“One of the finest romance authors of all time.”—Julia Quinn“[Loretta Chase has] a rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers won’t be able to forget them.”—Susan Elizabeth PhillipsOne of the most beloved authors in the field of historical romance, the remarkable Loretta Chase proves that Silk is For Seduction. The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author brings readers the first in a very sexy, emotionally rich new series in which sisters from a rather scandalous aristocratic family—the purveyors of the most fashionable shop in Regency London—discover passion and love as sumptuous as the exquisite gowns they create. Stephanie Laurens fans will adore this sensuous love story, as ambitious dressmaker Marcelline attempts to win the patronage of a future duchess…and ends up inadvertently enchanting the Duke!

Lui da viziato libertino si ev...
I am pleased that this turned out to be such a captivating novel. I believe that this could be her second best work so far. The story is so very plausible that you really feel a part of it. Keep on the good work Loretta :)
4/5; 4 stars; A-Its been quite some time since I've read a book by Loretta Chase and I am happy to be re-acquainted with her. I really like the style of historical romance she writes. This book had smart, witty, and interesting main characters. I found a lot of humour in the story as well as an en...
Marcelline, the heroine, is a remarkably well-drawn character. I loved the interplay between her and the Duke of Clevedon. I felt like I was watching a movie especially the scenes during and after the fire. This novel would make a great romantic over-the-top movie, with lush costumes and sets. I lov...
