London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon’s upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other than Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules.

Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable—his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage or it might cause an explosion.

Seducing the Marquess in book one in Lords and Ladies in Love by Callie Hutton. Lady Eugenia Devon is and always has been a thoroughly proper lady – so much so that she has earned the nickname The Ice Queen. Her husband the Marquess of Devon is a thoroughly proper gentleman of the Ton – so much so that he only visits his wife’s bedchamber on scheduled days of the week and keeps a mistress on the side. When Eugenia stumbles upon a book named “Secrets of the Bedchamber”, she discovers that she desires a marriage of love and passion. But to achieve that goal she must seduce her own husband. I absolutely loved this book. It was hilariously funny and had deeply moving moments as well. At one point, I laughed so hard my sides were hurting, only to be brought to tears in just a few chapters. This book touched something deep inside of me. Very moving and a lovely message. A must read.
