Narration Supposing Books Passion (Passion Quartet #1)
In her second year of mourning, lovely, young widow Passion Elizabeth Dare never dreamed she would be with a man again—and certainly not a complete stranger. But amidst the crowds of London's Crystal Palace, Passion finds herself discreetly, yet insistently, pursued by a sensual gentleman who awakens her long-supressed desires. After a loveless marriage of restrained propriety, Passion abandons herself to true bliss for the first time. Intoxicated by his encounter with the beautiful stranger, Mark Randolph Hawkmore, Earl of Langley, cannot wait to see her again. As a series of rapturous rendezvous follows, he and his mystery lover find something rare and wonderful blossoming between them. But a blackmail scheme against the Earl threatens to destroy everything. As a scandal brews, each will have to choose between duty and desire...their love for their families—and their love for each other.Rating Out Of Books Passion (Passion Quartet #1)

** 4-4,5 tell me something STARS ** Your profile ought to be pressed upon a coin.Your body ought to be pressed upon mine. This book was exactly what I'd needed: A mix of cum and tears.The first half left me panting and desperate to call my boyfriend and demand he get dressed and come over IMMEDIATELY...while the second half was so heart-wrenching that my pillow was drenched with tears when I read the last sentence of the story. If you want to say no, say it now. He shook his head. Not two5 stars Historical/Erotic RomanceThe Good, the Bad and the Icky:Okay, I have to be honest and admit that early on in this, I was wondering if I was reading the same book that earned so may five star rave reviews because the explicit language and crude dialogue during the sex scenes, although certainly (verrry) hot, made me cringe and snicker at the same time. Really, its sort of how I imagine it would be if Lora Leigh ever decided to write a historical romance. I mean dont get me wrong, all my
This book made me wonder if I read the same book that the 5-star reviewers did.What dreck!I am by no means squeamish. I lurve the trashy erotic romance, I do, and the hotter the better. Unfortunately, Passion wasn't hot, it was merely profane. I have never read sex scenes that have left me quite so cold.The plot, when we're treated to it, is fairly tight and satisfying. Valdez does create a sticky situation for the hero, forcing him to choose between his beloved brother and the woman he's grown
I am sad to report that I have reached the limit of my endurance for the pure tedium that is A Lisa Valdez Novel. Even the act of buddy-reading it could not sustain me.So I shall DNF at 56%, and Fiona Goode speaks for me when I say to Passion & Mark (and his battering whang):
Extremely extremely ridiculous. And that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. As I was reading this, I kept wondering how the sexual acts described for anatomically possible and it led me to more thoroughly research uteri. I was already read up on the various pelvis shapes, you know, for identification of corpses/skeletons, but I learned so many new things about uteri positions due to this book. Anyway. This book is ridiculous, but it made me laugh and I've not read anything like it before, hence it
Before i read this book all i heard was how everyone had such a difficult time with one particular word "cervix" I wasn't to eager to read it after hearing a few bad things however im so glad i did.. you no when you find one of those books that touch and ruffle every emotion in you, where you are left breathless and heartbroken staring into a blank wall thinking ******"ow my god i cant take this heartache anymore" *********well this is one of those books .. one of those truly magical emotional
This book was recommended to me by a friend whose enthusiasm about the book was so great that I knew I must quickly get my hands on it and read it as soon as possible. I knew going into it that the book was supposedly very hot with some scorching sex scenes but at the same time had a great love story to go along with it. After reading Passion I can say with great confidence that it lived up to it's reputation and surpassed my expectations of it! 5 Smoking Hot Stars!!!The story about Passion (our
