Historical
From Goodreads:
From the
Diary of Leonie Noirot: The perfect corset should invite its undoing . . .
Lethally
charming Simon Fairfax, Marquess of Lisburne, has reluctantly returned to
London for one reason only: a family obligation. Still, he might make time for
the seduction of a certain redheaded dressmaker—but Leonie Noirot hasn't time
for him. She's obsessed with transforming his cousin, the dowdy Lady
Gladys, into a swan.
Leonie's
skills can coax curves—and profits—from thin air, but his criminally handsome
lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to appreciate her genius. He badly
needs to learn a lesson, and the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once
and for all.
A great plan, in theory—but
Lisburne's become a serious distraction, and Leonie's usual logic is in danger
of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise. Could the Season's greatest
transformation be her own?
I loved the first two books in The
Dressmakers series and have been looking forward to book three. I loved
Leonie. She has always been the
practical sister taking care of the business end of their shop. Now her other two sisters are married not
longer as big a part of the business as before. Leonie is determined to keep the business going and does not
plan to let anything get in her way.
Then Simon Fairfax shows up and she finds she is not as practical as she
thought. At the same time Simon
presents himself as totally impractical but he is anything but.
The two embark on interesting
journey. I loved how they
interacted and how each of their characters were revealed as the story
progressed. Once again Loretta
Chase has written a fascinating story full of romance, laughter and love. Vixen in Velvet is a great end the the
Dressmaker series.
Avon published Vixen in Velvet by
Loretta Chase in 2014.
I received an ARC of Vixen in Velvet from Edelweiss.
