Heat rating:
Inspired by "The Emperor's New
Clothes," "The Ugly Duckling," and "The Princess and the Pea," Lila
DiPasqua spins three sexy tales that give new meaning to the term
bedtime story...
The Marquis' New Clothes — To save her cousin, Aimee de Miran must
retrieve a jeweled ring from the most sinfully seductive man at court,
the Marquis de Nattes. But to search his considerable wardrobe she'll
have to get very close to the notorious rake...and soon she finds
herself very close to him, indeed, with his clothes—and hers—utterly
forgotten.
The Lovely Duckling — Reputed for his carnal skills, Joseph d'Alumbert
prefers amorous encounters without emotional entanglement—until a
quick-witted lady stirs tender feelings and hot desire. Emilie de
Sarron suffered burns to her body as an infant, and keeps her scars—and
her heart—well hidden. But Joseph is determined to peel away her
inhibitions, one slow steamy kiss at a time, to reveal the beautiful
swan inside.
The Princess and the Diamonds — Princess Gabrielle can't sleep at
night. There is something hard in her bed. No, not just the stolen
diamonds tucked under her mattress, but the handsome Marquis on
it...whose carnal talents she can't resist. But he threatens her secret
mission, and worse, she stands to lose far more than the diamonds—her
heart is at stake.
It's been so long since I read this book that I can't remember much of
it but I do know that the writing is good as I've read other books my
this author before and enjoyed it.
The first story, The Marquis' New Clothes was a fun story and good.
The second one was what stumped me. I think I got partway through the
story and I just could not tolerate what the hero was doing and it did
not sit well with me. In my status update of my reading progress, I
said "I'm partway through the second story in the book and I've not
been able to continue. The actions of the hero, no matter how well
intentioned, do not sit well with me. I can tell the whole thing is
just about to go to pot." If I had read on things would have probably
turned around fairly quickly since they were short-ish stories, but I
just could not bring myself to keep going as I was so put off by the
hero.
The last story, The Princess and the Diamonds, I did not read as I
never got to it and I'm one of those OCD people who need to read things
in order.
I am still going to give this book 3 stars because I enjoyed the first
story and in general, it was all very well written. It would be unfair
to score the book down just because of one story where I didn't agree
with what the hero was doing.
