Ella Quinn's bachelors are clever, charismatic--and determined to remain single. Yet one by one, they find that fate--and certain irresistible women--cast doubt on even the best laid plans. . .
Haunted by her past, Lady Caroline Martindale fled England for the solace of her godmother's palazzo in Venice. But if Caro was hoping to escape the charms of marriage-minded men, she's come to the wrong place. And she'll resort to extreme measures to spurn the advances of a dangerously determined Venetian marquis. . .
Though most of his friends have married off, Gervais, Earl of Huntley, remains bent on eluding the parson's mousetrap. But his convictions begin to falter when he arrives in Venice and meets his match in the alluring Lady Caro. What began as a hastily concocted lie to save her from the marquis may become a chance for them both to relinquish their fear--and embrace what they can no longer deny. . .

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I enjoyed this story to begin with but by half way their was too many mentions of food menu's and the heroine began to irritate me. She was selfish and the hero had done everything he could for her....I was disappointed.I received a free copy of this title from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Book Four in the series yet this book is stand alone. This reader did not feel as though she had missed anything by not reading the preceding novels.The heroine suffers a tragic event prior to this novel and escapes societal norms by going to stay with her godmother. Initially the heroine seems a fairy weak character but once her backstory is explained and through her relationship with the hero she becomes emboldened. As with most historic novels, the heroine hates the conventions of the day but due to circumstances has to adhere to them and in so doing finds her true love. Equally I initially found the hero annoying but in a likeable way.The novel is fast paced and yet enough time is given (mid novel) to explore the blossoming relationship between the two main characters. The characters are not too complex but given just enough depth to be engaging. The addition of a secondary love story, which one would expect to have detracted from the main storyline yet does not, was refreshing and a joy to read.Along with the love story and the other intermingled subplots the reader is treated to a visual and flavoursome feast as the couple travel through historic Europe. However, as with most historic romances, the ending is pretty much a foregone conclusion. Indeed it does what is says on the tin.Full Disclosure: ARC received from Netgalley for an honest review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5DESIRING LADY CARO by Ella Quinn is a deliciously wicked Regency Historical Romance set in 1816 London, Venice and other parts of France. #4 in "The Marriage Mart" series, but can be read as a stand alone. See, THE SEDUCTION OF LADY PHOEBE, THE SECRET LIFE OF ANNA MARCH, and THE TEMPTATION OF LADY SERENA.Fast paced from beginning to end. A spicy Regency romance.

Gervais,who is visiting his Aunt Horatia, just so happens to be Caro's Godmamma, is determined to keep her safe, even if he has to marry her himself. So off they go against Italy,on the run from Caro's stalker.Caro, aka,the Ice Maiden, has a harsh past, she had a tragic event happen when she was younger, because of a scoundrel who she refused, years earlier.Gervais, is or was determined not to marry until he needs an heir.While, emotional at times, it has witty moments also. Well developed characters which are engaging as well as realistic. The storyline is intriguing. The secondary characters are just as engaging. A couple of them find their HEA also, including none, other, than Aunt Horatia.Can a marriage of convenience turn into the love of a lifetime? You must read DESIRING LADY CARO to find out the answer. You will not regret your choice.Gervais, is such a kind, considerate, and strong hero. Very careful of Caro's feeling about her past and their future, he learns early on what her past involves. Caro is repressed, but soon comes out of her repression, how could she not with a hero such as Gervais.Well written with vivid descriptions of the setting. Well done, Ms. Quinn!
