| Returning from an unsuccessful London season, Miss Poppy Adams would like to be an artist and to be left out of the marriage pursuit and the pink ruffle dresses her mother feels is essential. When Louisa Lloyd-Jones is introduced to the girl at the annual Montvale Summer Fete, she feels an immediate kinship for the young lady with the overbearing mother. So Louisa invites Poppy to spend some time with her and her husband, Owen, at Montvale House. When Louisa finds a crumpled drawing of herself and Owen making love, she knows there is a great deal more to Poppy than it might appear on the surface.
As she gets to know Louisa, Poppy is delighted to be staying in an environment where she can speak her mind freely with out fear of retribution. Not only can Poppy exchange ideas with a woman who is not terrified of nudity but Louisa has also arranged for Poppy to be able to paint. His cousin, Lord Nicholas Barbour, has sent Damian Barbour, to Louisa and Owen's home in Yorkshire to escape the scandal and wrath from being caught with the mistresses of two prominent parliamentarians. When Louisa arranges for Damian to serve as Poppy's model sparks fly. Can this improbable couple make a lasting a match? This is a delicious erotic regency tale and a great addition to Ms. Kelly's series. Poppy and Damian are enchanting characters in an extremely steamy story. While Pleasuring Miss Poppy stands alone, readers of the previous Tales of the Beau Monde will be thrilled to see Louisa again. Ms. Kelly's talent for lively characters and witty dialogue makes Pleasuring Miss Poppy a reading delight.
