How To Woo… A Reluctant Bride: A Steamy Victorian Romance Novella

by Lyndi Lamont

An eager bridegroom... a reluctant bride.. and a copy of the Kama Sutra. A marriage contract, nothing more...until darkly handsome Evan Channing and demure Lydia Blatchford meet. Yet the rules are simple for an arrangement such as theirs. There should be no misunderstanding, no illusions of anything more. But the rules are about to change. Lydia wants the kind of love and romance she reads about in books. Fortunately, she hasn't specified which book, and Evan has a copy of Richard Burton's new translation of the Kama Sutra, with its ancient wisdom on love and courtship. Evan sets out to win his high-born bride, blending seductive heat with exotic lessons in love-making. Lydia is prepared to tolerate this man she’s been sold to, but his scorching kisses send her pulses racing. Can an arranged marriage lead to love? Grab a copy now to find out! (Previously published under the title Love… By the Book ) This is a short 30 page romantic short story, not a full-length novel. Contains scenes of Victorians breaking society's rules, marital sex and ancient wisdom from the Kama Sutra.

I really enjoyed this novella, in that the conflict was real. Highborn, English lady, Lydia is forced to marry Evan who has Indian blood and is from a merchant background. Evan is determined to introduce her to passion by the book - the Karmasutra. Beautifully written. Very sensuous. I want more of Ms Lamont's work.

This little story was tacked onto the end (and not even listed in the description) of the bundle of Romance novels I downloaded.
