"Sensual and Delightful Historical Romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Deeply in You
Sharon Page

Reviewed by Samantha R

Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Historical

From a distance, Helena Winsome appears to be a kind, unsuspecting governess who loves the children she looks after. Though she does love her charges, Helena is more than a governess; she is a spy sent to discover if the Duke of Greybrooke has committed treason. Failure to investigate him would mean the destruction of her family, particularly her brother who can't stay away from card tables. When unknowing Greybrooke offers her a chance at being his mistress, she doesn't want to deceive him, but the more pressure is put on her to find his secrets will lead her down an erotic path she never intended to go down.

DEEPLY IN YOU by Sharon Page seems to play into the predictable story paths of the rakish duke-stubborn and socially beneath woman trope at first, but about a fourth of the way in, the story finds an exciting, original, and ultimately refreshing stride that makes it hard to step away for the rest of the novel. Helena and Grey's journey is one of intense passion, begrudging love, sinful scandal, deadly mystery, and a large dose of care.

The characterization of the minor characters shines in this book. Grey and Helena both have family members they care deeply for, and it's a sheer joy getting to know them. They each are so distinct and interesting. With the main characters, Helena and Grey, they all make the story feel intimate. I could imagine the later books in the Wicked Dukes series giving off a vibe of coming home after reading this one.

For readers of historical romance and erotica, DEEPLY IN YOU explores a relationship you won't soon forget. Sharon Page does a marvelous job of creating life-like characters in an aged world. Though the beginning was a bit rocky for me, DEEPLY IN YOU is a heart-warming, body-heating enjoyable read not to be missed.

SUMMARY

Sensual Awakening

Anxious to save her brother from debtor's prison, Helena Winsome agrees to find proof that the Duke of Greybrooke is a traitor. Well aware of his wicked ways, she takes on the guise of a demure governess. But his smoldering sensuality overwhelms her--as does his vow to make her his lover, a scandalous promise that leaves her weak with desire. . .

Sexual Seduction

Darkly handsome and powerfully seductive, the Duke of Greybrooke is a man of deep passion. When the lovely Miss Helena Winsome turns down an offer to become his mistress, Grey takes on the challenge. He'll expose Helena to the erotic thrill of carnal pleasure and tease her senses until all she can do is beg for more. . .
