A Well Pleasured Lady

Written by Christina Dodd

Narrated by Carmen Rose

New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd brings you romance, intrigue, and passion in her most boldly sexual story yet! A Well Pleasured Lady is not for the timid...

Prim, plain, desperately virtuous Lady Mary Fairchild stares at the seductive gentleman and wonders—does he remember the night they met? Surely not. In the ten years since, she left behind her youthful impetuousness and transformed herself into a housekeeper—disguising her beauty beneath a servant's dour clothing.

But Sebastian Durant, Viscount Whitfield, recognizes Mary as a Fairchild, one of his family's bitter enemies. When he demands her help recovering a stolen diary, she dares not refuse him. When he proposes they masquerade as a betrothed couple, loyalty forces her to agree. And when the restraint between them shatters and pleasure became an obsession, Mary has to trust a powerful man who could send her to the gallows ..or love her through eternity.

I liked this book for the first part. Then I hated it. Who in God's name ever thought that rape was sexy??? Because that's exactly what it was. Mary was flat-out raped, and the fact that we're supposed to like the guy who did this almost made me vomit. I lost any sympathy for the hero at that point. He claims to love her - and I don't believe a bit of it. He's cruel, selfish, and a rapist to boot. And his attempt at an "apology" later is pathetic. Disgusting

I have enjoyed reading several of Christina Dodd's book and found this one lacking.Lady Guinevere Mary Fairchild and her brother ran away from their home after having something to do with a man's death. Mary ended up working as head housekeeper for Lady Valery who is notorious for having clandestine liasonss with members of the parliament. Unfortunately, the details of her liasons were added to her diary which has been stolen by someone in the Fairchild family and she asks for her godson's (Lord Sebastian Durant's) help to get it back.Her plot is to have Sebastian announce his engagement to Mary and return to the Fairchild estate to find the diary.After the beginning, the story seemed to lag and I didn't feel the love between the two main characters. To me it seemed all about the sex and getting revenge. I think it could have had stronger characters throughout the whole book. This was a disappointment to me since I've enjoyed so many of Ms. Dodd's other books.
