*Though this is the 7th book the author has written for the ‘Naked’ series, it should be read BEFORE the ‘The Naked Gentleman’.
You will rarely see me write about a historical romance, as a rarely read them myself, but the ‘Naked’ series is an exception. Thanks to a suggestion from my Momma (you’re the best!!) I read the first 4 full length books, The Naked Duke; The Naked Marquis; The Naked Earl; The Naked Gentleman, in early 2010. I did not read her 5th full length book as it was written later but based several years prior to ‘The Naked Gentleman’.
“The Naked Viscount” depicts the story of Lady Jane Parker-Roth, sister of John Parker-Roth from ‘The Naked Gentleman’, and Lord Edmund Smyth, Viscount of Motton. Jane is spending her 8th season in London, being chaperoned to the many Ton balls and society parties by her mother while staying in the town home next door to Lord Motton’s estate. Jane finds Edmund in the homes library and sparks fly. Sexy, Sneaky Edmund is searching for pieces of a puzzle and Jane just happens to be the perfect person to help him solve it, all the while hiding their blooming feelings (duh) for each other from Edmunds over bearing Aunts, who can’t wait to see him married and producing an heir.
So far this book is my favorite in the series, I was skeptical as I already knew, from ‘The Naked Gentleman’, how this story will pan out. Jane and Edmund are both very strong characters and they balance each other out perfectly, and hearing about them search for well endowed statues of Pan all over London is a riot. Especially when Jane happens upon a very strong aphrodisiac, while her and Edmund are crashing an orgy. As you can probably guess we get a happy ending, which honestly never gets old, and a set-up for the next one. Now if only I can wait until 2011 for “The Naked King” to come out. I love me some Stephen!! You’ll see, if you get to reading.
