Publisher's Summary

He put her on a pedestal.

When Celeste Gray arrives in the sleepy village of Brixcombe-on-the-Bay, she thinks she's one step closer to leaving her notorious past behind. She even suspects the deliciously handsome - if somewhat stuffy - viscount next door is developing a tendre for her. That is, until the day Ashlin Lancester learns she's not the unassuming spinster she's pretending to be.

Now she has farther to fall.

After a decade of proving he is nothing like his profligate father, Ash is horrified to have given his heart to a Cyprian. He launches a campaign to prove his attraction is nothing more than a sordid reaction he can't control. But he soon learns that, unlike his father, he can't find comfort in the arms of just any woman. He needs Celeste. When he takes her as his mistress, he's still not satisfied, and the many late nights in her arms only make him want more....

Love is Blind

This is a story of deciding to accept what the heart wants, regardless of what is proper according to Society. Away from Society, Ashlin and Celest have the chance to really get to know each other as she is pretending to be something she isn’t – a respectable women. Celest is one of London’s premier courtesans.

I enjoyed their love story and the way in which Ashlin proposed was truly romantic and very apropos for the characters. Ashlin’s growth through the story was well depicted. I wish that his sisters had better understood and acknowledged his feelings and why he behaved the way he did.

For me this was an average read as I had difficult connecting with the characters at times and there were parts of the story that I felt slowed it down and were unnecessary.

The narrator was pretty good and I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook.
