Description from the publisher:

Faced with a marriage she can’t abide, Lady Penelope Wakefield takes drastic measures to preserve her freedom.  Her brilliant plan is foolproof until a sexy but imperious rector “rescues” her.



Rector Hugh Tarleton has no patience for the Society philanthropists who seek to bestow their pity—and not much else—on his oppressed flock in one of London’s worst neighborhoods.  When the daughter of a marquess is kidnapped and brought to the rookery, he vows to protect her, but the temptation to surrender to their mutual desire will certainly ruin them both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



ONE NIGHT OF TEMPTATION is the sixth book in the Wicked Dukes Club series.  Though it would stand on its own, there is a lot of interaction with characters from the previous books in the series.



This just may be the most romantic of all of the historic romances I have ever read.  Temptations, interruptions, and frustrations filled the night for Lady Penelope and Pastor Hugh, but there was never a doubt where it should lead.



The villains – the man Lady Penelope’s father hopes to force her to marry as well as her father – are deliciously evil.  The Earl of Findon is a dastardly, slimy, creep, that it was fun to jeer.  I could almost hear the ominous organ music as each took the stage in my mind.



In the fashion of the old Dudley Do-Right cartoons (yes, I’m that old), Rector Hugh Tarleton is honorable, but fierce.  This just may be my favorite of all of the historical romances I have ever read… EVER!



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
