Lessons in seduction.

The woman no one notices....

Shy heiress Alice Lusk is tired of being overlooked by every bachelor. Something has to change, else she’ll be forced to marry a man whose only desire is her fortune. She needs to become a siren, a woman who causes a man’s blood to run hot...and she’s just met the perfect rogue to help teach her.

He’s the life of every party....

Christopher “Kit” Ward plans to open a not-so-reputable supper club in New York City, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to hire the best chef in the city to guarantee its success. Even if it requires giving carnal lessons to a serious-minded spinster who has an in with the chef.

Their bedroom instruction grows passionate, and Alice is a much better pupil than Kit had ever anticipated. When the Society gentlemen start to take notice, Kit has to try to win Alice in other ways...but is he too late to win her heart?

Featured Article: The Gilded Age in History and Fiction


While fans of Julian Fellowes’s Gilded Age may be gagging on the luxurious costumes and sumptuous sets, part of the fun is sorting out fact from fiction in the HBO period drama. With a mix of invented characters and actual historical figures—such as society queen Caroline Astor and African American newspaper editor and civil rights leader T. Thomas Fortune—enthusiasts have plenty of resources available so they can learn the truth about the extravagant era when wealthy railroad magnates and other arrivistes were upending late 19th-century New York City society and culture.

Solid romance with a good heroine

This is a tough one. I love the strong female leads in Joanna Shupe’s work, but I sometimes have trouble fully connecting with the romance. Not sure what it was. This one was steamy-ish, fine banter, good character development, fun situations. Maybe it was something about the pacing. I finished this one, but more slowly than I normally do. And I didn’t have trouble putting it down. Basically: a fun light read to keep you busy when you don’t want your sleep ruined by a page-turner.

The Narrator Gets Lucky

The narrator really made me stick it out and read til the end. I love Joanna Shupe's work but this series has been a bit slow or just hard for me to get through. I will say I enjoyed this book far more than the first in the series.

Loved the Plot

I enjoyed the story as a whole. The plot was well developed and I liked the characters. My problem was with the voices. The narration was fine, but the voices needed improvement. It was such a distraction that I considered not finishing the book.

Lady becomes a vixen

Very fun book, Enjoyed the lessons given by the hero nice slow burn with sweet ending. I didn't really like the narrator's male voice and pace but I did get used to it. Another solid Shupe book!

Way too many words

Good steamy sex but boring endless descriptions of main characters’ thinking and indecisiveness. Had to jump ahead many times to skip these frequent boring narrations. The narrator’s voice was grating and harsh, spoiled it, along with the descriptive diarrhea.
