HOT HOT HOT

Two very hot, erotic yet very romantic stories that will keep you turning the pages. Enjoy!

Sensual as all Get Out - TASTEFULLY Done!!

ROGUE IN DISGUISE --- When Lady Ophelia Sheffield's father lost the family estate to a notorious rake, the Earl of Rotherham, she and her sister were determined to gain back their home by whatever means were necessary. Ophelia, being the eldest, took it upon herself to beard the lion in his den and negotiated an offer to become the earl's protégé/student in the art of pleasure for one month on the condition that he return the deed to her family home. Charles Lynton, the earl's brother looked amazingly like his elder brother except for the color of their eyes, and the earl often asked him to fill in for him when he wanted to get away. As such, Charles had become proficient at extricating the earl from the ton's more wily debutantes who looked to entrap him into becoming the earl's Countess. Thinking Ophelia was another trying to gain a husband, and with her also being one of the more sumptuous women he'd encountered, her proposal was just too good to pass up! AND, just too much of a temptation for Charles. As Ophelia proved to be a stimulating student who delighted in his `lessons' Charles was keenly aware that he might not be able to let her go, but would she ever be able to forgive him his deception of being a `rogue' in disguise? *** WHEW! Talk about a HOTTY!!! - This was a totally sensual experience with the bonus of providing a wonderful love story on top of it! Ophelia was an apt pupil whose initial interest in gaining back the family home was totally eclipsed by a sensual awakening by the man she thought was the notorious Earl of Rotherham. Never expecting a happily ever after with him, she relished the experience and relinquished her innocence, failing to protect her heart. Even she couldn't define how she could love someone of his reputation - but she did! When her father discovered what she'd been up to and tried to force Charles' hand into marriage, Charles' rage at Ophelia for thinking she set him up was as understandable as the words delivered causing a crushing blow to her heart! But alas, love always turns out at the end. This was a truly quick read (a little over a hundred pages) but one that I am so very glad to have experienced! Though erotica in content, it was presented in a beautiful, and tasteful love story which was in no way coarse or crude! This was truly a divine read! - I have not read the accompanying Featherstone story as I was only sent the ARC of Rogue...

Erotically Awesome Historical Romance

ROGUE IN DISGUISE is a very erotic and tantalizing story that will keep the reader anxiously turning the pages to see what delicious experiences Charles has in store for Ophelia. Monica Burns wrote a story that is very explicit and exciting and not a story for the faint of heart. Briana Burress, Reviewer for Romance Junkies

Delightfully Wicked! Don't Miss This One!

If you're looking for romance that sizzles, your search is over! I have read one of the two stories included in this book--Rogue in Disguise by Monica Burns. The story provides readers a delightful, fun frolick from start to finish. The plot will suck you in right from page one, and will keep you engrossed until the last word! With its rakish hero and sassy heroine, Rogue in Disguise will thoroughly entertain you. The love scenes nearly singed my eyebrows--wickedly erotic and most memorable! The passion between the hero and heroine is both tender and torrid. I've also read all the other Monica Burns titles from the New Concepts Publishing website [...], and I can tell you from experience that they're all marvelous. If you like Rogue in Disguise, you will love her other books even more! Although I've already downloaded and read Rogue in Disguise, I am going to buy a copy of The Art of Pleasure for my keeper shelf. I'm sure that Tutoring Lady Jane will be equally enjoyable. I can't wait to read it!

Wow!

I stumbled upon another book by this author online by mistake and was drawn in instantly. I am not someone who likes fiction preferring non-fiction but I loved the historical detail not to mention the appropriate build up of sexual tension - something that in today's society I think we have forgotten in TV, Ads, etc. It is definitely worth while to take the time to read this one too! You will not be disappointed! Great Read!
