Kendra Smythe has been engaged to the Earl of Blackpool since she was a child. She is now in dire financial straits. Her father is gravely ill. Kendra has tried contacting Blackpool for help, but he has not replied to her letter nor stepped forward with help as of yet. She has nothing left to sell now but her virginity. It is in London that Kendra seeks help from her friend, Sarah, to pull off this daring plan. Kendra sets her sights on Derrick Thornton, a known rake and lover of anything pure. From this point on, Kendra will find out what the birds and bees have really been doing.

A WEEK OF PLEASURE, a novella, is by Christie Kelley. This is a HOT and gratifying historical that takes the reader away from their cares, transporting them back in time. This reader loved the innate way Ms. Kelley used the characters and their interplay to work together to create a marvelous story. The heat and passionate love scenes between Dev and Kendra will burn long after this story ends. The storyline and dialogue were clear and flowed smoothly. This reviewer really only had one issue with the story. Some of the erotic wording did not have a mature quality to them at times. If you love erotic historical romance, then you do not want to miss, A WEEK OF PLEASURE!
