Oh, gosh.
Q:
“Set the world afire. Just let me hand you the matches.” (c) Isn't that cute?
Q:

Loved it! Not your usual historical romance with an unconventional heroine and leading man. Couldn't put it down! Definitely one to put on your "to read" list.

I was drawn to this book by the somewhat different introduction for historical romance genre - "old spinster" hires a male prostitute for her 30th birthday...

Maybe it is a blessing when one can pass the difficult themes in as lighter way as it was portrayed in this b ...more

Another great story from Lisa Kleypas! This one is a bit different. Amanda Briars is a spinster facing her 30th birthday and decides to hire a male prostitute as she wants to see what she has been missing. When Jack Devlin shows up at her door, she thinks he is the man sent to her from Mrs. Bradshaw's establishment. Things heat up from there! Great story!!

Are there any books about the side characters in this book?
