Thank you for the advanced copy

A proper young lady should never attend a Masque...Aphrodite is no lady. Betrothal to the callous Lord Blackhall painted a future devoid of love. Upon his death, Lady Caroline Wilmont is promised to the younger brother. Caroline refuses to allow her first taste of desire to be at the hands of a man who would rather have any woman but her. This, her last night of freedom, is to be a memory of lust that she can take with her throughout her loveless marriage. As Aphrodite, Caroline attends a masque determined to find a man to initiate her into the intimacies of erotic love. Taran Robertson, Viscount of Blackhall, makes no secret that he despises his obligation to marry the Sassenach heiress chosen for him by his father. As a last foray before his wedding, he attends a masque. However, the spirited vixen he meets and seduces has secrets...secrets that just may reveal he’s to have an improper wife.

What the story lacks in a cohesive plot, it makes up for in erotica. Overall, the book isn’t horrible but it definitely should be enjoyed for its sexual scenes rather than it’s story and characters. I found the flow to be a bit chaotic to match the sometimes confusing plot, and the characters to fall a little flat. The being said, this is a short spicy read that won’t take up much of your time if you’re looking for a bit of steam.

Whew. This book is STEAMY! But it's not just sex scenes. Unlike many steamy books, the plotline is actually really interesting.
Caroline wants one night of passion the night before her wedding to the brother of her late fiancé. Her fiancé died in a horse riding accident and she is being forced to marry the brother. While she accepts her "duty" she understands that as the Viscountess, she will be expected to be a proper wife. She attends a masquerade ball in the hopes of one night of passion before her sex life turns into duty. The man she meets ignites her passion and curiosity and she has a night she will hold in her heart for all the boring nights of her marriage. As they are parting, she realizes he is the man she is supposed to marry the next day. Drama ensues.

Secrets, this book is filed with them! I loved this historical romance book! It was filled with suspense and romance. Well they be able to live each other when they learn the truth? I can't wait to read more from this author!

I do love Scottish based stories and this one was a good fast read.Hot sexy scenes were abundant so if you don’t care for that don’t read it but I think the storyline was good and I enjoyed the book.I highly recommend this book for a one sitting book.

This story will definitely steam up the glasses! An English lady forced into a betrothal to one man. When he died, she is again forced to that man's younger brother, a Scottish Viscount. Determined to find her first taste of desire before she is shackled to a man who does not want to marry her anymore than she marry him, she goes to a masquerade dressed as Aphrodite. Well that could only men she was looking for a tryst! She meets a man and all I can say is wowza. What she does not know is he is her betrothed! Talk about fate stepping in at an unexpected moment!
Now if only she did not have her wedding the next day.
Secrets, desire and a steamy romance that have you turning the pages. I read this through NetGallery.

Great, multi-faceted characters. Very interesting plot. Just steamy enough. Kept me intrigued from the first page to the last.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book.
I hadn't realised when I requested this book that it had been published in 2017, so this review probably won't be needed. It's fun and raunchy with quite a few explicit scenes, (maybe one scene didn't need to be in there). I liked the main characters as they had wonderful chemistry and were decent people; except Caroline could be slightly dramatic at times.
Plot wise, the complication with her uncle seemed a bit abrupt but didn't affect the overall outcome in the end. This is the first book in a series which I can see doing very well for women who want some escapism.
3.5 stars

I just love this author's stories and this one was no different. I enjoyed this story very much and can really recommend this book to all book friends

A fun, racy novel. Lady Caroline is in a muddle. In a last ditch effort to claim a small (though important) victory before wedding a man she believes she will despise, Caroline has sex with none other, than her bridegroom-to-be. Now, she must find a way to hide her part in this rendezvous from him. Lord Blackhall may not be fooled so easily.

A steamy smoking hot romance book that will leave you breathless and wanting more from this author. Well written. Steamy romance.

I enjoyed reading this book. The relationship between the main characters was very erotic from the very start of the book. It had a mystery and a “big misunderstanding” to complete it.

Caroline attends a masked ball, and hooks up with Taran, not knowing (either of them) that they are actually supposed to get married. A lot of hot and heavy sex, hence the erotica genre note, but would also have liked a bit more story development as well. A good story overall, but could have been stronger. Would recommend at 3.5.

A masquerade, passion and hotness wanted? Read this one. I absolutely loved it! I couldn't put it aside because of the way it was told. It's my first Tarah Scott novel but it won't be my last one!

Wow! This is one hot and steamy book that you won't want to put down. This is one seriously fun read featuring a strong, spirited female character, lots of steamy romance, a bit of angst and a few secrets thrown in as well. A 5 star book for sure.

Loved this sensual, erotic story! Caroline is set to marry in one day, but decides to live one night for herself. She meets a very sexy man at a masked ball and ends up in some very descriptive sexy scenes in a horse drawn coach. Turns out she realizes afterwards who her dashing suitor really is. Taran is supposed to wed his brothers fiance, since his brothers death a year ago. He meets and seduces a beautiful young woman at the ball, and feels there is a real connection, unfortunately it doesn't prevent the wedding from taking place the next day. I loved the feisty, independent woman that Caroline is! She doesn't allow anyone, including her new husband to run her life. Their sparring back and forth is fun to read. Definitely recommend this book if your into erotic historical fiction.

Lady Caroline Wilmont thought she had escaped from one despicable fiancee only to find that she is now betrothed to his younger brother, a man she has never met. On the eve of her wedding, she escapes to a masquerade in the hopes of having one memorable night before she is sacrificed on the altar of marriage.

Taran Robertson, Viscount of Blackhall, entends on having one last night of debauchery before he finds himself leg-shackled. When he crosses paths with the enigmatic Aphrodite, his entire world is rocked. He knows his mysterious lover has secrets, but he isn't expecting to see her again least of all at his wedding as the bride.

This book is a hot read that had been me hooked. I could not put it down. The sex scenes are intense, and the characters are engaging, and I love the banter between the two love interests. This book is definitely one to read if you're looking for an erotically charged read.

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lady Caroline Wilmont expected a loveless marriage from her betrothal to the cold John, Lord Blackhall. Then he dies and Caroline is almost immediately betrothed to his brother Taran, who she assumes will be just as bad as John. Determined to taste desire with a man who truly wants her at least once before her marriage, Caroline sneaks out to a Masque costumed as Aphrodite, intent on making memories of desire to see her through what is sure to be a cold marriage.

Taran Robertson, now Viscount Blackhall, despises the fact that he must marry the English heiress his father has chosen and makes no secret of that fact. He attends the Masque as a last indiscretion before his wedding, only to encounter the most seductive woman he's ever met, and one with obvious secrets.

When Caroline realizes who she's just had a tryst with she is horrified. From what she's heart of her new fiance she's sure he won't tolerate a wanton wife so she feels she must ensure he never finds out she was Aphrodite.

I didn't really follow Caroline's reasoning here. She was a bit of a brat when she wasn't in costume and honestly if both of them had just been honest with each other they could've solved a lot of problems. But then again, that angst was a driving force for the plot. There were several plot holes and confusing scenes, but the plot strengthens near the end with some danger elements that I appreciated, along with the intense amount of steam of course.

Lady Caroline and the Viscount of Blackhall are betrothed to be married. Neither are particularly happy about the upcoming union. Unbeknownst to the other they separately attend a masked ball for one last moment of freedom before entering what they believe will be a loveless marriage. Their night at the ball is just the beginning of passions and secrets being revealed.
This was a fun and steamy read. Fast paced and well written. Great chemistry between Caroline and Taran. I hated for the story to end and hope that we get more with these characters.
