Free copy received in exchange for a fair review! Lord Stephen Hornsby is going blind, but before he does he's determined to enjoy all of life's best sights. He's especially keen on watching Lady Penelope Fisherton in the throes of passion, passion he knows he can give to her. Penelope agrees to allow Stephen to try and seduce her, if he'll help clear her name of her terrible, abusive husband's death. She needs someone with good standing in society by her side, as her former brother-in-law is determined to prove she pushed her husband off that cliff. If found guilty, she will lose everything. What follows is a suspenseful romance with very dark themes. Content warnings for mentions of off-page spousal abuse, physical abuse, pedophilia, rape, and sex trafficking. From the description, I wasn't fully aware of how much the central mystery of the story would be, and I felt to the detriment of developing the relationship between Penelope and Stephen. I wanted more time with them on-page and not in bed. I also do not like stories where the woman convinces the man that he truly wants babies, when it is clear from the beginning he does not. As for Stephen's "blindness," I wish he had in fact gone blind. Or that Penelope could not in fact have children (six years married and not one pregnancy?). But, fans of this author will find much to enjoy here
