A COURTESAN'S GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR MAN
Susan Donovan, Celeste Bradley

Reviewed by Annette Stone

Romance Historical | Romance Contemporary

Museum curator Piper Chase-Pierpont stumbles across a diary written by abolitionist Ophelia Harrington, also known as The Blackbird. The diary details her life as a well trained Courtesan and a woman who managed to live the way she wanted, and her relationship with the masked man known only as Sir who held her heart and taught her what she knows. Piper becomes engrossed in Ophelia's life and soon learns that what history tells of Ophelia is wrong, and she must decide what to do about correcting it.

Mick Malloy reenters Piper's life to work at the museum. She wonders if she can use what she has read in the diary to get Mick's attention or will he just look right through her as he did in the past.

While Piper works her magic on Mick, she learns more and more about Ophelia and her life, including what made her become a courtesan and what made her run from London to Boston.

Ms. Bradley and Ms. Donovan bring their two worlds, Historical and Contemporary, together and have done an amazing job. A COURTESAN'S GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR MAN is like getting two books in one as it alternates between Piper's story and Ophelia's. So sensual and erotic, it will get your heart racing. You will be unable to put it down until the very end to see what happens to Ophelia as well as Piper. This book held my attention and kept me turning the pages until I finished. Job well done to both authors on a book that will remain on the keeper shelf and will be read again and again. This is definitely a story that will never get old.

SUMMARY

Regency London's most celebrated courtesan, The Blackbird, was a woman before her time–uninhibited, financially independent, and free to live by her own rules. Schooled in the sensual arts by the one man she loved the most, she recorded every wicked detail in her diaries... When Boston museum curator Piper Chase-Pierpont unearths The Blackbird's steamy memoirs, she's aroused and challenged by what she finds. Could the courtesan's diaries be used as a modern girl's guide to finding love and empowerment? One curious curator–and one very lucky man–are about to find out...
