Courtesan... the word that countless times before was one to despise when ever Caroline heard it. But after her mother buys a soon-to-be husband for her, Caroline starts to think that the life of a courtesan is the one she wants to live. but when she meets the Earl of Ashdon and receives strands of Perls, her opinions of being a courtesan changes some what drastically. As far as Lord Ashdon's opinion goes he couldn't be happier about her decision to become a courtesan... or so he lets us think. But I leave that for you guys to decide once you read the story for yourself.
I loved this book so much when I picked it up and actually started reading it. I know I hate to admit it because I loath people that do this but I actual bought the book because I really like the front cover of the book. It just grabed my attention, seemingly screaming at me to buy it. And so I did. Its a rare historical romance in my opinion. One, because the history is actually all over the book and not just a very weak back set and two, because it was more than just a romance. There is an actual mystery throughout the book that involves Caroline's mother and who she is and her very-or so most people think- extravagant life as a courtesan and all the many pleasures that come along with the job title in more than one way.
I give this book and an A++ because of the real life history alone along with the romance that captures ones attention right away. I was able to just step into Caroline's body and become her and fell what she was felling from the very beginning. I would how ever give this book a mature reading rate for ages 18+. What with all of the sexual references and sex its self as well as many other adult themes .
As always happy reading , Enjoy!
