For all those readers out there who loves heated,, high igniting passion. Just plain all day lustful entanglements in a book? Well, this book isn’t for you. This book gives you a heck of a lot more than what I’ve listed above. I felt like I was on high octane ride while reading.
The sweltering heat, it just swelters off this book. Brock you naughty boy. This man just rev my lower engine. Bring me down Jesus. I want a weeks getaway with a rakish Rogue to sate my—.
Dare I say it? Ah heck, I’ll say it anyway. Sate my quim. Whew Lord. If you are a delicate flower.
Don’t read this book. You might combust! Anna Campbell brought steamy back. The writing is captivating. The drama to the plot gives enough intensity to keep the reader turning the page.
The details gives the reader a visual that gets them lost in the world of Brock and Selina. Widow Selina has lost hope of finding a good husband. She sets out to be married to Cecil. Brock, is having none of it. He sets his site on Selina, day one of the announcement.
His Rakish ways sweeps Selina away to his home away from home. They share a week away that gives them insight to who they are as a couple. Selina emerges with enough courage to face off with Cecil. This face off changes everything for Brock and Selina. I recommend this book with two snaps,and one, put out the do not disturb sign Brock.
Until next time my fellow readers... read on! I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.

Widow Selina Martin is engaged to a boorish but wealthy businessman who she’s marrying to provide for her son. With two weeks to go before the wedding, they attend a party hosted by a well connected patron. In attendance is Brock Drummond, the Earl of Bruard, a notorious ladies man and the object of Selina’s dreams for quite some time. Selina has an unexpected encounter with him during the party and gives in to her fantasies by agreeing to spend the next week with him at his private hunting lodge while her fiancé is away. It’s a last gift to herself as she enters into yet another loveless, unfulfilling marriage.

If this sounds like an erotic indulgence it’s because it is! Selina just wanted to experience some level of sexual satisfaction in her life before she settled into what she was sure would be an awful physical relationship with her future husband. For his part, Brock was more than captivated by Selina as she seemed immune to his charms and made it clear what the week was and wasn’t about. For the first time in his adult life, he was the pursuer, trying to win over the affections of a woman.

Be forewarned that the story is explicit and consistent with the foundation of the story. Selina gets the fulfillment she sought and Brock was masterful in his efforts. I liked them both, he being honest with himself and Selina in ways he’d never been, she shedding all her vulnerabilities and being frank and honest. It’s an erotic love story that didn’t start out that way but developed over this extraordinary week. While I was a little “judgy” of Selina at first (after all she is engaged to another man), I was eventually swayed to her point of view and believed in her cause. It’s a lovely story with lots of steamy encounters.
