Would you like to tell us about a lower price? Anything for Love is a series of four Regency historical romance novels. What You Desire Sebastian Ashcroft, fourth Marquess of Danesfield, had no intention of accompanying Sophie Beaufort on a ludicrous quest to find her missing brother. But desire can do strange things to a man. Capable of handling her own affairs, the last thing she wants is to be encumbered by the dishonourable Marquess of Danesfield — a man she so desperately wants to hate.
But does love once blossomed ever truly fade? What You Propose His mission was to give the lady sanctuary. Falling in love was never part of his agenda. Rather than return to London and the father he despises, Marcus Danbury, the illegitimate son of an earl, works for the Crown or any member of the nobility willing to pay him. However, providing lodgings for the madam of a brothel was never on his agenda. But he owed Lord Danesfield a debt, and Marcus always paid his dues.
Yet Lord Danesfield wants something more from him — information only his current guest can provide. Now it seems he has another assignment — one in the form a luscious temptress with a secret she swears never to tell. What You Deserve A gentleman desperate to numb the pain of the past… Tristan Wells lost everything the day he discovered love was nothing more than a bitter lie. He imagined his hardened heart to be impervious to pain, but one glance at the woman who ruined his life brings the torturous memories flooding back.
A lady abandoned by her one true love… Betrayed by the one person who swore to love and protect her, Isabella Reid had no choice but to marry a man old enough to be her father. But when Lord Fernall died suddenly under mysterious circumstances, people were quick to blame his beautiful bride.
Now another tragedy has occurred. Isabella believes her life is in danger and there is only one man she can turn to for help. What You Promised He promised his name and his protection - but he never promised his love. Matthew Chandler built his fortune catering to the debauched antics of the ton. Suspecting foul play at the gaming table, Matthew needs time and money if he has any hope of uncovering the plot to ruin him.
When Priscilla Smythe finds herself in a compromising situation in the Holbrooks' garden, there appears to be only one option to save her reputation — marry Lord Morford. That is until Matthew Chandler appears with an offer any respectable lady would refuse. From the moment she accepted his offer, he made it clear their marriage was nought but an opportunity to beat their opponents. Theirs was to be a marriage of convenience. This series contains descriptive sex scenes and the odd obscenity.

Love the end where he tells he This book was hard to find. Love the end where he tells her how long he's been in love with from afar and the thruth about himself. May 19, Crista rated it it was amazing Shelves: Now this is what defines the word "keeper". So often romance novels get so redundant that you can't tell one from the next. Not so with this one. Ashworth weaves together a love story of epic proportions with characters so real, likeable, and wounded that they will haunt you long after you finish reading it.
Thomas is a wounded, disfigured spy who is living in Winter Garden, England trying to find a opium smuggling thief. Madeleine is also a spy sent to help Thomas in his pursuit of the criminal Now this is what defines the word "keeper". Madeleine is also a spy sent to help Thomas in his pursuit of the criminal.
The story of Winter Garden tells of these two people's relationship first professionally, but quickly personally and it's evolution. Spoilers revealed could seriously damage the intensity of this book and the overall feeling of "this was something really special" that I can almost guarantee the unsuspecting reader to have. Man, I wish this was in print! I'm half tempted to grit my teeth, fork over the asked used price. It's just that good. May 16, D. If only the reader would have been in on it from the beginning, that whole part of the story wouldn't have been so pointless!
Jun 08, Christa rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was a wonderful book. It was very emotional, and had such a fantastic hero. His love for the heroine was so very sweet and touching. They are sent to Winter Garden, where they investigate opium smuggling. As they work together and get to know each other, they slowly begin a relationship together.
I enjoyed reading about the progressing relationship of the hero and heroine, and I thought they This was a wonderful book. I enjoyed reading about the progressing relationship of the hero and heroine, and I thought they were both great characters. Seldom have a read a book with a hero I liked as well, and I was moved by the way the heroine so effortlessly accepted the hero's physical limitations, something he had not experienced from anyone since his injuries. I have read many reviews over the years saying that this was a fabulous book, and I definitely agree.
Dec 26, Karen rated it did not like it. The social mores of the time period are pretty much disregarded from the get-go Handsome scholar living alone with a gorgeous female "secretary"? We're too busy being treacly at each other! The townsfolk were predictable and the whole smuggling plot particularly the suspected villain was a little too over-the-top gothic for my taste.
Not going to be picking up any more of these. Sep 03, VioletPetal rated it it was amazing Shelves: How I adore this book I finished this one in matter of hours and absolutely in love with it. The story is a bit different than tipical historical romance. It's not just about romance and aristocracy life. In fact, it almost has no scene that contain a real aristocracy lifestyle.
The heroine was also a illegimate child of an addict French actrees with common English man. While the hero was a cripple man who lost his leg during his duty in Hongkong. The good thing is that unlike some other romance book, our author actually made some real scenes and plot for that part.
I'm really glad about that. There are some good sex scenes, but the romance was the one that is really good. Not overly melancholic, but sweet nonthless. I can really relate to their feeling and how each of them changed and had significant role in each other life. The fact that it's actually the guy first who fell, kinda refreshing. Highly recomended to any romance lover Sep 06, Robin rated it it was amazing Shelves: British Spy Thomas Blackwood has been living in the quaint village of Winter Garden when Madeleine DuMais arrives to help him break up a smuggling ring.
Because of his scars and noticeable limp, Thomas is posing as a former soldier who is writing his memoirs.
Madeleine is his secretary who is translating the work into French. The two spies grow close as they live together and work to bring down the smuggling ring. This is a unique historical romance. After reading the backblurb, I expected a big British Spy Thomas Blackwood has been living in the quaint village of Winter Garden when Madeleine DuMais arrives to help him break up a smuggling ring.
After reading the backblurb, I expected a big adventure where the characters fall in love while risking their lives. Instead, I found a quiet wounded hero and a smart independent heroine. It's a great relationship story with scorching sexual tension. I read this story approximately ten years ago and thought it was great.
This time around I listened to the audiobook narrated by Heather Wilds. She does a fantastic job with this story. Feb 21, Cassandra Dexter Colby rated it it was ok Shelves: Personajes desaprovechados en una historia con exceso de sexo. Love expands your soul with something inexplicably fulfilling. If you die without ever having experienced it, you will miss life's only true joy. This statement pretty much sums up this book. Learning to let go and love was the hardest thing Madeline has ever done Thomas and Madeline had great chemistry.
They outright set the pages on fire at times during this book. There were many intense scenes and a one so emotiona Love expands your soul with something inexplicably fulfilling. There were many intense scenes and a one so emotional that I got a little weepy. I loved how strong willed Madeline was and how secure she was in her sexuality. Thomas is a scarred physically hero but there is nothing typical about him. His back story was interesting and different than I thought it would be. Great story-telling on the author's part for giving us a different type of hero in what sometimes can seem mundane in the romance genre.
Great read, great romance, great storytelling. Me ha gustafo mucho Thomas es un personaje masculino que te atrapa EL protagonista es muyyy tierno. Se dejan las cosas claras practicamente desde el principio, asique no son los tipicos con el tira y afloja. Aug 02, Diana rated it it was amazing Shelves: I'm leaving my 5 star rating in place for this wonderful book. Narrator Heather Wilds is one who employs oddly timed pauses. I'm not sure if this is deliberate or the result of inadequate preparation.
I just know that I notice it and it distracts me. View all 4 comments. Loved this book in print when I read it ten years ago. I was totally swept up in the audio as well. It's definitely on my relisten shelf now. Bello, struggente, di una tenerezza infinita! Nov 24, Rachel rated it it was amazing Shelves:
