It was well written except for a few minor editing errors. Occasionally words are missing in sentences. Example. The word 'to' is missing here.
"...., she refused let her mind wander there. "
The interplay between Lord Duldon and Bliss is very erotic and enticing. I really liked the story, but there were times it seemed to drag just a little bit.
Other characters are brought in throughout as they interplay with Bliss and Duldon's story. The opening scene is with Ruby holding an unopened letter. Love the way she wrote that!
Even with the small problems that I mentioned, it was a great story and well worth reading!… (meer)

It is beautifully well written. The story is very true to the historical timeline. The sensuality and passion is powerful and erotic.
I found no editing errors. Mostly fast paced, although I feel there were a couple of areas that were just a bit redundant. That is why I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars.
Both Captain Derek Price and Madame Rouge, a.k.a. Ruby, a.k.a. Emma Scanton are great characters. They are both strong individuals trying to find a way to make their families happy without losing who they are and what they want out of life.
A quote from this book, "That what one wanted, what one believed in, and what one could have were not the same thing."
This is more true for the timeline of this story then in present times. However, it is one of those truths that endures through time, just in varying degrees. I think it is also the epitome of Ruby and Derek's story.
The way this story ended is very interesting. While you definitely get your HEA, it also leaves their future open. I think this is actually a great ending in that for the first time in both their lives they have options they never had before. A new freedom that they are both hungry to explore.

Although this is a novella of about 90 pages, it is full of passion.
At one time Sarah was full of confidence in herself and her future. Then Jonathan left her. She lost faith in herself. Just as she has decided to marry a man she doesn't want to save her family from debt, Jonathan is suddenly back. She decides she deserves one night to have passion. One night for herself. She confronts Jonathan and tells him what she wants.
Sparks fly. Passion ignites. And everything changes.
“But I can be sure this moment lives always in my memory.”
Okay. Just wow. Can you imagine having someone say this to you?! Now that is a toe curler.
Ms. Lavinia Kent has a way of writing that sets you on fire. Beautifully written.… (meer)

4.5 stars. I would have liked to seen a little bit more details about who Ruby (Emma Scanton) really is.
Very well written. The words and the story flow easily. It is definitely erotic and entertaining.
The scene between Geoffrey and the Countess that started the friction between them sets the timeline just before book #1. We get to see Ruby's thoughts and reaction to this scene.
You do get a good idea of who Ruby is as she is slowly revealed through her interactions with Captain Derek David Price. But a lot of questions about her still remain.
I have to admit, I am very intrigued and looking forward to reading Ruby's story in book #3 'Ravishing Ruby'.
What I find interesting is that I am reading a Historical Romance. I don't normally like them at all. I have read quite a few and always found the writing to be flowery and overblown. That is NOT the case with Lavinia Kent's books. She doesn't overdo the speech of the time nor exaggerate the virtue of the timeline. Her writing of the way things were is more authentic. This makes her characters more human and easy to connect to.
I highly recommend this book and series to ADULTS who love a great steamy romance no matter what the timeline!… (meer)
