Her Wicked Libertine by Lisa Torquay: Review

I’ve been really lucky with my review books the last few weeks. I’ve actually found some absolute treasures.

This week I am excited to share with you a book that is written by an author who reached out to me. I try to help out with independent authors as much as I can and she caught me at a great time. I have to say I’m so happy that I decided to read this book.

This book was so much more than I expected! For those historical romance lovers, trust me, this is not just another romance story. Read on for my full review.

ABOUT:
When a prudish spinster…

Miss Edwina Whitman had a repressively religious education. For her, a woman must endure a gentleman’s attentions. But when she sees herself face to face with a dark angel proposing the most wicked deal, she accepts it for her sister, who deserves a future. But the blasting libertine won’t allow her to think of king and country in his presence. In fact, she forgets even her own name when he touches her.

Meets a shameless libertine…

Harris Darroch is no hero. Not a romantic one in any case. His libertine reputation puts his heroic prowess exclusively in the bedchamber. And he will bed any and every willing woman in sight. But when a prudish lady approaches him begging him to write off her father’s debt, he sees no reason not to enlist her buttoned-up person to his bed for the trouble. Living in close quarters with her is building up a desire, the likes of which he’s never seen before. Though wanting him, the little shrew remains aloof. Practising his ‘convincing’ skills on her will be an utter delight!

Love will lurk in the shadows to catch them!

Her Wicked Libertine by Lisa Torquay Review

You definitely have to have an open mind to be able to read this one. Like I said prior, this is not a typical historical romance. This is flaming hot right from the beginning.

The author does not hold much back and what I find the most appealing about this story is not just the sexy scenes, (those are amazing, by the way), but the way they both finally realize that they’re perfect for each other.

It’s a slow burn.
The need.
The addiction.
The flames and the desire Torquay beautifully expresses keep you in a slow burn too.

Torquay creates an historical romance that is unlike any other I’ve read. Hella hot build up that compels you to turn those pages as quickly as possible. I was just addicted to this book as the main characters were to each other.

While this is my first story by this author, I’m definitely grabbing more. If this is any indication of her typical story, I’m all in.
