For the Earl's Taking

Inevitable Love #1

by Lisa Torquay

Sarah Barrow is fresh from the contryside to find a job as a servant in Lord and Lady Hawkmore's London house. Upon meeting the outrageously handsome earl, she feels inexorably drawn to him.
The instant Hugh lays eyes on Sarah, a gut-wrenching attraction for her installs itself in his body. He gets so taken with her that he forgets his position, his cold marriage and his need to produce an heir. But society's conventions prevent him from making her his mistress. All he can do is have clandestine volcanic nights with her.
Sarah is not a pushover, even though she has to remain meek to keep her job. Destiny will set in, changing her life dramatically.
Sensuality level: sensuous, sizzling.

Reviews

Just stupid

Disappointing at best. Much of the language is definitely not Victorian Age, which makes the book seem silly. After reading another book by this author that was dynamite, this one is sadly nowhere near as good....again, lots of typos and misspellings. Not worth the effort.

A great forbidden romance turned happy ever after. They had to work for what they wanted and after years about they found each other again. Sarah and Hugh are to die for

At first, Sarah gives the impression of being too meek. But as the story progresses, she will turn this around and amaze the Earl. They have a sizzling affair, but Sarah disappears when she discovers she is pregnant and is afraid of what a lord could do to her child. When they meed again, it will be as equals. A plot full of twists and surprises. Worth a check.
