About this ebook

London’s social season is full of surprises for an awkward young woman and her aunt in this Regency romance by the author of The Naked Duke.

Tell Me What You Want

New to London society and rather . . . awkward . . . Lady Grace Belmont would just as soon hide behind the palm trees as dance with a man she doesn’t know. But Baron Dawson is on the hunt for a wife. Grace’s generous curves and remarkable height do not intimidate him. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe his reaction to the charming newcomer as lust.

Before Grace can so much as gather her thoughts, she finds herself in his arms, committing one shocking impropriety after another. The Baron’s devilish attractiveness—to say nothing of his splendid muscles—is simply impossible to resist. Her beloved aunt and chaperone advises patience, but Grace is not about to listen. The handsome baron is whispering such delightful things in her ear . . .

Ratings and reviews

Delightfully funny and charming. Definitely found the back story of the secondary characters way more interesting - I am a sucker for unresolved love stories aged 20+ years. The uncle and the aunt were lovely characters and were pretty well developed, could have done even more with them. Liked Grace and David, too, but felt that poor Parker Roth didn't get a voice in this. I've come to be acquainted with the series by this author though, and glad he is getting his own novel. This part of the series felt like the most realistic so far! Definitely recommend browsing through them.
