Cassandra is seamstress to the ton. She also makes sex toys for their husbands and lovers. Nathan Manning comes back from India and her past. His anger at her for leaving him waiting at their elopement causes him to blackmail her into a sexual relationship as he looks for a bride. I loved these characters. I wanted to knock Nathan upside the head for his obstinacy and anger against Cassandra. I loved Cassandra's patience. She knows why she did not show up but refuses to tell him for several reasons. The sex was hot! I loved how Cassandra's toys were used between them. The feelings behind that hotness remained true through the years they were apart. On Cassandra's part the love had deepened. Nathan had to learn what real love was. He also had to learn that all is not what he thought and that he had much to learn. I plan on reading more of Jess Michaels. I enjoy her stories. I also loved the cover on Taboo |
