I absolutely loved this story. The Seduction of Lord Stone is going on my favourite short stories shelf. It packed a punch. Everything I love about Recency historical romances was included. A scene at the ball, riding in Hyde Park, a picnic by the Thames, the women having tea and the men meeting in the study for serious talks. All of it put a smile on my face and left me content with my purchase.
In the beginning, we meet three women who were all in mourning for their late husbands. Two of the women had bad marriages and one lost the love of her life. Caro's husband died after a long illness, but her marriage was already a disaster before he fell sick. She moves to London after his death and can't wait to start living. Her first step in her quest is to find a lover. She doesn't want love, just a bed partner. Thinking it smart to get some advice on who to choose, she approaches her friend Silas, who's also the brother of one of the other widows. Caro has no idea she's about to throw a match to a bonfire. Silas doesn't take well to her questions.
The Seduction of Lord Stone was funny, sweet, naughty and nice. Even though it was short it was so well written I didn't feel ripped off. Everything that I need in my favourite romance was included...just in a little package. Can't wait to read more in this series.
