Sabrina Fairleigh, adopted daughter of a country vicar, accompanies her friend Lady Capstraw on a visit to La Montagne, the country estate of Rhys, the Earl of Rawden. Sabrina is poor, beautiful and protected from the passions of the heart by her intelligence, or so she thinks.
Tall, incredibly handsome, bored and better known as The Libertine, Rhys has retired to the country to give his latest escapade with a married woman (and the ensuing duel) a chance to die down. To ease his boredom, Rhys decides to test the young Sabrina's defenses. Will the young innocent be able to defend herself against the onslaught of a professional lover, or will she succumb? Or maybe he will?
This is the third book in the trilogy about Anna Holt's lost daughters, Sylvie, Susannah and Sabrina, and one more on my list of books I could not put down. Just wait until you meet the housekeeper in the last half of the book. She's truly a one-and-only. Rhys stands the test, along with the other two heroes, in that he's tall, handsome and wickedly charming. He's the kind of man who, after many mistresses and lovers, finds the one innocent he finds irresistible. Sabrina, like her sisters, is young, beautiful and appears to have her own unique talent and artistry. I really like this author, and I look forward to many more of her books.
