Seducing the Marquess (Lords & Ladies in Love Book 1) Kindle Edition

London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon’s upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules.

Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable—his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia only wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage or it might cause an explosion.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I'm happy I found this. If I could give it more stars I would. The book was well written and it kept my interest until the very end. The characters were well developed and interesting and I loved that the couple really did have mutual respect for each other even though there were some misunderstandings. Eugenia and Devon were perfect for each other yet it took them some time to get there. I wasn't sure how the author would pull off a book about a wife trying to seduce her husband but it really did work. It had some very hilarious moments between them especially with how Devon reacted to his wife's advances. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

***I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a true and honest review.***

Eugenia was taught at a very early age what was appropriate for a wife who is married within a Ton society. She had her actions down to a fault. She carried herself the correct way. She no reaction when gossip was about her husband and his mistress. She even carried the title of “Ice Queen” among society. However, no one knew that secret of her heart desire and that was for husband to love her and only her. When she hears that her husband mistress has died, she seizes the opportunity to entice her husband with the help of a book. This book is like no other book she has ever read. Can a book help her relationship with husband, Devon or will she lose him again to another mistress?

Devon has always done what society has dictated, even when he did not want to. He kept his mistress after his marriage, because this is what you do. Even though, his mistress was in name only. He knew this was the proper thing to do. When his mistress dies unexpectedly, he is at a loss what to do. His wife, Eugenia, has started to act different. She is acting like she enjoys being touched, even her the gowns she is wearing are changing. He begins to wonder if she taken a lover. Why has she changed?

Eugenia and Devon’s relationship changed from what was expected by society, to what is more desired - love. They learn how to love each other as the story develops. They learn through the help of a book, that they really want more than what society has dictated.

Being of lover of Regency historical romance books, I have read all Callie Hutton’s book. I love her writing. I look forward to reading more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful romance about going after what you want.

What made this story for me was the humor I totally love a book with humor. The author brings to the table very likable characters that pull you in giving you a highly entertaining read.

Devon has been bought up with strict ways a wife, or married couple should act he thought he found the perfect lady in his lovely new wife Eugenia. She has such grace, just the right tones, the right actions to make those in the ton very happy. No one can or will find fault in his lovely wife. He really is thrilled to have got such a lady but something is a little off, he just isn’t satisfied in his marriage. He can’t put his finger on it she hasn’t done anything wrong she is just as she should be.

Eugenia on the surface is a little cold she is one that never lets anyone sees her emotions. No one can make her show how she really feels. She is a lady and always knows her place in public. In the Ton everyone looks up to them and their marriage. This is how a couple should act with respect not showing any feeling. For Eugenia she is happy with her husband he is everything he should be and more. Devon never would dream of embarrassing her and is very discreet. This was what she thought she wanted but she finds herself very unhappy. She is ready to stand up and make a stand she hopes Devon feels the same way. This is where it gets very interesting the Ice Queen is about to have a thawing out and make some moves that just might make the Ton see her in a different light.

This was a charming and delightful read. I thought them already being married added to the story. I loved the baiting and head butting as these two work out the true meaning of a marriage. I really enjoyed watching Eugenia come out of her shell going for what she wanted her husband’s love. I thought the characters were delightful as well as the plot. We all know how marriage is it was nice to see a marriage work taking the good with the bad finding a middle ground and saying the heck with what people think. This was a story that pulled me in giving me pleasure from start to finish.

I loved the premise of this book. A young woman raised by a very rigid mother is nicknamed the 'Ice Queen' when she makes her debut. Six months into her marriage, her new husband's mistress is killed in an accident and members of the ton are wondering who his next mistress will be. Lady Eugenia comes across a 'naughty book' in a bookstore that describes sexual acts and how to please a partner...complete with illustrations. She decides to use it to seduce her husband, even though her mother had told her to lie quietly 'and think of redecorating' during sex. Eugenia's husband, the Marquess of Devon was told repeatedly by his father that wives were for procreation only and to 'slake his lust' on a mistress. Eugenia's attempts to seduce her husband lead him to believe that she has taken a lover.

The first part of this book was interesting and enjoyable. Then basically the same thing (and the same inner dialogues) keep repeating. For me, the book slowed to a crawl and I started to get impatient for something more exciting to happen. I resorted to skimming to finish. I think this would have been better had it been shortened to a novella.

Oh how I loved this story about the expectations of the ton and its etiquette that prevents couples from expressing their true feelings and love. It’s a clever and romantic story about a proper ton marriage and the pressure it puts on the couple and their path to change it. It’s witty, romantic and naughty. I’ve read a few books by Callie and this is the naughtiest so far which I very much enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Callie has captured the essence of life for the Nobility in this novel. Their lives were very structured with so many rules to be followed that it is amazing from the viewpoint of the 21st century that the nobility actually managed to survive. Callie captures the nuances with her inspired writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly funny tale of bad sex
Reviewed in Australia on November 3, 2016

I love this book, just love everything about it. There is Lady Eugenia, so impeccable she is called 'the ice queen'. Her husband the Marquess of Devon who visits his mistress to be socially proper, then visits his wife's bedchamber for polite sex in the dark. Finally there is a rude book that tells Eugenia what she is missing in her marriage.

Eugenia and Devon are total prigs who are programmed to be conventional, yet neither is happy about their well ordered lives. Devon is not interested in his mistress but doesn't want to bother his wife with his animal needs. Eugenia feels there must be more to sex than the dutiful congress she has with Devon. She has in fact stashed a secret sex manual under her mattress that reveals a whole new world of possibilities.

There are many loveable things about 'Seducing the Marquess'. For once the old 'misunderstandings' plot device is entertaining. And it's easy to relate to. I mean what woman hasn't tried to get her partner to lift their bedroom game without being too obvious? Another thing I like is that it doesn't read like standard HR. It's more real and psychologically true. Everything about daily life is somehow fascinating from servant's problems to mealtimes. So yes, do read this excellent book, I highly recommend it.

I loved this book. At first I loved the characters and felt for them and their struggles to freely show their love to one another. Then I got so frustrated at the repeated attempts for romance by the characters. The end was so well worth it. I was in tears! With a HEA and a steamy love scene I definitely recommend.
