by Nicola Cornick
Historical romance, why have I ignored you so? What was I thinking? You bring me such joy! You make me smile while I’m reading clever dialogue. I have to fan myself when things get hot and heavy (don’t judge, you know you do it too). I get a little rush of excitement when things come together in the...
Desired was one of those books that would have been way better if it hadn't been chock full of unnecessary side plots. Both main characters needed at least 80 years to live everything that supposedly happened to them.Owen is an American who had been in the Navy, fought against the British in some wa...
Nicola Cornick was well on her way onto my favourite authors list, and then the last forty pages of Desired happened. But let's go back and start with the good, shall we. Cornick introduces our heroine Lady Tess Darent, a dowager three times over, in the middle of an awkward escape. She's carrying t...
I really enjoyed Mistress at Midnight and Notorious by the same author, so I was hoping to enjoy this one just as much! That didn't quite work out for me, but it was still a nice read.Mistress by Midnight got me wondering about Tessa, cause she's the sister of the heroine of that particular historic...
Desired is the first book I’ve read by Nicola Cornick, but won’t be my last. I was lucky enough to get an early copy from NetGalley. I usually don’t read books in a series out of order, but when I read about Desired, I knew I had to break my own rule. Personally, I think it stands alone pretty well,...
Desired is the fifth book in The Scandalous Women of the Ton series by Nicola Cornick and my second book by this author. Teresa, Dowager Marchioness of Darent has a reputation on the ton as a woman of excesses, men, clothes, gambling and alcohol are her passion or at least is what she has let others...
The last thing Tess wants is another husband. She's had three already. And through his abuse, one of them destroyed her ability to be intimate. So she is just fine being single. She spends her vast amounts of money supporting charities that help women in need. And she spends her time and considerabl...
Teresa, Marchioness of Darent, has been married and widowed three times, making quite the scandal among the ton. She is seen as frivolous, as someone who spends her money freely on clothes and gambling, and as someone with many lovers. She uses this reputation to hide her involvement with the reform...

4.5 starsI feel that I've found a new favorite author in Nicola Cornick. I've only read two books from her but in both, she manages to write emotional, heartfelt tales and heroes who I deeply care for. In this one, we meet Lady Tess as she escapes from a brothel during a raid. Teresa (or Tess) is a ...
