At birth, Mick Trewlove, the illegitimate son of a duke, was handed over to a commoner. Despite his lowly upbringing, Mick has become a successful businessman, but all his wealth hasn’t satisfied his need for revenge against the man who still won’t acknowledge him. What else can Mick do but destroy the duke’s legitimate son—and woo the heir’s betrothed into his own unloving arms . . .

Orphaned and sheltered, Lady Aslyn Hastings longs for a bit of adventure. With her intended often preoccupied, Aslyn finds herself drawn to a darkly handsome entrepreneur who seems to understand her so well. Surely a lady of her station should avoid Mick Trewlove. If only he weren’t so irresistible . . . 

As secrets are about to be exposed, Mick must decide if his plan for vengeance is worth risking what his heart truly desires.

It’s been a long while since I’ve read a regency romance. It’s not that I dislike them, I’ve just been reading other genres … mostly YA and sci-fi (‘cause I kinda write in those genres myself). But when I saw the gorgeous cover of BEYOND SCANDAL AND DESIRE by Lorraine Heath, I fell in cover-love. Yes, it’s true … I confess that I’m one of those shallow folks who judges a book by its cover. And this cover, oh, this cover. Just look at it! Even now, having read the book, I stroke the cover and think “Dagnabit all to heck! I want Mick Trewlove to take me into his strong arms the way he’s embracing Lady Aslyn!”

But, you know as well as I do that a book is more than the covers that contain the story within. And so, I carefully turned back the delicious cover (because I don’t like my books to look like they’ve been read by anyone…yeah, I’m weird like that) and I was immediately drawn in by this sentence:

Do tell! I thought as I leaned forward, resting my chin in my hand as if I was about to get dished a scandalous story. After all, what girl doesn’t like hearing about a little bit of improper rebellion and a dash of scandal? *Raises Hand* I know I do, yo!

*Le Sigh* Surely, I’m not the only gal in town who loves a fine-lookin’ bad boy who’s secretly a good guy on the inside, am I? Oh, Mick Trewlove, Ms. Heath did you right when she gave you that last name. Because, dayum! I’ve done fell into trewlove with you, yo! Alas, I digress. The question is: does he or does he not win the heart and hand of the fair Lady Aslyn? Does his jerk of a birth father, an uppity duke, ever claim him as his son?

Oh, how I long to give you all the details of this story, but you know me by now. I’m not one to give spoilers … especially for a book like this. For you see, this book deserves to be enjoyed like a delectable dessert. Each nibble reveals another delicious layer of goodness.

Heath has whipped up a sweet mixture of complex characters, added the right amount of flavoring to tempt the taste buds, and included a dash of delicious spice that leaves the reader wanting just one more bite. 

BEYOND SCANDAL AND DESIRE by Lorraine Heath kept me up into the wee hours of the night, longing to read just one more page.
