Lady
Chrissie Wellsby and her two country friends research dozens of
rogues before selecting the notorious Viscount Hawkesbury, owner of
London’s most exclusive and expensive brothel, to educate them in
erotic seduction. The ladies abandon respectability and coerce Justin
Tremayne into letting them visit The Pleasure House and to teaching
them the sensual tricks mistresses and prostitutes use to entertain
men.
Though Justin believes three naive ladies will see the debauched romps in his themed rooms, cover their eyes and ears, and run back to their sheltered lives, he underestimates the desperation of abandoned women who imagine a wider knowledge of sex will keep the men in their lives at home, in their own beds. But despite watching several of their friends, men and women, perform raunchy acts at his brothel, the ladies insist on participating in the last of Justin’s infamous Sultan’s galas, held in numerous silk tents and outdoor bathing areas on his estate.
Justin concedes to Chrissie’s demands only to gain information about his long-lost mother and sisters, but the world-weary viscount falls head over heels in love with his emotionally bruised pupil. He yearns for a wife, children, and an uncomplicated wife, but can he convinced Chrissie to take a chance and marry again? Because Justin never wants to leave her bed.

My
Review:
It's
been four years since he was forced to leave England or suffer the
consequences of an angry father, Justin Tremayne learns a lot about
the erotic arts and how to satisfy women. And Justin is great at it,
he's been servicing women and making tons of money. Now is the time
to return home and put that money toward what Justin really wants.
After
talking to a great deal of rakes, Lady Chrissie Wellsby decides to
contact the Viscount Hawksbury to assist herself and her two best
friends Gillian and Anna in learning about what men like in bed. And
just to make sure Justin will say yes, Lady
Chrissie
tells him she has some information about his mother and sisters.
Not
sure he can trust Lady Chrissie to have the information he needs to
find his family, Justin hesitates. After seeing his friend Edward,
who is Gillian's husband, in a local pub totally wasted, Justin helps
his friend sober up and has a heart to heart talk with him. Justin,
now armed with a little insight into the whys of the three women, he
agrees to take them to his brothel. Hoping that the genteel ladies
will run from the brothel at the first room, Justin is taken aback
when the ladies insist on continuing their education.
Justin
wants nothing more than to find his mother and sisters, and start his
own family. There is something about Lady Chrissie that inflames him,
and causes him to want to make her his private student...forever.
The
Viscount's Pleasure House by Suzi
Love is such a delightful read with an unexpected
outcome. Ms.
Love does a wonderful job making Justin such a tortured
hero. It was a nice surprise to find out that he acts the playboy
perfectly, but deep down, Justin is a good man. He just has a
difficult time showing it because it's not really expected of him.
There were times I had to laugh out loud at some of the antics he and
his friends engaged in.
Lady
Chrissie was also a refreshing heroine, not the average Lady of the
ton, but a woman with needs and wants who wasn't afraid to go after
it. I liked Lady Chrissie very much, she seemed shy and strong at the
same time.
The
secondary characters were well written and added emotion and
dimension to the book. Gillian and Edward were a fun and exciting
part of The
Viscount's Pleasure
House.
Anna was sweet and naive, which made her endearing to the reader.
Ms.
Love
created a lot of great sexual tension between Justin and Lady
Chrissie and Gillian and Edward. I thoroughly enjoyed The
Viscount's Pleasure House
and would strongly recommend the book to everyone who not only like
historical romance, but just a great romance book.
* Since I've reviewed this book, it's now part of a series, Irresistible Aristocrats Book 1 and has a new cover.
