Product Description

Product Description

Once, a long time ago, Coco Wild learned to never allow a man's kiss to move her, for that way led to downfall. A slender beauty with alluring eyes, she built impregnable defenses around her emotions. The men who came to adore her, fought to conquer her and learn her mysteries, made her the toast of London, but none were able to rouse her passions.

Beauty Awakens

But that hard-taught lesson is about to unravel because of Sir James Stoker. Back in England with a treasure of gold from his adventures, newly knighted by Queen Victoria herself, and feted everywhere, the handsome explorer has the world at his feet. He's exactly the man Coco might have dreamed about when she was young: a tall, fair hero with a charming smile. Now he's turned his energy toward winning her, the most desirable and the least attainable woman he knows; and Coco's aft-aid James may just find his way past the thorns that have so long protected her from the world, and awaken her slumbering heart...with just one kiss.

Synopsis

The toast of London after his latest geological expedition to Africa, Sir James Stoker chooses for his next conquest the slender beauty Coco Wild, the least attainable woman in the city, whose desire for men has long lain dormant.

I was attracted by the raving review to buy this book but I was disappointed. The story about the romance between a beautiful older woman , a one-time courtesan and a younger man is not original and the writer did not make it refreshing or captivating.The story drags and I found myself impatiently skipping pages in order to get on with the plot.I would give it **1/2 stars.

This book is both romantically delightful and psychologically provocative as it explores the relationship between two intelligent passionate people and the forces that conspire to keep them apart. This is the kind of book you return to again and again, just for the sheer pleasure of being immersed in Ms. Ivory's sensuous world.

A retired Victorian demi-mondaine as Sleeping Beauty! What a wonderful concept. Young, eager, on top of the world, newly knighted for his exploits in Africa and far wealthier than he ever imagined--Sir James Stoker is turned head over heels when he meets an exquisite, elusive older woman, the fascinating Mrs. Coco Wild. Coco lives on the edge of respectability, for the gossip is that in the past she has entertained lovers as varied as the emperor of France and the Prince of Wales. James knows nothing for sure about Coco, only that he cannot resist his attraction to her, even if that attraction could ruin his career.

No virtue whatsoever. Yet allowed, cultured, and entertaining. So perfectly polite and sociable. For one silly moment, he thought, why couldnt all the ladies in London be like this. &quote;
