review 1: Aristcrat Evan Blake has made a rule never to seduce or become involved with a servant, as she may say yes and may be tossed into the street. Until the day Marian Willows comes to Blake Manor as the neice of the housekeeper to work. She was sent by her parents after some indiscretions (?) she had made.They are passionately attracted to each other, but the difference of their social status comes between them as Evan Blake will not give up his inheritance and place at Blake Manor to marry a commoner. Marian leaves for Paris to insue her writing career as a more "risqu" writer. As the French revolution begins, Evan Blake goes to Paris as a spy, but also to bring back Miss Willows back to London. I liked this book with the character of Marian Willows as a very strong, intelleg... moreent, independent woman. Although she was broken apart by Evan Blake and never stopped loving him, she went to Paris, alone, and became a well known writer of provacative stories. She became wealthy in her own right. It's nice to see the female character strong and assertive. Some of the historical information may not have been totally accurate, but if I wanted that, I would google French Revolution. I read it for the story, and it was great. Great romance too!! I would certainly read more of her work.
review 2: Amazon Freebie 10/10/2012Book Description: Passion will bring them together...but pride may rip them apart.Dashing aristocrat Evan Blake has seduced some of London's most beautiful women, but he has one ironclad rule: never touch a servant, because she must say 'yes' or risk losing her livelihood.That rule is sorely tested the day Marian Willows comes to work at Blakewell Manor. Mischievous, smart, and independent, Marian challenges everything Evan thought he knew about women, life, and love.But reality cannot be ignored. Master and servant, aristocrat and commoner...even as passion unites them, society's rules and the couple's own prideful natures tear them apart.When Marian's life is in danger, will Evan risk everything he has - his money, his title, his life - to save the woman he loves?Set in England and Paris during the years of the French Revolution, PASSION AND PRIDE is about illicit desire, forbidden romance, and a love that conquers all.83,000 words. Warning: contains several very explicit sensual scenes. less
