd lost him.Not only is Lyle Langley overjoyed to see his former lover, he's more than willing to take up where they left off nine years previous. However, after everything that Robert has been through, he doesn't want to cause problems or scandal for Lyle or his wife Emma. Besides, Robert isn't just enamored with Lyle. While he's had men as well as women for lovers, Emma draws him like no other woman has. When Lyle informs him that Emma knows of his sexual orientation and makes no protest and then they catch her watching them during a tryst, Robert thinks that maybe he just might have found the long term relationship he's been searching for. If he plays his cards right they could be a happy threesome. If he doesn't...well, harpy Lucy will be the least of his worries.Love, love, love this story! I've always enjoyed historical romance, but when you add erotica to a time that is seen as so stiff and proper it just adds to the enjoyment of the story. Well-written with well-developed characters the emotions of Robert, Emma and Lyle flow off the page. Yes, the erotica makes for some steamy reading, but the emotions of the trio are what make it stick with me long after I've finished it.Not one to normally read a book in the middle of a series, the blurb for this story grabbed my attention and I decided to take a risk. I'm happy to say that I had no feeling that I missed anything that came in previous books. This book, for me, is a standalone though after reading it I do want to go back and see what the other stories are about since this one was sooooooo good, delicious decadence that pulls at the heart.*Book source ~ Many thanks to Mischief and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy.
