Dominating Mr. Darling by Victoria Vale

5.0

I'm a big fan of this author's work. She does her research and then some. I've read a few erotic historicals where it was put tab A into slot B. This book is so much more than that. There are real feelings and emotions intermingled with some really hot sex scenes including those which feature BDSM (so pass if that isn't your cup of tea, but give a try, you might be surprised). Amelia isn't an easy heroine to root for unless you know her backstory which we knew part of from reading her brother, Simon's book. She is bold, daring, and does what she wants. This is looked down upon by the ton, but she is still very much sought out as a potential wife because of her connections to her brother. Michael is not titled, but he does have all of the qualities that I love in a hero; kind, but not a pushover, loving, and very sexy. He was just what Amelia needed first for her need to be a mistress and a sexual dominant, and then for someone to come to love and care for her. I just loved this book and can't wait to read more books by Ms. Vale. I did receive this book free to review, but these thoughts and words are my own.
