GREAT READ!!!!

I loved this story so much. It was very romantic and I kept it in my personal library.One of Susan Johnson's best. Get it if your a romance lover.

Not quite a 5 but still a solid read.

There are some Susan Johnson books that I found absolutely amazing for their sexuality and intense plot. This one was neither of those for depth. Julias was a bit too aloof for me. I do not mind dark mysterious men that are rakes and seem to have plenty of reasons for thier troubled ways. Julius seemed to have a wonderful family and a perfect life so he just came off a bit spoiled to me. There is no question that Elspith is ripe for a man like this. who would not be marrying such a horrible older man as Lord Grafton. He just gave me chills. For Elspith to find some emotional solice with Julius was wonderful and truly captured my heart. She seemed like a woman that deserved happiness and finally Julius came up to snuff for her. But for me there was just a tiny bit missing from his side and if I was a betting person I would not say they would be totally happily ever after.

Couldn't Put It Down

Ms. Johnson does an excellent job of giving a rake his due--as usual.

terrific erotic Regency romance

In 1788, as a vicar's daughter, Elspeth understands the sanctity of her wedding vows though she detests her marriage to elderly cold-hearted Lord Grafton who had two previous wives. Gossip amidst the Ton insists she is still a virgin six months after they exchanged I Do's as she allegedly sent him into a fit of apoplexy that has left him confined to a Bath chair. She wonders if she did the right thing when she agreed to marry lecherous "Old Hellfire", but did so with her parents dead so that her brother could gain a military commission. While she suffers with Grafton as a watchdog companion, her sibling serves in India. Marquis Julius D'Abernon hears the rumors of Elspeth's virginity that between her and her husband they guard as precious cargo. He decides that she is just the challenge he needs to get over his current boredom that has even the Tatler wondering what happened to their top juicy scandal maker. Julius begins his seduction campaign one kiss at a time. However, as he opens her senses to the sensations of lovemaking, he finds he is seduced by the virgin but he only obtains temporary respites from his needs for her. He becomes bolder and she increasingly brazen because it is strange what love can make people do. This is a terrific erotic Regency romance starring a likable heroine who turns from being depressed to euphoric due to the antics of hedonist turned adoring lover Julius. Old Hellfire lives up to his name so few will be upset when the lead couple cuckolds him (mindful of one of the Canterbury Tales). Fans will appreciate this fine historical romance and root for the lead pair to come together permanently. Harriet Klausner

Another good steamy read

This was another hot book by Susan Johnson, I love most of Susan Johnsons books execpt for the last 2 that she wrote (Twin Peaks and Hot Spot) I really did not care about either one of them, maby because I like historicals the best. So far I have liked most all of her other books and hope she keeps up the great work. Over all this was not one of her best but it still goes on my keeper shelf because it was not bad either.
