Synopsis:
Destined to go blind, a rake sets his sights on the toast of society, lighting a fire of passion that scorches the night, in this captivating novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans.
Stephen Hornsby, the Marquess of Clevedon, has one goal: to see every exquisite thing he can before he goes blind. His greatest joy, watching a woman shuddering in the throes of passion, will be gone. But before the darkness descends, he is determined to seduce a magnificent widow, Lady Penelope Fisherton. Unfortunately, his rakish reputation has preceded him; Lady Penelope spurns his advances. Being a man who relishes a challenge, however, her reluctance adds only luster to his desire for the last beautiful sight he’ll ever see.
Considered the belle of London society, Lady Penelope was married to a scoundrel who cared for no one but himself. Now that she’s free, she wants nothing to do with love, passion, or desire—emotions that abandoned her with a cruel husband. So why does her body react when Stephen smiles? As much as she’d like to avoid the rogue, her brother-in-law wants her fortune, and he’ll kill to get it. Stephen is willing to help, but he’ll take only one thing in return: Her. In his bed.
MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is not the first book I read by this
author and yet it still amazes me that I always get swept up in her books.
Drawn to the Marquess is no different. From the
very first page to the last, I was completely wrapped up and invested in the
characters and plot.
The writing is amazing. It had me falling in
love with the Marquess from almost the very beginning.
Lady Penelope Fisherton is a widow and is glad
to be so. She lives away from society due to the scandal of her marriage. She
must somewhat re-enter it to seek the help of Stephen Hornsby, The Marquess of
Clevedon, because her brother-in-law is accusing her of murdering her husband.
Steven Hornsby, is slowly losing his eyesight.
He is now a connoisseur of beauty. He is at an auction house to bid on a
picturesque painting when he meets Penelope. It is also when he realizes the
painting’s beauty pales in comparison to that of Lady Penelope’s. With this, he
makes plans for the seduction of said beauty.
With Lady Penelope requiring Steven’s help and
Steven wanting to bed her, they come to an agreement. Steven will help clear
Lady Penelope’s name if she allows him a chance to try and seduce her.
The game of seduction is oh so good because he
eventually realizes that Lady Penelope is holding secrets and now must ask
himself if he is the seducer or the seduced….
This is a captivating read that is told in dual
POV. I loved the thrill of the seduction in this book; the way Penelope and
Steven just naturally gravitate towards each other. The spark and the fire
between them. The mystery itself was intriguing.
Recommended to those who love a sensual romance
along with a side of intriguing mystery.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts
and opinions are my own.
