BLURB
The flames of desire fuel a torrid reunion as bestselling author Bronwen Evans returns with another captivating novel of the Disgraced Lords. See why Jen McLaughlin raves, “Bronwen’s historical romances always make the top of my reading list!”
Lady Evangeline Stuart chose to wed a tyrant with a title, or so society believes. That was five years ago—five long years she could have spent with her first and only love: Lord Hadley Fullerton, the second son of the Duke of Claymore. Now Evangeline is a widow, and her soul cries out for Hadley. But when they see each other at last, everything has changed. The passion in his eyes has been corrupted by betrayal. Somehow Evangeline must regain Hadley’s trust—without revealing the secret that would spoil the seduction.
Hadley is determined not to be distracted by Evangeline. He and the other Libertine Scholars are in pursuit of an enemy who has been striking at them from the shadows, and Evangeline’s mere presence could be dangerous. But with one smile, one touch, one taste of Evangeline’s lips, Hadley’s resolve is overpowered by much more pleasant memories. As the two enter into a discreet affair, Hadley vows to give her his body, never his heart. That she will have to earn.

Review:
Taste of Seduction is the fifth book in The Disgraced Lords historical
romance series by Bronwen Evans. I loved the story and am a big fan of the series!
Lady
Evangeline and Lord Hadley Fullerton have loved each other for a very long
time. They had plans of eloping so they could be together, but those plans
unfortunately didn’t work out.
After five
long years of being broken hearted and feeling betrayed, Hadley sees Evangeline
again. He is very short with her and doesn’t believe her story at first of what
had happened.
Being torn
with trying to believe Evangeline and his curiosity of the events, he meets with
her so she can prove she had nothing to do with what happened. He learns that
Evangeline’s mother interfered with their plan and had her marry Lord Stuart
instead.
The loveless
marriage was very hard for Evangeline and it unfortunately included abuse,
which luckily ended when her husband died. Evangeline was only happy by spending time
with her son Sealey.
Hadley is
one of a group of men called The Libertine Scholars. The group, has been
targeted by an enemy. This madwoman wants revenge for an incident their fathers
had done. When Sealey is kidnapped, they find out who the person is and have to
decide how they will get justice for what has been done to them.
I really
enjoyed reading this story. There is so much emotion with each character. The
reader can feel the love that Evangeline and Hadley have for each other, as
well as the pain they experience. The men and their wives have all become a
solid group of friends and help each other without hesitation.
The suspense
of what happens also is intriguing. I found myself not wanting to put the book
down so I could see what happened next.
I am looking
forward to reading the next book in the series, A Night of Forever, which is
Arend and Isobel’s story.
Author Bio
About Bron:
Author Bronwen Evans USA Today Bestselling author, Bronwen Evans (Bron), loves story-telling – gobbling up movies, reading books and attending the theater. Her head is always filled with characters and stories, particularly lovers in angst. Is it any wonder she’s a proud romance writer.
Bronwen attended Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand earning a bachelor’s degree in Commerce and Administration, majoring in Marketing and Accounting. She was all set on building herself a business career (which she did along the way).
But life never turns out exactly as one thinks. After working for a few years in marketing roles within New Zealand financial institutions, she left for a 6 month overseas experience in London, England. She loved England. She spent several years living in London, using it as a base to be able to work and travel from. She visited all four corners of the world. Her most interesting trips were a camel safari in the Sahara, a trip through Russia, a safari through Africa with her mother, and three months in the Mediterranean.
It was while living and working in London she discovered the offices of Mills & Boon and the germ of an idea to embark on a romance writing career was born.
Almost eight years later, on her return to New Zealand, encouraged by a close friend battling a life-threatening illness, Bronwen finally started down the path to publication by joining RWA, The Beau Monde, RWAustralia and RWNZ.
Bronwen’s first manuscript, INVITATION TO RUIN, was completed late 2009, and was sold to Kensington Publishing early 2010, in a two book deal. Her debut novel, INVITATION TO RUIN, received a 4.5 star rating from RT Book Reviews and was nominated in the RT Reviewer’s Choice Awards – Best First Historical. Invitation to Ruin was also won the RomCon Readers Crown Best Historical 2012.
Bron’s since gone on to win the RomCon Readers Crown three times. Her first book in her Disgraced Lords series hit the USA Today bestsellers list and she has hit it several times since.
She lives in New Zealand in sunny Hawkes Bay with her two Cavoodles named Brandy and Duke.
