Romance Historical

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!

SUMMARY

A new and evocative Regency historical novel from rising star Meredith Duran, an author for whom, as Fresh Fiction said, “readers need to make room on their keeper shelf.” Glittering court socialites and underworld cutpurses agree: Adrian Ferrers, Earl of Rivenham, is the most dangerous man in London. Rivenham will let nothing—not the deepening shadow of war; not the growing darkness within him—interfere with his ambition to restore his family to its former glory. But when tasked by the king to uncover a traitor, he discovers a conspiracy—and a woman whose courage awakens terrible temptations. To save her is to risk everything. To love her might cost his life.Lady Sarah Percy knows that Rivenham is the devil in beautiful disguise—and that the dark attraction between them is as dangerous as the nightmare in which her family is trapped. But when war breaks out, she has no choice but to place her trust in her dearest enemy—and hope that love does not become the weapon that destroys them both…
