Penelope's Passion

To raise money so she can open a bakery, Penelope decides to work as a courtesan. Michael, her first protector, is planning to stay with her only until he marries the perfect society bride, as his parents wish. What happens when Michael and Penelope fall in love? If you like high-heat Regency romance with a power exchange theme, this book is for you. The characters are likeable and the plot engaging. Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

This is the second story in the "School of Enlightenment" and can be enjoyed as a stand alone read. It does have connected characters and themes. The story is a historical fiction with steam and elements of BDSM; spanking. This one it about Penelope and Michael. I like the characters and the plot is interesting. The story does drag a bit and seems overly wordy but is entertaining, sweet and steamy. I do like how the story wraps up as well.

First and Second it's steamy hot... And it is also a very good read. It is written to a standard you don't come to expect in the historical romance genre. The characters makes sense they are not perfect but act like real people and actually evolves. Also the the conflict is not the typical misunderstandins were the characters have to act like two year old's to keep the plot moving. Pen is a strong character and not a push over, and Michael is dominant without being a jerk
