Oh, gosh.
Q:

Q:

Loved it! Not your usual historical romance with an unconventional heroine and leading man. Couldn't put it down! Definitely one to put on your "to read" list.

Another great story from Lisa Kleypas! This one is a bit different. Amanda Briars is a spinster facing her 30th birthday and decides to hire a male prostitute as she wants to see what she has been missing. When Jack Devlin shows up at her door, she thinks he is the man sent to her from Mrs. Bradshaw's establishment. Things heat up from there! Great story!!
