About this ebook

The shocking second book in The Pleasure Wars series by USA Today Bestselling Historical Romance Author Jess Michaels

Her mother's madness and her father's and brother's irresponsibility have relegated Lady Portia to the life of a wallflower. The only shining light in her life is her best friend, Ava, who is suffering a rift with her own brother. Portia's quest to help takes her to the notorious Donville Masquerade in the hells, where-behind the safety of a mask-she witnesses shocking public acts of sin. And succumbs to the touch of Marquis Miles Weatherfield. Unfortunately, they're discovered. And now, tainted by scandal, she and Miles are destined for a marriage neither of them want. But Portia makes a bargain that raises even Miles's eyebrows. In return for saving her mother from the asylum, Portia will do anything Miles wants in bed. Shocked by his driving desire for Portia, Miles agrees.

As they explore every wicked desire, every forbidden act that pleases them, they discover something that goes far deeper than flesh. But the lies that brought them together could be the very wedge that drives them apart.

Historical romances are not my favorite, but there are a few authors who write them so well that I can't resist reading them. Jess Michaels is one of those authors. I can't say I love all her books, but I can say I love most of the ones I have read of hers. This is one I loved. My reason for 4 stars is do to a few typos/editing errors. One of which really stood out. I didn't highlight them all, but the ones I did are visible on my Kindle Notes on Goodreads. This is my 2nd book in this series I have read and I really enjoyed it. Other than the above mentioned errors, the story flows quickly and smoothly. Her world build is very well done. You can easily picture the time frame of old London from the visual to the attitude of the people at that time. It is a lovely adult romance filled with erotic steam. All the characters, especially the main characters Miles & Portia, are well developed. Their situations are both intriguing and very authentic to their era in history. So it is very easy to see them both as real and having existed long ago. I am going to reiterate, this is an Adult Erotic Romance. Children and Adults with 'Sensitive Constitutions' need not apply.

A very good book, but has a very abrupt ending.
