Beauty Tempts the Beast: A Sins for All Season Novel (Sins for All Seasons Book 6)

Benedict Trewlove, often called Beast for his ferocity, can be just as rough around the edges as any of his siblings. Just like them, however, he has a heart of gold, and when he meets Althea Stanwick, a duke’s daughter fallen from grace, he can’t help but offer to help her. He offers her a job, and a sizeable amount of money, if she can teach the women in a brothel he owns to move through respectable circles and gain better lives for themselves. She accepts, but on one condition: while she teaches the prostitutes to be respectable women, Beast must teach her how to become a seductress.

What follows is a fascinating romance, a give-and-take that keeps the two sides perfectly balanced. The desire Beast and Althea feel for one another is palpable from the first few chapters, but mixed in with breathless encounters are tender moments that show the humanity beneath the hard shell each carries. I love finding romances where both parties have reasons to be guarded, and in Lorraine Heath’s latest, half the fun is watching as each gradually lets their guard down. I fell in love—hard—at the start, and stayed that way all the way through.
