Widowed Hannah Taylor Bell, serving as an unpaid companion
to her aunt-by-marriage Lady Dorchester as she has nowhere
else to go, finds refuge among the books in the library.
Seeking a moment of solitude she instead finds Lady
Dorchester's younger son, Lord Leo Wraxhall, debauch a maid.
Hannah is both embarrassed and aroused. Leo, the black
sheep of the family, catches her and sets before her a
challenge— he claims he can prove a woman's desires and
passions can be equal to a man's. With one glimpse into
Leo's erotic world, Hannah is eager to learn all Leo has to
teach her.
IMPROPER RELATIONS is a quick read that will please fans of
erotic historical romance. The encounters between Leo and
Hannah are frequent and explicit. The first person
narrative and poor-relation heroine serve to emphasize the
historical aspect of the story. Hannah often refers to Leo
as "Cousin Leo" which made me a little uncomfortable though
there is
no biological relationship between them. Fans of the
erotic-historical genre should give this debut novella a look.
When Hannah's caught watching her late husband's cousin
debauch the maid in the library, she's mortified—but also
intrigued. An unpaid companion to his aunt, she's used to
being ignored.
The black sheep of the family, Leo has nothing but his good
looks and noble birth to recommend him. Hannah ought to be
appalled at what she's witnessed, but there's something
about Leo that draws her to him.
When Leo claims he can prove that women can feel desire as
passionately as men, Hannah is incredulous. Her own
experiences have been uninspiring. Yet she can't bring
herself to refuse his audacious proposal when he offers to
tutor her in the art of lovemaking. As the tantalizing,
wicked lessons continue, she begins to fear she's losing not
just her inhibitions, but her heart as well. The poorest of
relations, she has nothing to offer Leo but herself. Will it
be enough when their erotic education ends?
