Adrian must uncover a traitor to the crown. Sarah is somehow mixed up in the sordid business, making Adrian decide whether he should stay away or try to protect her. But above all, it would not be a good idea to fall in love with her.
Sarah is seductively sweet, it is easy to see why Adrian might be tempted by her. She has these cute mannerisms throughout the book that made me instantly like her. Adrian is a character any reader can fall in love with. He is protective, brave, and charismatic. Sometimes he can come off as too perfect, I appreciated his clean-cut ways nonetheless. I thought the story really took off when he discovers something that happened to Sarah because of him. Their relationship is so believable, that it had me wishing I had Adrian for a boyfriend. The underlying mystery over who the traitor truly is keeps the story moving at a gut wrenching, who-done-it pace.
I loved the fast-paced feel of AT YOUR PLEASURE. Although the book covers fairly lengthy amounts of time, I still remain firmly within the book and was not confused. Meredith Duran has successfully mixed romance, history, and heart pounding mystery into a wonderful read!
