Enchanted by Your Kisses

By Pamela Britton

His Plan Was Seduction... Proud and beautiful Lady Ariel D'Archer bravely bears the cruel disdain of society -- all the while wondering if her sullied reputation will prevent love from ever entering her heart again. But then she meets Nathan Trevain, whose breathtaking gaze enflames her passion and whose softest touch sets her heated blood racing. This is a man unwilling to take "no" for an answer -- nor is Ariel certain she could deny him anything. But he is also a man who harbors a dangerous secret -- one that places Ariel in grave danger once she uncovers it. His Destiny Was Surrender The secretive future Duke of Davenport has his own hidden reasons for wanting to help the exquisite fallen rose restore her good name -- and for taking her prisoner once she discovers his true identity. For his lovely captive holds the key to the fate of his lost brother. And it will take every ounce of Trevain's fabled seductive powers to win her help. But the closer he holds her -- the deeper he kisses her -- the more completely the lady Ariel takes possession of his soul. Will she be the one to seduce him with true love -- the sweetest, most succulent magic of all?

a marvelous book

My Wicked Ways meets Ransom of Red Chief? Seriously! This is my first Pamela Britton book. I understand there were some problems in the productions of the novel. It was written as a paranormal, but then Ms. Britton was forced to change it into a straight historical. I cannot imagine the upset that caused a relatively new writer, so that it came out this charming is quite amazing! And it is charming! Oh, there is a sign here or there saying new author - but then, every author is a new author at one point, are they not? I found myself pulled by the characters. They are well drawn and follow logical, motivations. They captivated this reader.Ariel, especially, made me feel for her. A very naive young woman, unloved by her father, growing up with no brothers or sisters, she didn't have the raising to know how to act with people, what deceivers they can be. Her mother was a gypsy who died in childbirth, her father an Earl - a cold, distant man - and that gypsy taint already marks Ariel in the Ton's eyes. This sets poor Ariel up to be an easy mark to be seduced by a scoundrel who promises her something she has never known ¯ love. When they're caught in a compromising position, she's ruined, teaching a young Ariel men are not to be trusted. Two years later, she returns to London - pushed by her cousin, Phoebe. Now married, Phoebe hopes the years have made London forget Ariel's scandal. But they have not. It's heartbreaking for the reader to see Ariel's sense of always being on the outside. It makes her easy prey when Nathan Trevain, the future Duke of Davenport tries to befriend her. He proposes they pretend they're engaged. However, the reader knows Trevain is setting out to use Ariel. His reasons for using Ariel are with good purpose. He is not a cad, but is out to save someone close to him. Don't you just love it when the dark deadly alpha male is caught in his own trap?Trevain's plans to use Ariel gets out of hand when he's forced to kidnap her. Ariel, a wee bit fed up with people using her, is not about to make it easy on the handsome man. The kidnapping quickly blows up in his face, with spunky Ariel handling her situation with a determination that has to win your heart.What strikes me most about Britton is her gentle humor. In one instance, when Ariel escapes Nathan, falls into a pond, and nearly drowns, instead of total panic one might expect it's written with a deft handling. I won't spoil it ¯ but it's surprisingly original. Overall, it shows Britton has a style that should improve, as she grows surer of her craft, promising more novels that are delightful for readers.

A Must Read!

They Say a master story teller captures the audiance in the first moments of the story. I do believe that is exactly what Pamela Britton did in this dramatic and engaging book of Enchanted by Your kiss. I was flung back in time with brilliant characters and a deviously, wicked plot that held you in a trance making you turn the pages wanting to know Trevains secret. I could not put the book down! I read it in one night. Ariel, being shunned from society stood strong and stubborn given Mr. striking eyes and demanding presence, "Nathan Trevain" a run for his money. I loved it! Nothing like two bull headed characters to get the passion running. Oh! and let us not forget the extremely humorous situations these two would get in. My favorite part was when Ariel ran into the tree blind folded. You got to love it! The book was full of subsequint action and thrills that would make your head spin. I laughed, I hurt, and reached out with these characters as emotion and adventure swirled in an illuminating brew. It is a must read! Pamela babe! You have yourself a new follower. I am excited to read more of your books. On a more personal note I think Heidenkind needs to switch to decaf and lighten up a bit. It's a story with conflicting characters of interest. We are not experiancing Mr. Rodgers here.

A book I just couldn't put down!

I found Enchanted By Your Kisses to be a book that had everything you could want in a historical romance. It had intrigue, suspense, a wonderful story of love winning over all the odds, and a comedy of errors that happened to the heroine (Lady Ariel D'Archer). Nathan Trevain (the hero) was the handsomely dark haired stranger, a foreigner (American), which Lady Ariel doubts from the beginning. It was hilarious when Ariel thought she was taking control of the situation and realizes things weren't working out like she planned. Ariel does turn things around and helps Nathan in his quest. This is the first book I have read of Ms.Britton, but it won't be the last!

A Fun Romp and Easy Read

The characters presented are endearing with their easy banter and the thread of humor throughout the book make this one an wonderful read. The storyline moves along well with an enjoyable heroine, capable of speaking her mind and a hero you can't help but love.

A great story with great characters

In 1781 England, Lady Ariel D'Archer believes she loves her Archie, who has confessed a hundred times over that he loves her too. Caught in bed together by her father, Ariel's lover Lord Archibald Worth proves he will not love her tomorrow by admitting he will marry Lady Mary Carew in a month. Rumors about Archie ruining Ariel spread throughout the Ton, leaving her a pariah among family and friends. Her father refuses to speak to her ever again. Two years later, Nathan Trevain seeks information about his missing brother. He feels Ariel can be of help, but decides to hide his identity as the heir to the Dukedom of Davenport. Soon Ariel ignores her vow never to give away her heart as she falls in love, but wonders if she is his lasting treasure or a moment's pleasure and, by the way, where is his sibling? ENCHANTED BY YOUR KISSES is an action-packed Georgian romance that never slows down until the tale is finished. The story line moves forward due to the antics of the lead couple. Ariel will gain reader empathy as she suffers the wrath of the hypocritical aristocracy for her one indiscretion while her lover receives pats on the back for scoring. Nathan knows his skills and willingly uses them, but in Ariel he meets his toughest adversary, love. In just a few years, Pamela Britton has written novels like this one and MY FALLEN ANGEL that excites sub-genre fans with their originality and powerful cast.Harriet Klausner
