"An inviting Victorian romance"
In 1870 London, Lady Caroline Linford accidentally
catches her fiancé Lord Hurst Winchilsea making love to
Lady Jacquelyn Seldon. Unobserved, by the lovers, Caroline
quietly leaves the boudoir realizing that she must not be
up to par in bed if Hurst is already seeking solace
elsewhere. As Caroline tries to regain her equilibrium and
debates calling off her engagement, Braden Granville
arrives demanding to know where his betrothed Jacquelyn
is. Caroline protects her fiancé knowing he would be dead
in a duel if Braden found him in a clinch with Jacquelyn. Instead Caroline asks Braden to teach her how to seduce
Hurst. Though he wants to avoid simmering virgins, he
agrees because he believes she knows the identity of
Jacquelyn's lover and his lovemaking skills will soon have
her reveal the individual. However, Braden soon wonders
who is educating who as they soon both want to become a
permanent relationship. EDUCATING CAROLINE is an inviting Victorian romance
that is at its best when it is a tale of the manners of the
elite in and out of the boudoir. The infusion of a well
written and exciting mystery add suspense and action, but
actually takes away from an amusing yet powerful bedroom
drama starring a delightful pair. Patricia Cabot provides
readers have a novel that is an impressive yarn that will
furbish plenty of pleasure for fans. Harriet Klausner
