A Gentleman Undone (2012)
I've rarely read a book about a mistress who is voracious about sex but still a likeable character. Lydia is brilliant in math, logic and has calculated odds for winning in cards. Will -brother of Theo- who is only mentioned in book 1 has returned from the war and is a dark character. He sees ...
A Gentleman Undone. Cecilia Grant (2012)
A Gentleman Undone is one of the best capital-R Romance novels I've ever read. I'm a little new to the genre (although quickly making up for lost time as my "Read 100 Books in 2014" Challenge is evolving into a "Read 100 Romance Novels in 2014" Challenge) so I am by no means an expert, but A Gen...

Desperate to prevent the estate falling into the hands of her reprobate and licentious brother-in-law, Martha comes up with a daring and somewhat racy plan; buy the sexual ser...
El despertar de una dama (2012)
I think this is probably the most overrated book on audible, and maybe goodreads. Even though I could agree that Grant's writing is good, and there are some very nice pieces of character development that unfold, she leaves much wanting in this novel. Martha Russell, widower makes arrangements w...
