sassysono 's review for:
Her Husband's Harlot
by Grace Callaway
The initial set-up was pretty good. It starts as a marriage-in-trouble story. Lady Helena has recently married Nicholas, the new Marquess of Harteford. It was a whirlwind courtship. He plucked her from amongst the Wallflowers and she is immediately smitten. Unfortunately, the wedding night was a disaster. It hurt, and he hasn't touched her since.
Nicholas' childhood was a fight for survival in the cut-throat London stews. His legitimacy was only just discovered as the previous Marquess was dying. Nicholas feels unworthy of his beautiful and demure Lady-wife. He wants her but is unsure how to treat her.
When Helena discovers that Nicholas plans to attend a masquerade party at a high-class brothel, she goes along in disguise and ends up being seduced by her own husband. For me, this part had shades of Elizabeth Hoyt's The Raven Prince.
Throughout the story, Nicholas struggles with his past and feelings of inadequacy, while Helena learns to stand up for herself and ask for what she wants.
This book contains multiple steamy love scenes. Including a ridiculous Epilogue scene in a carriage, that could have been completely omitted.
