Camryn is a Marquess and an industrialist who finds himself intrigued by a Charlotte Livingston a bluestocking and a social reform. The chemistry and banter between these two had sparks flying, but a violent rebellion against the machine is sweeping across the countryside. Camryn leads the charge in thwarting this rebellion. While Charlotte is not immune to his charms the secrets, she harbors could destroy them all.

I love strong, confident, stubborn, inquisitive heroines and Charlotte was a breath of fresh air. She made me giggle one moment and shake my head in despair the next. Her stubborn and opinions could at times blind her and it was fun seeing her grow. Her heart is true; her cause is noble, and I wanted her to have it all. Camryn for a man of his social standing is very forward thinking making him a pioneer of sorts. Of course, he is swoon-worthy and at first I thought he was a complete scoundrel, but as Quincy peeled back his layers I found him to be irresistible, stubborn, stupid and totally kissable. LOL. Characters from Compromising Willa and Tempting Bella and it was wonderful seeing them.

Seducing Charlotte like the other novels in the Accidental Peers series featured a strong heroine who unwittingly gains the attention of a much sought after bachelor. Quincy infuses suspense, heat, a little angst and wicked chemistry that will keep the reader engaged. I find when I read her books I quickly become caught up in the tale, and find the romance to be genuine. The sex scenes are sensual without going into too much detail, and they heated the page from mere kisses to tantalizing teases. Charlotte’s secrets added suspense, danger and threatened the romance. Quincy paced the tale perfectly with highs and lows. While there is angst, she doesn’t overdue it or drag it out instead she allows my heart to race even as I know I will eventually get the happily ever after I desire.
