Edmund's godfather was Lord Reeth, Melloney's step father. He felt obligated to offer for her even though he wasn't sure she would ever be comfortable with him. He did, however, try to take things easy with her so he wouldn't scare her away from him. He made a business trip. When he returned, his life would never be the same routine.

Ms. Meta Matthews has presented us with a very fast-paced, erotic book about London in 1817. I'll admit I was taken by surprise at the direction she took this plot. It was, however, an enjoyable read. Her characters were realistic. They were especially believable. The shocking conclusion threw me—I'll admit, it never crossed my mind.

The secondary characters worked very well with each other. The sensual activities were very explicit—not for the faint of heart. It did not, however, deter from the storyline. The great story used these scenes—they were not written just to be sex. I am impressed with Ms. Matthews. I'll definitely look for her in the future. I do recommend this book.
