"Sophie Jordan is one of a kind!" -Samantha James Pride and passion collide in this sexy and emotionally rich Victorian-set historical romance from New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan. Wicked in Your Arms is the first book in the acclaimed author's Forgotten Princesses series-a marvelously sensual fable of a handsome prince searching for a suitable bride, but inconveniently smitten with a most unsuitable lady: the illegitimate daughter of one of the most unsavory characters in all of London! Wicked in Your Arms is a wonderful delight-the ideal romantic escape for Lisa Kleypas and Sabrina Jeffries readers.
Though Wicked in Your Arms requires some suspension of belief, (Prince of what country?) it provided an excellent escape read. Which in Amanda speak means that as long as you're in the mood for the genre and not very critical, it'll be a hit. Which I was, and it was. And I do so love when that happens.
Grier was far more entertaining as a character in Wicked in Your Arms; Sev was a pretentious bastard who didn't start showing cracks in his demeanor later in the book. I never quite connected with him, though I did warm up once it was obvious he was falling for Grier.
And some of the sex scenes? Rawr. Explosive in the sense that they went from zero to sex. And it was awesome. Even if parts of the ending seemed a little far fetched. Explosive sex muddles the brain, I suppose.
Wicked in Your Arms was a free Kindle book I downloaded on May 10, 2013 for the Why Buy the Cow? reading challenge.
