About the author
Julia Templeton
29 books149 followersI was born in Crescent City , California , a small logging town on the Pacific coast, home of enormous redwood trees and clear rivers. I have great memories of playing on stumps the size of small houses on my grandmother's acreage in a little town just north of Crescent City called Fort Dick . My sister and I would take daily walks to the main street store—an old, tiny white building that included the town's post office. The main street included just the market, a tavern (appropriately called The Stump) and a church we attended each Sunday morning. I loved that small town…and I still do.
In the early seventies my family moved to Washington, a state with gorgeous mountains, beautiful forests, and lots of green, which meant lots of rain, but I love all the seasons. I have wonderful memories of my childhood—a mother who was always at home, a father who worked hard to give us a good life, and a sister and brother who always looked out for me.
When I was all of 14 years old, I met Kip Templeton, my brother's best friend, and the man I would one day marry. Green eyes, dark hair, 6'1", and built like a Greek god , Kip had quite the reputation as a bad boy. I was absolutely terrified of him. Being that he was almost four years older than me, not to mention my brother's best friend, he was off-limits.
Yeah right…
Kip swept me off my feet and at the tender age of nineteen, I became pregnant with my first child. That same year I also discovered historical romance in the form of Kathleen Woodiwiss’s SHANNA. That book started a love of the genre that would spark a desire to write my own stories.
Two kids and many years later I sat down at my computer and started writing a romance novel. Realizing I had a lot to learn, I bought research books, and studied the craft of romance writing. I joined Romance Writers of America, and attended a Romantic Times convention. I went to every workshop and absorbed every word. I met authors like Heather Graham, Kat Martin, Virginia Henley and Susan Johnson who were all approachable and friendly. That trip solidified my desire to become a published author.
I sold six short stories to confession magazines, and felt like I was headed in the right direction when an untimely illness threw a wrench in my plans. Soon my focus turned from writing to fighting an inflammable bowel disease that would eventually cost me my large intestine in a radical surgery.
During my illness I had lost my desire to write, but eventually I felt that familiar urge to sit down and start a new story, and I did just that. I’ll never forget the phone call I received from Amy Garvey of Kensington saying she wanted to purchase the novel for their new Precious Gems Historical line. In that moment I had realized my dreams…and it felt incredible.
Since then, I have sold time-travel, historical, vampire and contemporary romances to Berkley, Avon, Ellora's Cave, Cerridwen Press, Hard Shell Word Factory and Triskelion. I’ve also made some incredible friends (Beth Ciotta, Jordan Summers, Tracy Cooper-Posey, Jolie Mathis, Mary Stella, Cynthia Valero, Patrice Michelle, Kathy Love, Arianna Hart & Kate Pearce) to name a few…who have gone through the ups and downs of publishing with me.
I still live in Washington with my husband Kip, who is my biggest cheerleader (I even talked him into modeling for my historical romance SURRENDER TO LOVE). Our daughter has left the nest but lives nearby and our youngest is attending college and still lives at home. We’re enjoying our lives and even bought a Harley, something we’ve been waiting twenty-plus years for. It’s a good life…and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Thanks for taking the time to read about me. I hope it gives you a good idea of who I am.
God Bless!

A sexy, light-erotica historical romance served up cougar style...right up KarenH's proverbial alley!
Lily Winthrop is a beautiful 38-year-old widow who has spent the majority of her adult life married to a man whose sexual appetite was sated exclusively by very young men. Lily knows nothing of true passion and sexual pleasures until she catches the eye of Victor Rayborne at a country party she is attending as chaperone to her 2 nieces. Victor, Lord Graston, is the second of three brothers who, together, are being forced into finding wives in order to claim their inheritance. Handsome beyond belief with long black hair, piercing blue eyes, muscular bods and jumbo-sized whowhos, the "Rakehells from Rochester" have more than lived up to their nickname by cutting an impressive swath through the fairer sex of the ton. For Victor, however, life as a rake quickly becomes history never to be repeated when he meets Lily. He is captivated by the prim and proper widow, and is relentless in his pursuit to win her heart.
What can I say? Victor was not only heart-stopping sexy but was a refreshingly upbeat, fun-loving hero (no tortured souls here) as well. Lily was a mature, morally upright woman who, although sexually naive at first, was eager to trade innocence for experience in Victor's arms (and bed, and tub, and...) She also learned by Victor's lead that living for one's self brings far more happiness and contentment than adhering to a strict moral code dictated by general opinion.
Of course, a true rake's road to monogamous bliss & an HEA would be rife with female roadblocks. Fortunately, Julia Templeton is well aware of this and the story is spiced up nicely by former lovers as well as future hopefuls. Being human, Victor does make a few mistakes but they are slight and Lily wisely reacts accordingly. There is a conniving ex-mistress that is ruthless in her pursuit of Victor; but, as in all good romances of this nature, she gets the permanent kick to the curb.
I'm giving this book 5**. Although it wasn't one of the best books I've ever read, it was exactly the type of book I was in the mood to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end!
*My only complaint is that I did not want to envision Victor looking like Nathan Kamp, but even that is a weak protest... Nathan looks damn fine in that cover shot.

I love this book and its predecessor
so much that I actually held off reading this one until
came out so I could enjoy a double-whammy, so-to-speak.
The reasons why I liked this one are pretty similar to the reasons why I liked Sinjin's story.
It's so refreshing to have rakes that are really naughty. These three gorgeous specimens of manhood have done some pretty interesting stuff sexually, which we, luckily, get to see little vignettes of. It really annoys me that in HRs every man is considered a rake, even if all he's done is lost his cherry before marriage or kept a mistress. I mean, check out the number of books with the word "rake" in the title! When most aristocratic marriages were arranged for money or prestige, I would be stunned if the majority didn't enjoy a bit-on-the-side, so it's nice to see that this series reflects more-or-less what I would envision a large number of very wealthy, very bored aristocrats actually would get up to.
I also love the way secondary characters are more rounded than the purely one-dimensional individuals you sometimes see, although they still have that slightly cartoonish thing going, which I actually quite enjoy in HRs.
I also actually like how these books, whilst entertainingly titillating reads, do actually include some less savory aspects of life in this era. This one included what happened in marriages in which the husband was homosexual, after all, aristocratic homosexuals did marry for the same reasons heterosexual aristocrats married (money, prestige, children). In this particular marriage, the husband is castigated not for his homosexuality but for the cruelty he inflicted on his wife, which is a rather 21st century attitude, but it's nice to see such a subject included nonetheless.
So, I loved the well-endowed hero, and I loved the repressed, sad and rather lonely heroine, and I loved the whole age difference thing.
There were some things which I didn't like so much, though.
The writing quality diminished slightly after the halfway point, and this annoyed me, since it had such a great plot, such fabulous characters and great atmosphere. It all felt rather hurried, like the author couldn't wait to get on with the Extremely Naughty Rory's story (OK, who can blame her, but still). There was too much of the he-said-she-said style of writing, which I find incredibly boring, and also one character was introduced as Lady SomethingOrOther and the next she metamorphosed into "Betsy" with no warning.
There were also some real clangers that jarred with me: the heroine would never, never be told where the hero's bedroom was in his parents house, when she makes the introductory visit, not in a million years, and she would certainly not be shown it. Now misbehavior at country houses is one thing, with sneaking around the corridors for illicit sex, as long as certain rules were obeyed, but the heroine would not be shown his room, and certainly not by the hero's mother. After all, this would be one of the jobs of the maid or valet - to know who would be sleeping in which room, to make it all much easier for their employers. Also, Sinjin's mother would not whoop for joy at the prospect of a baby conceived out of wedlock (not telling you who's baby). She might have been privately very happy (after all, this sort of thing has always gone on), but I really struggle to believe that she would have publicly shown how happy she was.
So, it would have been 5 stars, but for the sloppiness halfway through and some of the out-of-period stuff.

After reading book 1, I really wanted to know what happened to all the rakehell Rochester brothers.
I was disappointed. Could not make the connection between the main characters. The misunderstanding between them were baseless. The older woman was just acting like a teenager.
To add to it, just couldn’t digest the fact that the Aunt became younger sister-in-law.
I don’t mind the age gap. May be if the older, virtuous widow was not one of the characters from book 1 this book would have been better.
Just imagine your Aunt (mother’s sister) becomes your younger sister-in-law. Now your Aunt’s children would be your cousin sisters and brothers. Your sister-in-law’s children would be your nephew and niece.
What was I talking about? 🙄

Reputation is everything when you're a female but only to the gossip mongering among the ton. The bored need something to wag their tongues at.
Can one man keep his heart to himself and walk away or will he run through fire to keep her?

Romantic sexy reading!

Slightly better than the first book, slightly better character development, but flimsy plot and the heroine just surrendered far too quickly for any anticipation to build up. Wished I hadn’t bothered

Victor Rayborne is one of three brothers who loves sex and enjoys being a lover to a vast majority of women. He, along with his eldest brother Sinjin and his younger brother Rory are called the Rakehells of Rochester because of their reputations. But now that Sinjin has found the love of his life, he is very much committed to his future wife. Victor is re-evaluating his own favorite past time since he has met the aunt of Sinjin's fiancée, the widow Lilith Winthrop, Lady Nordland. His attraction to Lilith is instantaneous and now he can only think of her and ways to get her into his bedroom. But Lilith is unlike any woman he has ever tried to seduce. She gives him the cold shoulder and acts uninterested, when she wants nothing more than to lie in his arms and enjoy those pleasures she missed out on her marriage.
Lilith cannot understand why Victor is so interested in her. She is not the type of woman to have an affair, especially with a much younger man like Victor. But everywhere she turns, he is there giving her heated looks that makes her ache deep down inside. But the fact that Victor's prowess in and out of the bedroom is legendary and shocking, is something that worries Lilith. She was made a fool once, and refuses to be one again.
Victory will do whatever he can to have Lilith. All too soon she falls for his charms. Not only does Victor what an exclusive relationship with her, but Lilith's close friends don't frown upon her or think what she is doing is wrong. As Victor and Lilith begin to fall in love with one another, a woman from Victor's recent past decides she wants Victor as her own and will do everything she can; even spreading vicious lies to get what she wants.
Heroes who have slept with every woman they come in contact with are a big turn off for me. But I can't help but enjoy the way Julia Templeton has written the Rayborne men. Victor may be a total rake, or as some would say Duke of Slut, but the moment he has Lilith in his sights, he is smitten and very much committed to her. This is the perfect case where that one woman comes along and redeems the hero. And Victor is very likable. His is so understanding and respectful to Lilith and why she keeps him at a distance.
Lilith and Victor are very passionate together and they click right away. The road to their happily ever after is bumpy and one I enjoyed reading. Julia also sets up Rory's story in such a way I can't wait to read because his heroine is somewhat damaged. Also along these lines, there is a very interesting secondary story regarding Lilith's niece Marilyn, who was first introduced in Sinjin. Marilyn is attracted to the very slutty and forthright Lady Anna who is more shocking in the bedroom than the Rayborne brothers will ever be. We are given just a small taste of how much Lady Anna wants to lay claim to the innocent and sexually confused Marilyn. I would love nothing more than to see a full length romance between these two women, rather then only secondary snippets.
Victor is a spicy, erotic romance that doesn't cross too many uncomfortable lines. There is a scene at a house of iniquity that may raise some eyebrows, as well as one with Lady Anna who has fun with two men. But, if you have read erotic historical romance in the past, you won't be shocked at all with Victor.
This is one sexy and engaging romance, especially if you enjoy reading about an older woman being romanced by a younger man.

Stars 3/4 (Kate Pearce, Maureen Driscoll, Elisa Braden)
Hey fellow readers I don’t summarize the books (as there are always great full summaries written that I read myself).
I only give it my personal, general, summary of 5 stars to 1 star.
3 stars: This book is worth a read but didn’t really have me excited about interacting with the book where I could not put it down. It lacks the excitement and well roundness of my personal markers for a great read throughout the book.
Development and interest in main characters, secondary characters, humorous, movement of the book, writing/conversation and romantic/sexual content (1-2 scenes or too much unnecessary).
Read it once and that is enough for me.
However, if this book is part of a series, I would read the next book (pervious book) in the series as it would still peek my reading interest.
I’ll continue reading from this author. I wouldn’t cross the author out of my potential reads in the future.

While the writing is Satisfactory and plot/characters are decent enough to read the next in the series I am again let down by the ending. It's rushed and anti climactic and disappointing. It happened with the first of the series and now this one and it Leaves me questioning whether reading the last in this series is worth it.
March 25, 2010
I must say that I really enjoyed Victor. It was a fast simple HOT read. I give the story a 4 stars but I give the heat and the hero 5 stars, lol! Victor was just soooo yummy! I'm looking forwards to Rory the third brothers story to come out.

July 11, 2010OMG perfect this cover! I'm not huge fan of exaggerate muscular mens... so, to me, this male model is perfect. [image error] P E R F E C T to a erotic novel!
January 4, 2015
This is the sequel to "Sinjin", which I read a couple months ago. Victor has his eye on Lily, the aunt of Sinjin's fiance from the first book in the trilogy. I have the third book, "Rory," waiting on stand-by for me to read next.

Loved it. Templeton has style and Victor was delish! I just really like the way she sets up her scenes and how sensual they are. Can't wait for Rory!
July 18, 2011
I gave this book 4 stars. The writing was very good, loved the characters, the plot, etc. But the ending was weak and a little rushed and a couple of questions never answered.
February 8, 2012
This book was okay. The plot was marginally a bit better than the first one, in terms of the past mistress showing up and creating chaos.
January 17, 2013
She sent me a signed copy of this. What an honor and it was my favorite. Though sinjin was a good intro.
April 20, 2016
WOW! The series is so sexy! I love all three.
