From front to back
cover, Jess Michaels has written another masterfully written historical
erotic romance that titillates and enthralls when a handsome nobleman
lures a beautiful innocent woman into his bed for nights of sinful
pleasure. What is the beautiful and innocent Miss Miranda Albright to
do when her father passes on, leaving her and her younger sisters in a
mountain of debt? Miranda may be innocent, but she is also intelligent,
and so she works up a plan to sacrifice herself for her sisters. She is
aware of and has watched the handsome rogue of a neighbor Ethan Hamon,
the Earl of Rothschild, entertain lady after lady at his country estate.
When she boldly turns up on Ethan's doorstep to offer herself to
his pleasures in return for his help in sponsoring her sister's
seasons, he is shocked at the bold and beautiful innocent's offer of
her virginity. Miranda believes it will be for one night, but Ethan
boldly asks for three months. She is shocked, but has no choice to
agree, and as she learns to enjoy what Ethan offers she begins to
realize her plan is not as simple as it first seemed, as the handsome
and passionate Ethan is not only hard to resist, but addictive, and
Miranda finds herself looking forward to their time together, eagerly
looking forward to each liaison.
A true notorious rogue, Ethan looks forward to the opportunity of
molding and teaching Miranda in the arts of sensual pleasure, but as
the months and nights of pleasure near the end, Ethan never suspects
that he will be the one to learn much more from Miranda; that forbidden
pleasure can easily turn to love. Will Ethan be able to just walk away
from Miranda as he has with other ladies in the past, especially when
"Everything Forbidden" becomes everything he needs for passion, love
and happiness in his life forever? The erotic scenes and the story are
beautifully written, drawing the reader in, making this story hard to
put down. Jess Michaels has the talent to not have the erotica
overwhelm the storyline, which is indeed a pleasure!
