Lessons from a Courtesan

Justin Talbot, the Earl of Baybary, finds himself blackmailed into marriage with Victoria Reed although they don’t know each other. Victoria thinks after a sensual Wedding night, that the marriage will work out fine, but she is shocked when Justin leaves her next morning to go to London. Three years go by in which she earns the respect of Justin’s retainers. When one of her friends disappears, she goes to London to become the Courtesan “Ria”, a way for her to find her friend. Justin realizes that she meant more to him than he ever thought and that he can’t stand the idea that another man touches her. Will she give him a second chance? LESSONS FROM A COURTESAN is an extremely sexy and very hot story and not your typical tame Regency. Ms. Petersen really knows how turn up the heat and to fan the flames of passion. Justin as well as Victoria are both two very stubborn characters, who ignite pure fireworks when they butt their heads, but not only than. Justin is a complex person with his own secrets and Victoria’s character is much deeper that you would guess when you meet her for the first time. She holds quite a few surprises for Justin, which he never thought possible. She is the perfect counterpart to him, it’s like two halves become one. LESSONS FROM A COURTESAN is a very enjoyable story and I hope that there will be a sequel, because there are some really promising secondary characters.
