Forewarned: This novel does not include a courtesan heroine. Sorry. :) That said this novel will provide you with a very good time.

Mia Castellano is going home in a disgrace from a failed engagement. One misplaced kiss ruins everything respectable about her in the eyes of the ton and Lord David Pennistan. She knows her life will have to change, the original course it was on can no longer be and to that end she decides she wants to be an independent lady. If she’s already scandalous, why not add a little more scandal to the mix? Her ideas about courtesans are especially scandalous.

Too scandalous for David, who could care less about escorting Mia back to her ward’s and his brother’s home. He will because doing so will gain him an audience with his brother and the chance to petition him for financial backing on his mill project. This mill project means everything to him and is his bid for financial independence from his brother. He understands it will change the ton’s opinion on him but he doesn’t care. He will never be helpless again.

Favorite Scene: Mia fishing in her under things and David coming across her. It’s adorable.

About the only thing I could truly have done without was the whole reason for them to get sequestered. If it was anything but what is was—the fear of contagion, disease, sickness—I would have enjoyed it more.

I have the one of the earlier book in the series on my TBR shelf. I think I just may dust it off – even if it might turn the Mia I know and love in Courtesan’s Kiss into a less than desirable character (which there are allusions too throughout.)

Rating: 3.5 Stars

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
