Rachel Reviews Lady Alexandra's Lover by Helen Hardt - Giveaway
Book: Lady Alexandra’s Lover
Author: Helen Hardt
Genre: Historical Erotic Romance
Synopsis
Lady Alexandra MacIntyre has made up her mind. Having grown up in near poverty, she's marrying for money—a lot of money—and she’ll do anything to achieve her goal...even get herself caught in a compromising situation by her overprotective and smugly conventional—although achingly handsome—new stepbrother, Lord Evan Xavier.
Evan, the second son of the Earl of Brighton, considers Alexandra a genuine pain in his arse. She's beautiful, yes, but also headstrong and lacking in social graces and respect for authority. Unfortunately, while his father and her mother are away on their wedding trip, she is his responsibility. When she announces her plan to travel to London, he has no choice but to go along as her protector.
When the two are stranded after a carriage accident, circumstances spiral out of control, and the heat between them can’t be denied. Rescue is on its way, but Alexandra still has her own agenda…

Rachel's Review~
Oh holy hotness. The previous books in this series were pretty steamy historical romances, but this one..yeah...this one is so hot n steamy...so erotically charged, it's super smut-tastic!
The letters to Amelia from Prudence Spofford... Hello Hot!
While you don't absolutely HAVE to read the first 2 books in the series, you'll greatly enjoy them and you'll have an understanding of the characters and how they tie together, so I think you SHOULD read them first.
Lady Alexandra and her sister Sophie are new stepsisters to Evan, the son of Lord Brighton. While their parents are off on their honeymoon Evan must be responsible for the girls. Easier said than done. Ally is beautifully broken and formidable all at once. She was abused physically as a child by her father. She drew his displeasure so he would leave Sophie alone. She watched her mother get sexually abused often and resented her mother for quite some time...right up until she learned via Lord Evan that her mother took the abuse so their father would leave them alone sexually. So that broke Ally just a little bit more. Upon his passing they were left with nothing and taken in my her mothers sisters family.
She was intent on marrying for money, to hell with love. She wanted to make sure that she would never be destitute, nor would her mother or sister be left with nothing.
Evan who is the second son of Lord Brighton knows he inherits naught. So he is making due himself. He owns 3 publishing houses...and he's running into problems..finding out that his company is publishing erotica..and that is illegal!
Lady Alexandra takes Evan on a merry chase, as they travel to London, their coach crashes and they are left out in the elements alone...one thing leads to another and Ally ends up no longer "pure". Evan decides to marry her. uhm...don't forget he is the second son...
The characters are full of life, fully put together, and so easy to envision. The storyline is wonderfully entertaining. There is romance, suspense, and oh my goodness, don't forget hotter then hell in August. The Ruby, the erotic literature that we get a taste of...whew....It is hot...
I love Helen Hardt's writing and it's time to go grab one of her other series and give that one a try. Can't wait for Sophies book...coming soon
