Well I have changed my mind, I'm a woman, it is allowed. I am growing quite fond of time period pieces, and I have a feeling Liz Carlyle is going to be one of my favorites.
'Tempted All Night' tells the story of Phae Northhampton, whom we met in 2007's 'Never Lie to a Lady'. She's quite the proper lady on the outside, but lucky for Tristan (you can't help loving a bad boy), she's quite the opposite of proper on the inside. Rogue Tristan "Don't call me Lord Avoncliffe" Talbot, is immediately taken with Phae, and although he hates the thought of "taking" a Lady he can't seem to help himself. To Tristan's surprise, and I'd say pleasure, Phaedra isn't quite the Lady she likes to have everyone believe.
When Lady Phae lets him in on why she can't seem to stay away from a particular brothel, the one his father asks him to investigate, Tristan can't seem to resist helping. With a little help from friends and Phae's brothers clothes the duo discovers exactly what's going on behind closed doors. Now the only question is, can the 2 of them keep what's between them hidden. Phaedra thinks so, but lucky for her Tristan has another idea. Warning: this story contains shackles.

Main Characters:Zoe Armstrong; Stuart "Mercer" Rowland; Robert Rowland
'Wicked All Day' follows shortly after the epilogue of 'Tempted All Day'. Miss Zoe Armstrong, the motherless daughter of a Marquess, refuses to marry. I understand her point, although she's gorgeous most men only want her for her wealth. Robert "Robin" and Stuart (Marquess of Mercer) Rowland have known and watched out for Zoe since they were children, but when Robin is caught with Zoe literally on his lap Mercer forces them into an engagement he hopes saves Zoe's reputation.
Robin and Mercer's Mother and Step Father invite Zoe and family to Mercer's country estate, and although Robin and Zoe are now betrothed Mercer finds himself realizing that he's been in love with her...probably forever. With Robin annoying everyone and treating his supposed bff Zoe like garbage, she turns to Mercer. When she realizes it's always been him she turns to, Zoe knows she has to make a decision. Follow her fathers wishes, or follow her heart.
All in all the 2 books together were fabulously fun and not too difficult to get through. Plus, we learn that a mistress can be a wife, who woulda thunk it.
