But when Sinjin seduces Katelyn, giving her just a taste of his legendary sensual skills, she can only imagine herself in his bed every night ....

My rating: 2 stars

My review: Where to start with this book? The ridiculous plot? I love romances and hot romances but the plot was too much even for me. The wooden writing? Or the hero's name Sinjin? Uh, no one is actually NAMED Sinjin; it's how one pronounces the name St. John. Or the fact that the hero and the heroine get it on, like, ten minutes after they meet?

965. Dangerous Deisres (Julia Templeton)

Synopsis from Amazon:
Rochford Manor, outside London, 1810: When her dying father entrusts her to the care of Dominic Santrell, one of London's most infamous rakes, Arlie Whitman is thrust into a world of elegance and privilege she had never imagined. But her initiation into society is nowhere near as frightening as the powerful desire she feels for Dominic himself. The dark and dashing earl claims that she needs a husband, but Arlie knows she needs only Dominic. Dominic had vowed never to marry. In his experience, love was, at best, an evening's pleasure. Yet the parade of young men courting his ward is unbearable. Arlie's innocent beauty haunts his dreams. The passion they share cannot be denied... But desire can be dangerous.
