Society wallflower Diana always wanted to experience Adventurous life like her courtesan sister Ivory.
When she swaps places to witness an orgy, she finds her fiancée Stephan there instead and makes a run.
She ends up in the arms of wicked rake Lucien and they end up experiencing many forbidden pleasures.
Like other SP, this had equal parts love, orgies, anal, adventures, rimming, threesomes and as usual the couple were faithful to each other.
Started out really good but the story dwindled in the middle.
Averagely good read.
3/5

1) I do NOT like the word "pet". Please no more
2) This is the first time I forgot I was reading a short story. I REALLY wanted this book to be longer!!

Another fabulous regency by Sharon Page!
Once again, she captured my attention from beginning to end. This is exactly the type of sexy romance I love to read: tons of naughty but also sweet moments. Nicely done!

It's been years since I read Sharon Page and I so remember why I enjoyed her writing. The Gentleman Seduced was fun, sexy and left a smile on my face. I really enjoyed both of the characters--Lucien who is a bit of a rake and jaded when it comes to his pleasures and Diana--an innocent Miss that is determined to have a spot of adventure before it's too late.
The two meet...at her half sister's brothel. *nods* Yup. Diana has gone in disguise to get a glimpse of the, um, steamier past times of her peers and, well, Lucien just happens to be there enjoying the bounty and happens to rescue her when things take a twist. The chemistry between them was great and quite entertaining as he gives her the adventure she's craving and a few days of naughty exploration with him. I loved that she was innocent but oh so bold and curious too. She really tortured him with her curiosity and it was so much fun to watch him enjoying himself as well.
Things get spicy, they get sweet, they run into a little bit of a bump but it all turns out nicely and perfectly them. It's not the deepest of reads but it's fun and entertaining and perfect when you want something seductive and steamy with a lovely touch of humor.
Reviewed for herding cats & burning soup.

"I do love the way your cock wobbles." she cooed.

This was a novella but it felt like a full novel and what a fabulous read it was.
My thoughts on finishing was that every woman deserved a guy like Lucien as her first. Someone kind, patient and concerned with her wants and needs and not his own.
The author referred to her books as Romantica (Romance + erotica I assume) and I would say that's an accurate description. Whilst the sex scenes were plentiful and adventurous (especially for the period setting) it had a romance book feel.
For a shorter book it is a bit high priced but worth it.
A great read.

If steamy sex play is what you like (rather continuous I might add), than this book is for you. I actually had to pause to visualize many of the scenarios. I think Lucien and Diana had more sex in 3 days than most have in a lifetime, lol. My first from Ms Page, and a good choice. A very entertaining novella. Will definitely look for more of her works

One of the best erotic regencies I've read in a LONG time! Hands down hot! I could NOT put this one down.

Wow... It never stopped!! From beginning to ending pleasure.

This is a very sweet story with a whole lot of naughty mixed in! I loved it from start to finish! :)

I loved this, so glad a friend told me about it. Not only is it hot but it's a sweet love story full of honorable, sexy men and beautiful, adventurous women.

Highly Erotic
3.5 rating. This is my first time to read a book of Sharon Page. It is quite different from the usual books that I have read in terms of level of graphic and erotic sex. I deducted 1.5 stars due to my expectations. There is a love story of sorts. A virgin heroine looking for adventure meets the depraved hero and they eventually fall in love after a few days of adventurous sex. The circumstances of how the hero and heroine met was not really ideal for me (or maybe I am just lacking a wild erotic fantasy/imagination because it is possible that a hero and heroine can meet and get attracted in the midst of several courtesans performing oral sex and foreplay to the hero). On the other hand there is the fidelity after they have acknowledged their attraction plus a happy ever after wedded bliss. I like how straightforward the story is in terms of plot. Overall, it is not a bad read especially for those looking for a more risqué read.

Completely unbelievable, with a heroin that doesn't have much on her brains but, to her credit, she knows what she wants and shet gets it !
It's not a story to take seriously, but it's steamy and fun and perfect for a week-end read.

This book was SO cute! I generally don't enjoy Regency romances because the people in the books are stuffy and strange, but THIS BOOK WAS WILDLY HOT with nothing stuffy OR strange about it!! I'm actually just smiling thinking about it. Lucien and Diana were an adorable couple and it's not often that you see such romantic undertones in what basically amounts to a one-night stand in Regency definitions, but they were there in this book and every time he called her "sweeting" I just melted. The best words I can use to sum up this hot jewel of a book are adorable, hot and FUN. This is a great book to read if you are looking for something to entertain you for an evening. It reads up fast and is wickedly exciting and fun. Four solid hot sweeting stars.

Sharon Page is one of the best erotica romance writers I have read. this was a good book but not her best.
It was a good pass-time. There were a lot of good sex scenes, but the plot as such was just missing. Like I said, I have read better Sharon Page books.
MAJOR SPOILERS
It's basically about this girl who wants to experience the 'ungodly' before her boring marriage. She very conveniently has a courtesan as a half sister and one thing leads to another and finds herself in the house of a very sexy viscount. In the end she decides not to get married to her fiance and gets married to the sexy viscount.
if there was more to the plot, I would have given this book a complete 5. But, it was a good book nonetheless.

Aburrido... es un libro que cuenta como una muchacha virginal quiere conocer la pasión antes de casarse. Durante la historia nos relata las fantasias eróticas que la protagonista lleva a cabo con un libertino. Si disfrutas con un relato donde las escenas eróticas suceden una detrás de otra contadas con gran elegancia y sensibilidad... sin duda este es tu libro pero si buscas algo más, aventuras, misterio o cualquier cosa que haga entretenido la historia... este no es tu libro.
A mi personalmente que los protagonistas no sé movieran del dormitorio me aburrió mucho, aun no entiendo como se enamoraron porque todas las conversaciones que tuvieron entre ellos versaban sobre sexo...

This was actually a really quick read but I honestly wasn't that impressed by it. I would give it 2.5 stars. I know it is a novella and sometimes there really isn't time for a lot of story but even though Ms Page tried to get a story out of it it just didn't really work for me. Some of the sex scenes were pretty hot so I decided it was worthy of a couple of stars for that reason but otherwise it was just kind of meh for me. I have read and enjoyed other books by Ms. Page but this one just didn't totally work for me.

This book made me speechless in many ways. I couldn't stop reading because well, the steamy sex scenes were very interesting. Some of the things the author came up with were thought provoking, I mean honestly, I hadn't thought of some of the things that she came up with. It was funny and I think the book could have been longer.

Great romantic story
I really loved this book. The main reason is that it is a great love story. You could see the longer the main characters were/ together the more they fell in love. This was also an erotic romantic story, but I think that complimented the overall story. It was nicely done.

After reading Sin this one was a little disappointing, but still a good story anyways.

This book was okay. It’s very smutty and while some of the sex scenes are steamy, they also become a bit over the top. There wasn’t much development of the characters’ relationship with each other past the sex, yet they still somehow fall in love.
