A Hint of Seduction

Catherine Reynolds has lived her entire life in the country, delaying her season for two years while the man she has called father dies. During this time period, she discovers her mother’s journals that state that the man Catherine has always called father, is not. There are three names of possible men. While she goes to London for her introduction into society, with the pretext of finding a suitable mate, Catherine determines she will discover the identity of her father.

John Wickenham-Thickenham-Fines (you’ll get over it) is a handsome rogue, part of the Terrible Threesome, and consummate ladies man.

On an early morning outing, Catherine’s horse nearly collides with John’s award winning racing gelding, The General. He’s in the middle of a race with a young man who feels slighted because John turned down the opportunity to marry his sister. Catherine is unseated, and when she makes sense of her situation, she “borrows” John’s horse to finish her mission.

The incident is blown out of proportion in the scandal sheets. John becomes the laughing stock of the Ton at the mysterious woman seen riding his mount. Surprisingly John lost more than his horse, he finds he’s also lost his wayward heart.

The cover of this novel stated that if you like Amanda Quick, Amelia Grey was the next author for you. I’ll admit, I was leery of such a claim. Amanda Quick is one of my favorites, and I truly doubted Amelia Grey would contend. Much to my delight, I was mistaken. I loved this book. The characters are warm and genuine. I found several hours passed and I was at the end of a fantastic read. I will be buying her backlist (I’ll keep you posted if they all match up so well). This is definitely a Recommended Read!
