✨ARC Review✨ I’m delighted with this book. I love historical romance and one of my favorites is the Lustful Lords series by @authorsorchamowbray. This book isn’t really like that series except in the proclivities department.
Bless Fitz. Sorcha’s Lords are the opposite of our sweetie pie.
Miss Georgiana Hartley has specific tastes for her bedroom activities and since her parents keep throwing her (once, literally) into the path of every titled gentleman in town, she’s going to go for what she wants. She’s heard the Duke of Ironcrest can give her what she craves, so she’s awaiting him for a house party rendezvous when in walks sweet, bumbling, socially awkward Fitzwilliam Jennings.
Fitz is the younger brother of the Earl of Bentley and is a studious, bookish sort who does Italian translations. He may not be titled himself, but he is his brother’s heir and the family is well-connected. Plus, when people start piling into the room where Georgiana has her breasts hanging out and Fitz is caught with her, they are thoroughly compromised. The only solution is a quick marriage.
So, what’s a woman with needs going to do about her shy, avoidant husband? Hunt him down, of course.
Look. Are there some anachronistic turns of phrase in here? Does it seem the Jennings family is surprisingly progressive? Sure. But this book is fun and it’s sexy. I love that Fitz is charmingly awkward and Georgiana comes to love that about him. I am proud of her for telling him about her desires too. I adore the competitiveness of the Jennings family. That snowball fight is fantastic. And did I mention how spicy this is? Let me tell ya, Fitz can command me in Italian and call me a bad kitty any day. Unlike Georgiana, I won’t understand it, but I can read context clues.
