TO WOO A WICKED WIDOW is the first book in Jenna Jaxon's
Widow's Club series. This book
starts out with a tragic
tale of two lovers cruelly torn apart by a tyrannical and
vindictive father and evolves into an enjoyable farce
with an intriguing romance. The first chapter of TO WOO A
WICKED WIDOW, is set six years before the rest of the
main story. In that opening chapter, the reader learns
how Lady Charlotte Cavendish was wrenched away from the
man she loved and how her father gifted her in marriage
to one of his old cronies. That event shaped Charlotte's
view of marriage and men. In TO WOO A WICKED WIDOW,
Charlotte and her fellow widowed friends flout society's
conventions and try to pick the men they want, for what
they want, for however long they want. Drawing room
banter, charming bounders, and torrid trysts litter TO
WOO A WICKED WIDOW and make this book a fun romp for
historical romance fans.
Having been denied passion for so many years, after her
odious husband's death, Charlotte is starved for some
thrills and physical intimacy. Men, and society in
general, have an annoying tendency of trying to make her
define her relationships and keeping her from what she
wants most. Enter two men into Charlotte's life -- the
delectable and frustratingly honorable Nash, the twelfth
Earl of Wrotham, and the comically lascivious and
extremely persistent Mr. Alan Garrett. Lust and
practicality battle for supremacy in Charlotte's mind.
Love makes a surprise appearance and threatens to upset
the entire apple cart. Nash is a charming suitor, and his
attempts to persuade Charlotte that marriage to him
wouldn't be so bad are both amusing and erotic. I also
love the entertaining way Charlotte and her friends herd
eligible bachelors with unexpected results.
TO WOO A WICKED WIDOW is a farcical and fantastic love
story. The female friendships are the glue that holds
this story together, and I can't wait to see what's in
store for Charlotte's friend Elizabeth. I look forward to
reading the next Widow's Club book.
And one by one, the widows of Lyttlefield Park are
getting restless . . .
Lady Charlotte Cavendish is still the spirited girl who
tried to elope in the name of love. That dream was
thwarted by her father who trapped her into a loveless,
passionless marriage. But now widowed, Charlotte is free
to reenter the giddy world of the ton—and pursue her
desires. For hardly your typical widow, she remains
innocent to the pleasures of the flesh. Yet her life is
finally her own, and she intends to keep it that way . .
.
Nash, the twelfth Earl of Wrotham, is beguiled by
Charlotte at first sight—and the feeling is mutual. When
he receives her intriguing invitation to a house party,
the marriage-minded lord plans to further their
acquaintance. But even he cannot sway her aversion to
matrimony, and only with great restraint does he resist
her most tempting offer. For unbeknownst to Charlotte,
the misadventures of the past are revisiting them both,
and bedding her could cost him everything—or give him
everything he ever wanted . . .
