Serena’s found the perfect lover––too bad he’s her worst enemy.
Driven by longings she can no longer contain, Serena Alberenghi ventures into the decadent madness of Venice’s Carnival. There she finds what she is searching for in the arms of a masked stranger, whose rough hands and scorching kisses leave her breathless.
She never expects to see him again, but he seeks her out and tempts her with the promise of a night dedicated solely to her pleasure—a dangerous proposition for a respectable widow with secrets to protect. She agrees to be his lover on the condition they remain anonymous.
Merchant prince Dante Valaresso has returned to Venice to restore his family’s fortune and reclaim his ancestral home. A born sailor, he misses the sea, but his fiery new mistress has him thinking life ashore might suit him just as well. All that stands between him and contentment is a dour, eccentric widow named Serena Alberenghi, who refuses to vacate his palazzo.
They play out their games amidst the sensual, heady swirl of Carnival, they unmask the truth: To earn perfect happiness, each might have to give up what they covet the most.
Warning: This title contains explicit sex, and while it may appear to advocate sexual adventures with dangerous masked men, the author and her lawyers discourage this as a general practice. This title also involves the shocking misuse of a public gondola, and an even more shocking depiction of crumbling male pride.
Rating: 84!
It is always a pleasure to discover an author who could potentially be great one day, so this naughty historical romance set in 18th-century Venice has been most enjoyable indeed.
4 Stars!
For all those out there that cut their teeth on bodice-ripper historical romances – you will love this book!
5 Cups!
Serena and Dante are a great couple and watching their love affair grow is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon….While not always explicit, the book is definitely erotic, and I found the sex scenes thrilling—the gondola scene is to die for. I whole heartedly recommend this book and will add Ms. Byrne to my “auto-buy” list.
