No, I don’t have an ARC (release date is Sept 2008) of it, even though I’d do just about anything to get one.
When I went to Jo Goodman’s website last night to see exactly which book I wanted to recommend to Caryoln Jean, what greets me on the page but The Prince of Desire?
Sybil has already posted about it, but I felt the need to do a little squeeing of my own.
Olivia Cole is devastated to learn that her ne’re-do well brother has promised her to the operator of a London gaming hall as payment of his debts. Olivia accepts her fate-even if it means that her reputation will suffer from living among rouges and gamblers. But when she meets the sexy and mysterious Griffin Wright-Jones, the Viscount of Breckenridge, Olivia has more than her good name to worry about-for he rouses in her wanton thoughts she’s never dared entertain-until now…
Griffin wears the scars of his life on his striking face, Although he wants Olivia like no other woman before, he doesn’t force her to share his bed-a difficult task considering how beautiful she is. But with each passing night Griffin and Olivia’s resolve weakens until finally they take their greatest gamble on one night of reckless pleasure…
SQUEE!!!!!
Never read anything by her. But I’m not a big historical fan.
I’ve just started getting into Goodman’s books, and this one sounds amazing. Adding it to my list….
Squeeeeeeeee, indeed.
