Tracy’s review of Love Revealed by Sorcha Mowbray

Lady Katherine Drummond plays by society’s rules, even after the Ton turns on her. Shunned by her peers, she keeps up appearances by day but allows her true self out in the privacy of The Market. There, in the arms of one man, she comes alive. So much so, she signs a contract to be his for six months. Despite never having seen his face and knowing him only as Sir, she fears losing her heart to the man who breaks through her defenses.

Lord Raymond Tarkenton, the Earl of Heathington, despises being one of the most sought after bachelors of the Ton. He could never ask a woman of his circle to submit to his sexual needs, and a mistress would never be an option. For now, one masked woman at The Market holds his undivided attention. When he realizes that his masked lover and Lady Katherine Drummond are one and the same, he must find a way to convince her that they are bound together by more than the straps at her wrists and the contract they signed. He must reveal himself and his love to her. But will she accept him for more than a sexual escape.

Lady Katherine Drummond has invitations into society but not many. Her late husband was known to have syphilis as that is what he died from and everyone assumes that she is infected as well. Since the marriage was never consummated there’s no chance that she could have contracted the disease. Because of her status she has discovered The Market. This is a place where she can go and receive sexual release under the cover of a mask and no one knows who she is. Her most frequent lover is a man she calls Sir. He is dominant and she loves it as she discovers a side to her sexuality that she didn’t know existed but is all for exploring.

Lord Heathington, I believe, feels that he’s almost a deviant for wanting to dominate his partner in bed and hasn’t gotten married because he wouldn’t want to scare off a wife due to his sexual appetites. He heads to The Market and discovers a woman that calls him Sir and he wants exclusively. He proposes a 6 month contract with the woman and she accepts. But when he finds out who’s behind the mask will he be able to accept her for who she is?

This was a short novella and an easy read. It had some great sex scenes that I enjoyed reading even thought I’m not a huge reader of BDSM. It was pretty much BDSM-lite and that was perfect for my reading tastes.

The relationship between Heath and Kat was strictly sexual at first until he found out who she was. I personally think that how he figured it out was a bit far-fetched but maybe that’s just me. I loved that he accepted her for herself but then there’s society to think of. At least Kat was thinking of them…not so much Heath.

The story was enjoyable and since it says that this is The Market book 1 I’ll have to see what comes next in the series.

Rating: 3.25 out of 5
