Brazen

I enjoyed this book. I agree with someone that I got a little tire of hearing about the Dutch Cup and prevent pregnancy in this day and age. But it had plenty of sizzling sex and erotica. I will re-read it again.

Kit will make you hot!

Brazen has to be my favorite Susan Johnson book to date. I've only read the Braddock-Black series and A Touch of Sin, and Pasha was my favorite until Kit came along! What a man! Not sappy and sweet, but passionate and demanding. When Kit realizes his feelings run deeper than purely carnal pleasures, he would rather live without Angela than share her with an abusive husband. He is relentless in his pursuit of her. Their emotions and passionate encounters are splendidly displayed for the readers perusal. Angela is a mature woman and is without the simpering lines of a weak virgin. She knows what she wants and his name is Kit. Likewise, Kit is a man who is accustomed to getting what he wants and having Angela on his terms is top on his list. They both give as good as they get! Brazen is one spicy hot read!

Steamiest novel ever! For grown ups only!

While I was reading this book, I kept telling my boyfriend that this is the book that I've been looking for. It is written for an EXPERIENCED ADULT. Unlike this book, most of the books I've read before Susan Johnson were about virgins w/strange unrecognized feelings for a man/hero who wears a scowl on his face for the first 3/4 of the book. There is usually only one bedroom scene and the man/hero only declares his love for the woman once and that is at the end of the book. This book is far different from that tired formula. First of all, Angela is 35 and has 2 children. Being so used to the "virgin" formula, I was a little weary at first but needless to say, I have been born-again! I started this book one night at 6pm and stayed up past my 11pm bed time & ended up staying up til 4am! I literally could not put this book down. I finished it the next day (no chores got done!)and then started reading the book over again! I've NEVER had the slightest urge before to re-read a remance novel! I would not change one written word of this novel. That's how good it is. It definitely encourages your libido and my boyfriend was VERY greatful to Susan Johnson for the mood it put me in. He is now her biggest fan as am I.

Great Romance, Great History, Wonderful Characters!

I can't say I've read much Susan Johnson. I'm enough of a romantic that I like the sex to happen after the characters have gotten to know more than each others' names. However, with this book, I've joined Susan Johnson's fans.The hero, Kit Braddock (I do think his having a harem stretched the bounds of credulity, but it's a romance novel), is one of the most appealing male characters I've run across. He's physically splendid (of course), but also displays a powerful magnetism as well as great sensitivity. I liked that Angela, the heroine, was older than Kit and had a varied sexual history. It doesn't seem fair that the guys in romance novels are the only ones sowing wild oats. Both these people are so charismatic that reading about them consumed my weekend. The footnotes were fascinating. I like that Johnson doesn't subscribe to the stereotype that romance readers are airheads. I look forward to Johnson's next book. However, I don't look forward to the use of the f-word during the love scenes. But you don't read Susan Johnson for softly romantic men and women.

A Feast For The Senses

The book was superb!! ... It satisfies heart and mind. Susan Johnson's ability to blend strong, but believable characters (ones who make some tough choices!!!), flammable sex (the beginning of this book is hot...a glimpse of the ensuing forest fire between the main characters), and a plot driven by hardcore history (the book comes complete with a tantalizing set of footnotes) sent me in search of all of her other novels.I have not been disappointed yet. If she taught history...everyone would be an ace.Enjoy the feast.
