James Archer is so very lonely and miserable. A very wealthy
but common merchant, James is married to a cruel viper of a
wife who wishes him dead and throws her many lovers in his
face, while he is not allowed to have any. James married his
society wife to give his younger sister her London season in
the hope that she would marry
well. James' only solace is working long hours at his
factory and making even more money than he already has. He
makes the decision to visit a brothel run by Madame
Rubicon in the hope that sexual pleasure by a skilled
prostitute will give him some relief.
Rose Marlowe works for Madame Rubicon the first
week of each month. Rose has no other choice since she
has to pay off her dead father's debts, make certain she
doesn't lose her family's property, and pay for her eighteen
year old brother Dash's allowance in London.
When James meets with the Madame, he is nervous and ashamed
that he has to pay for pleasure, but when he sees Rose, he
is dumbstruck by her beauty. Rose is confused by James the
first night they meet since all he wants to do is talk and
hold hands. And then when James asks if he can come see her
again the next night, she happily agrees.
Soon Rose eagerly anticipates the nights she shares with
James. Not only does he treat her with respect, but he gives
her amazing pleasure without asking for anything in return.
James can't get Rose out of his mind and wants nothing more
than to spend every hour with her, going as far as to invite
her for a week at his country home where he's willing to pay
any price just to have her near him. Both ache for one
another desperately, knowing there is no future for them.
Evangeline Collins truly has written something special with
SEVEN NIGHTS TO FOREVER. Rose is an actual prostitute who
has years of experience. James is, hands down, the most
adorable, self-sacrificing beta hero I've ever read. His
degradation at the hands of his wife is heartbreaking.
He is very much is a victim of emotional spousal abuse. He
bleeds inside, silently suffering when all he longs for is
a kind touch.
I really can't find anything wrong with SEVEN NIGHTS TO
FOREVER other than James' wife being a bit too cruel
and having no real depth. I also found that Rose's issue
with Dash could have been easily fixed, but then there would
be no story.
James Archer and Rose Marlowe are characters who will stay
with you for a long time after you finish reading. Do
yourself a favor and please pick up SEVEN NIGHTS TO FOREVER.
It's really a beautiful, emotional, and sensual romance with
an incredible hero and heroine.
The author of Her Ladyship's Companion once again pushes the
erotic boundaries of Regency romance. Destitute after her
father's death, Rose Marlowe has debts to settle and a
younger brother to support. But she also possesses a
matchless beauty--one that could command quite a price. Now,
every month, Rose spends one week at a decadent London
brothel, where she's become a sought-after prize. Then one
night she meets a wealthy merchant. Handsome, kind and
compassionate, with a lonely soul that matches her own,
James Archer is not her typical client. Falling in love with
a client, never mind a married one, is unthinkable. Yet Rose
can't help but lose herself as one night becomes seven--and
seven nights leads to a chance at forever.
