Best book yet for Loretta Chase! I kept finding myself checking the cover to make certain she was the author. That's not to say she doesn't tell a good story, but this one really stands out as exceptional and riveting.

I don't think I can bear to part with this one and may have to add a space for it on the ol' Keeper Shelf.

This one is going on my Keeper Shelf with only about 30 other books. (That's probably impressive only if I admit that I read more than 200 books per year.)

When determining if a book is a "keeper" or not, I don't just want an "escape" (since every book should provide that to one extent or another). Rather, I take note of my EMOTIONS as I read. Another indicator is that feeling of... "I can't wait to read the next page, chapter, etc but at the same time, I don't want it to end."

This story had me chuckling from the very beginning. I was absolutely charmed by Marcelline's style, wit and fearlessness. She creatively brazened her way through sticky situations that would have intimidated most others. No wonder the duke was dazzled! Speaking of the duke, I laughed out loud when Ms Chase described his "ducal phallis." Waahaha!!

Of course, I immediately fell in love with Lucie as well as Leonie and Sophia. Since this series is titled "Dressmakers" I assume that each of the sisters will get her own story and HEA. Wow, I am so anxious to get the info on the next book!

I loved this wonderful story and will enjoy reading again and again.

I loved this book! "Lord of Scoundrels" is one of my favorite books, and by far my favorite Loretta Chase historical, and Silk is for Seduction comes in a very close second. While the story is probably not terribly accurate in terms of how these characters met, interacted, and ultimately married, it mattered little as the discourse was beautifully written, the characters were compelling and believable, and it was FUN. That's all the really matters!

Like all Loretta Chase books,this one is a real page turner. I liked the characters and how the story commenced.

It seems as though people really love this book, or they don't like it at all. I am definitely in the latter group. I could not get into the story at all. Neither of the main characters were very likable to me. The hero seemed like a sleazy jerk, and the heroine was just plain annoying. They were both so self-centered that I could not identify with either of them. I tried to stick with it but I only managed about a quarter of the book before I gave up. I usually try to stick with a book because I feel like it's a waste of money if I don't. This is one of the rare times I couldn't do it.
