This is an interesting departure for Carlyle. I would categorize it as light erotica. LC is a sophisticated and talented author and, although I didn't expect the graphic nature, I enjoyed the book. The sizzle scenes were not gratuitous, but necessary to convey the plot she developed. Ms. Carlyle may lose some readers because of her decision to dip her toe into this genre, but she will gain other readers due to her mild exploration of erotica. Some of us who really enjoy her writing will continue to buy her books expecting to enjoy her fabulous writing skill in whatever form she choses.

Wonderful! This is a winning combination of compelling plot with twists and turns, romance between a couple I was instantly drawn to, and a healthy dosage of erotica. Carlyle has always been a favorite of mine, but this time she exceeded my expectations. I hope Carlyle has more up her sleeve like this one! Highly recommended at 4.5 stars.

I am a big fan of Liz Carlyle but I must say this book was a bit of a disappointment. You get the impression that she read Fifty Shades of Grey & decided to adapt elements (sex scenes) to a historical format. I found myself flipping past them to get back to the story which was OK but a little trite.
