WICKED PLEASURES by Helen Dickson, Harl Historical, Nov. 07.
Wicked schemes are afoot at Westwood Hall this Christmas. And lovely, innocent Adeline Osbourne will be ensnared by dark, dashing Grant Leighton and a scandalous assignation.
Betrothed against her will, Adeline had been resigned to a loveless marriage. At the mercy of her father's wishes, she had lost all hope of experiencing what life really had to offer. But now a scandal has altered her destiny. Adeline secretly thanks the festive season for working its magic -- promising pleasures long denied her.
While overall I enjoyed the book, there were words/situations that I really don't believe would have been used/happened to characters of their station in life in the Victorian time period. These instances pulled me out of the story.
