After her husband’s death, Elizabeth Ashton knows she must remarry ― and fast. But not just any man will do. She must find Lord Ashton’s long-lost bastard nephew and convince him to wed, cementing his claim to the family fortune and rescuing Elizabeth from certain ruin. Her desperate search will reveal a world she never knew existed ― and a love she never dreamed possible… Forced into prostitution to protect his darkest secret, Gideon spends his days pleasuring London’s wealthiest women. Only one hope burns inside his guarded heart: that someday he will escape the gilded confines of Lady Lavender’s brothel and reclaim his freedom. When a widow hires him for a two-week-long seduction at her country estate, he spies his chance ― never imagining the young beauty will reawaken a passion he thought long dead… Bound by desire, only together are they strong enough to face their enemies ― and to claim the promise of love.

About the Author As a child, Lori Brighton relished the thought of a life filled with adventure in far-off places. Determined to become an archaeologist, she earned a degree in anthropology ― only to discover that digging in the dirt beneath the punishing sun wasn’t much fun. She packed up her love of history and took a job in an air-conditioned museum, yet still her thirst for adventure wasn’t satisfied. And so she began to write, bringing the people in her imagination to life on the printed page. With her debut novel Wild Heart, she finally married her loves of history and adventure. Today she is the author of more than a half-dozen historical romance, paranormal romance, and young-adult novels.

It is not a regency romance in style, plus it is set in the Victorian era rather than the Regency. It was much more erotic than most period romances, yet the most unique aspect of this novel was the plot itself. It was suspenseful, it was captivating--I couldn't stop turning the pages. It was a brilliant plot.Ms Brighton is very good at setting the scence and introducing her characters. Her descriptions of the male protagonist, Gideon, truly brought to light his complex and mysterious nature. Although he was obviously an imposing figure, and thought himself a bit of a brute, the author always manages to show an alternate side to Gideon. In many ways he was a man in need of rescue, and what woman can resist when such a powerful and virile man needs her to rescue him? Certainly the lead female, Elizabeth, couldn't.The relationship between the two is stormily passionate at best and rather harsh at it's worst. However, the two characters overcome their individual issues and realise that they are perfect together. Life has been hard for both of them and it takes them a while to appreciate what they have found. And now that they've found it, neither one of them is going to let anything ruin it. Although there's plenty of people who will try to do just that...Definitely give this one a read. You won't be disappointed by the plot, plus the eroticism is very well-written and is a nice addition to the novel. It is assuredly a part of the story, rather than being added in for the sake of it. That makes all the difference in my opinion.

A different kind of romantic "hero" but I didn't love him By Sandy Kay This is the second book in the author's Seduction Series, that features men who work in Lady Lavender's brothel. I have not read the first one, To Seduce an Earl (The Seduction Series). I think it might help to read that book to get a better idea of how these men were forced to work as male prostitutes. Also, Alex (the hero of that book) is mentioned frequently in this book.The idea of a male prostitute as a romantic hero is interesting but tricky. Obviously the idea is to show how the love of a woman can change them, but I want to like my romantic heroes enough to cheer for them to have a happy ending with the heroine. Gideon starts out the book so unlikeable, the only reason Elizabeth sticks with him is her desperation. Gideon does undergo a change over the course of the book but even near the end he is not my idea of a romantic hero.Elizabeth made a promise she felt had to fulfill, but I didn't understand why she otherwise felt so powerless against her enemy. (I won't spoil the plot by saying any more.) She had lots of money -- presumably more than her enemy and should have been able to use her financial security to protect herself.The ending didn't give me that *zing* of happiness for the characters that is a mark of a great romance. I didn't even get teary-eyed and I'll cry at almost anything.It is unlikely that I will read any of the rest of this series.

By Susan Sloate, Best-selling author of FORWARD TO CAMELOT and STEALING FIRE I will shamelessly admit that I do enjoy romance novels - when the author abandons category for characterization and cliche for fresh story and depth. TO CAPTURE A RAKE is billed as a steamy romance novel, but in fact the love (sex) scenes are far apart and separated mostly by tedious and endlessly repetitious pages wherein the male prostitute and the innocent-who-is-not-all-she-seems-to-be yearn for each other separately and cannot communicate at all when they're together. Needless to say, this doesn't give the reader much to excite her.The idea of a romantic hero being a male prostitute living in a gilded cage is a nice twist on the standard romantic setup, though the author makes it very clear from the beginning that Gideon is no pushover and in fact expects always to dominate his female clients. Of course Elizabeth, our heroine who has her own reasons for needing him in her bed, even though she has to buy his time to get him there, immediately and inadvertently (is it ever any other way in romantic fiction?) exerts a bewitching effect on Gideon, and he on her, though they are not together for more than half a page before someone insults or pushes away the other and they separate - and once they separate, the author makes painfully clear how much they're attracted. Try reading this for 100 pages; it's really tough.I gave it two stars for the unique setup, which unfortunately is not borne out in the rest of the book. The fact is, almost nothing actually HAPPENS in this novel - and unfortunately, when the first third goes by with almost no plot movement, the rest of the book can't save it. The romantic fiction I do admire is fast-paced, plot heavy, and with a sense that the characters have lives to live and things they have to do, apart from their overwhelming attraction. This gives the reader some grounding, not to mention a reason to keep turning the pages. TO CAPTURE A RAKE is romantic fare with almost no plot, clumsy, cliched prose and even worse, very little romance. Without those, what's there to keep a reader around?
