Written in today speak with a nod towards the historical details, you really get a love story for the ages. This new release by Sabrina Jeffries I was able to review is a delightful and entertaining read I think you’ll enjoy.

A marriage of convenience ignites into a passionate love affair in the hotly anticipated second novel in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries’s addictive Sinful Suitors series!
When Edwin Barlow, the Earl of Blakeborough, agrees to help his best friend’s impetuous ward, Lady Clarissa Lindsey, in her time of need, he knows he’s in for trouble. He’s been hunting for someone to wed, and she’ll just get in the way. Although captivated by the witty, free-spirited beauty, he fears she’d be all wrong as a wife…if she would even take such a gruff cynic for her husband. Yet he wants nothing more than to have her for his own.
Clarissa has no intention of marrying anyone—not Edwin, whom she’s sure would be an overbearing husband, and certainly not the powerful French diplomat stalking her. But when matters escalate with the diplomat, she chooses Edwin’s gallant offer of a marriage between friends in hopes that it will deter her stalker. She expects nothing more than an amiable union, but their increasingly tempestuous kisses prove more than she bargained for. When her stalker’s vow to expose the lovers’ deepest secrets threatens to destroy their blossoming attraction, will their tenuous bond withstand public ruin, or will Edwin lose all that’s important to him to protect his bride?
My Review of The Study of Seduction
I’ve read several of Sabrina Jeffries books now and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. She really knows how to involve the reader and keep you entertained without so much of the heavy historical aspects in her stories. This new book is heavy on the heat and tension between the male/female relationship and not overly heavy in excess details. A perfect balance.
The tension that she includes with the relentless suitor is a unique twist to the story that offers a lot of interest and adds so much to the base storyline. You really get to know Edwin and Clarissa in the story and it’s fun to watch them realize their love for each other.
Add in a little mystery and intrigue and you have the basis for relaxing, entertaining romance novel that was hard to put down. I ended up reading it all in one night because it was just that good. Another Sabrina Jeffries novel not to be missed. She knows how to write historical romance novels perfectly.
