BLURB:
His brother's untimely death leaves him with an Earldom and a fiancée. Too bad he wants neither of them...
Theodora Lawton has no need of a husband. As an independent woman, she wants to own property, make investments and be the master of her destiny. Unfortunately, her father signed her life away in a marriage contract to the future Earl of Stonemere. But then the cad upped and died, leaving her fate in the hands of his brother, one of the renowned Lustful Lords.
Achilles Denton, the Earl of Stonemere, is far more prepared to be a soldier than a peer. Deeply scarred by his last tour of duty, he knows he will never be a proper, upstanding pillar of the empire. Balanced on the edge of madness, he finds respite by keeping a tight rein on his life, both in and out of the bedroom. His brother’s death has left him with responsibilities he never wanted and isn’t prepared to handle in the respectable manner expected of a peer.
Further complicating his new life is an unwanted fiancée who comes with his equally unwanted title. Saddled with a hand-me-down countess, he soon discovers the woman is a force unto herself. As he grapples with the burden of his new responsibilities, he discovers someone wants him dead. The question is, can he stay alive long enough to figure out who’s trying to kill him while he tries to tame his headstrong wife?
Review:
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
Warning, spoilers will follow.
The Lustful lords are indeed very lustful. We can be assured of that by the orgy that's taking place in the first chapter of the book. I always love getting know the characters by their sexual orientations first. I usually check a book I am about to read for a few words like cheat and another to find out if the book has an unpleasant surprise for me. I found out that there is an M/F/M scene in the book. The thing is I hate M/F/M scenes when we are not talking about a triad. I don't understand why the third person has to be added. In this case, Stone has some regrets so I kinda felt better. Honestly, the whole situation threw me off because there is just so much sex, or thoughts about it and I wasn't able to finish the book. I don't plan on continuing the series or reading a book by this author again. I wanted to read a historical romance and it didn't feel that way. I was in for a kinkier romance, but this book and its kinkiness is not for me. I don't think I will be able to read the whole book even if I take frequent breaks.
P.S What's up with all the Greek names? Theodora? Achilles? Odessey? It's like they are in the wrong country.

AUTHOR BIO:
Sorcha Mowbray is a mild mannered office worker by day…okay, so she is actually a mouthy, opinionated, take charge kind of gal who bosses everyone around; but she definitely works in an office. At night she writes romance so hot she sets the sheets on fire! Just ask her slightly singed husband.
She is a longtime lover of historical romance, having grown up reading Johanna Lindsey and Judith McNaught. Then she discovered Thea Devine and Susan Johnson. Holy cow! Heroes and heroines could do THAT? From there, things devolved into trying her hand at writing a little smexy. Needless to say, she liked it and she hopes you do too!
