For the notorious and penniless rake Lord Horatio Thornton seduction is an art not a vice. So, when his sister, the Duchess of Wycombe, suggests a delectably devilish and lucrative wager, Thornton’s interest is piqued to the extent that he cannot refuse.
The die has been cast in this tale oozing decadence and deception in the style of Dangerous Liaisons, the famous French eighteenth century novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
But unlike in eighteenth century France, love triumphs in Regency England. For Lord Thornton, the libertine, who never fails in his art of seduction, has met his match in Lady Patience Kavanagh. It is the story of how a notorious scoundrel falls in love with the purity and perfection of the lady he merely had to seduce––Patience is no dalliance but a woman to be loved.

All Christian Faulkner ever wanted to do was write his own books. For years after toiling away in a career in finance, he started doing precisely that for numerous publishing platforms until the day one of his creations became a bestseller on Amazon! It was a Regency Romance Novel. Soon after came another and then another until Faulkner finally realized it was time for him to strike out on his own.
He is finally doing what he wants to do on a daily basis. There is no greater gift in life than to be able to do what one loves for a living. And Faulkner says that he has Jane Austin, Georgette Heyer and some of the more modern Regency authors to thank for that. He found his historical niche and its cozy.
Join him on this exciting voyage among the dukes, duchesses, marquesses, lords and ladies, and smallfolk alike. There really is nothing quite like navigating society and love in a minefield of etiquette that takes no prisoners.
From the beginning this book as hard going for me. The hero was despicable, though I assume he redeemed himself by the end of the book. The heroine wasn't all that appealing to me. She was the typical beauty -- angelic and full of good works. The hero's sister was worthy of hating.
Some of the language used and the circumstances didn't fit the Regency period. These stories are fantasy, but I don't think a truly loving and protective father would let his daughter go about with a well-known rake.
