Lady Grace
Belmont is a bit old for a debutante (ahem, 25), but this is
her only chance for a Season before she is married off to
the safe, but dull, neighbor her father has promised her
to. Escorted by her aunt, Lady Kate Oxbury, Grace decides
to enjoy herself – that is, until she meets the eyes of the
tall, gorgeous man who is looking at her like she is the
best dessert on the tray. But Aunt Kate informs her that
that man, Baron Dawson, is off-limits, as her father hates
the baron’s family more than anything.
Of course, Kate
can’t seem to follow her own advice. She finds herself
falling again for Dawson’s uncle, the man she had loved for
years, even though she was married to another. As their
affair heats up, her attention drifts away from Grace.
Which is just fine with Grace as she finds herself more and
more drawn to the baron, despite what her father might
think.
I wanted to like
The Naked Baron, and the story itself was
fine. I got tired of Sally MacKenzie constantly mentioning
Grace’s size (larger than most, which is what attracts the
baron). I get that he likes women who are not dainty, and
she is happy to have found someone to compliment her size,
but there were a LOT of mentions about their respective
heights and widths. Same goes with Kate’s size – she’s tiny
and that is mentioned a lot. But what I was most tired of
reading was the constant references to the men’s penises and
the fact that neither man could have a single thought that
didn’t come back to their physical desires. If you can get
past the repetitiveness of the above, the story is
interesting enough to keep you reading. |
