ARC received from the very funny author for an honest review
(I'm also thinking it's to make up to me for making my cry)
"Honeysuckle, don't you see? You're a prisoner to my affection. A slave to your own mutual craving. Together, we are shackled by two hearts that only beat with vigor when the other is near."
What in the holy hotness did you just give me to read, K. Webster?! Now, I've read maybe a handful of historical romances since I was in high school. Although it's not exactly a hot favorite genre of mine, I do enjoy a good ol' Lady and Lord, Duke and Duchess once in a while. It's like reading a history book but with romance, you know?
Becoming Lady Thomas, though, was one super hot quickie, as I'd like to describe it. It's really that -- it's super, it's fan-yourself-hot, and it's a quickie read. The author succeeded in making my shattered heart be whole and on fire with how much sexiness there is in this book!
Elisabeth Merriweather has been in love with William since they were young, or so she thought it was love. I didn't really have any love for that guy and maybe that's why I like that K. Webster wrote him in such a way that would make the readers appreciate Lord Thomas way more. When William left for university, he made a promise that once he finishes, he and Elisabeth will marry. That is until Elisabeth's father fell into a huge debt to Lord Thomas and the only way to pay him off is by the Lord marrying one on the Merriweather girls of his choosing.
When Lord Jasper Thomas laid his eyes on a portrait of Elisabeth, he was a goner. He knew who he wants and he wants to get her. Own her. Elisabeth and Jasper's chemistry is explosive. Every time Jasper opens his mouth, it's like he's saying words made for orgasm. Lord Thomas is like a... historical alpha caveman! I liked how Elisabeth kept resisting their pull but always end up giving in to what her body and heart want, and that is Jasper and his touch. But he's not just all about the sex, he's also about really caring and being protective of Elisabeth and her welfare. He's actually pretty sweet if you look deeper into what he's showing and how he's acting.
I enjoyed Elisabeth and Jasper's story because even though it was a quick read, the story was there, the romance was there, even the frustrating side characters were present.
On to Elisabeth's sister's, Edith, story?
Stars: 4.5 stars
