Temptations of a Wallflower by Eva Leigh
3.0
Wallflower and virgin Lady Sarah is secretly an erotic romance novelist. If exposed, she risks being banished from society and her family, but she cannot stop the flow of her quill. Thinking she'll never meet a man who will thrill her quite like the heroes in her tales, she is stunned by her immediate attraction to country vicar, who seems to share her passion for the arts and literature.
Jeremy, third son, was forced into the Church by his father. He loves the charity work, but isn't completely fulfilled by his duties. He's also secretly really into the naughty novels written by "A Lady of Dubious Quality." Trouble is, his moralistic father wants to expose the "Lady," both to stop her from ruining English society AND to aid his rising star in Parliament.
Jeremy reluctantly takes on the task, bringing him to London. He meets and is immediately attracted to Lady Sarah. Despite both their family's disapproval, they quickly marry, but both still feel like something is missing, despite their torrid bed-sport.
Secrets secrets are no fun, especially when your husband is trying to ruin your career.
Wicked, especially with the vicar parts, I enjoyed this tale. There were some parts that bothered me and kept me from LOVING the book. I was annoyed that Jeremy had a previous lover (one time). Why not keep him a virgin? He got all his pointers from Sarah's books anyway, so I felt like he didn't need to have the past assignation and it made him less interesting.
Eva Leigh also seems to really like this underground sex club, as it appears in all of her novels I've read so far. I didn't really like the almost "cheating" aspect of both characters running into each other there but not recognizing each other.
