Anchor and Storm by Kate Poole

3.0

Set in the 1750s. An earl discovers his nephew/heir sexually harassing the governess, and jumps in to rescue and eventually marry her. This is the romance part. When it turns out that the earl's degenerative disease is probably hereditary, they resort to finding another father for their children--no one wants the nephew to inherit because he's an asshole. The man they both end up having in mind turns out to be connected to the heroine in an unexpected way. This is the menage a trois romance part. I'm still not sure what to make of this book. The dialect was pretty poorly written, and, references to the '45 Jacobite rebellion aside, the sense of historical setting was pretty thin. The emotional plot about coming to terms with loving >1 man / 2 men sharing the woman they love was fairly well-done and the sex scenes were hot. I guess for the value I got I feel I paid about $5 too much for it
