About the Author

I am an avid reader of novels with a deep passion for writing. I especially love romance and adore writing about people falling in love. I live a lot in the worlds I create and I actively speak to my characters (out loud). I have a warrior way “never give up on my dream.” When I am not writing, I spend a copious amount of time drooling over Rick Grimes from Walking Dead, watching Japanese Anime and playing video games with my love. I also have a horrible weakness for Ice cream. :)

4 married but not together, slow burn stars

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

A chance meeting between Sylvester Wentworth, Earl of Carrington, and the daughter of a neighboring Viscount (Daphne) leads to a marriage by blackmail.... When Daphne first encounters the handsome stranger who pulls her and her pup from the rushing waters, she is attracted to him; after a storm necessitates that they spend a little more time together which they spend talking about many topics, she is infatuated. Her coming out is only a few weeks away, and she is excited to see this gentleman again. After hearing her description of the man who rescued his daughter (and after she assures him nothing untoward occurred between them), the Viscount hatches a plan to secure his daughter's future by blackmailing the man she wants: the Earl of Carrington.

Sylvester is disgusted at the lengths the Viscount has stooped to not with his threats to Sylvester's family. Though the Earl is a very powerful man, the secret is not his and is not one that he can easily bury in the time he was given by the Viscount. He agrees, and "courts" and weds Daphne in short order, but on her wedding night, he tells her he will never care for her and that their marriage is a total sham. Daphne is shocked as she had no idea what her father did, and she is ashamed that he trapped the Earl into marrying her. Sylvester refuses to believe her claims of innocence; thus, they have spent the last 6 years mostly apart. Even when they occupy the same space, they barely speak, and Daphne is beyond miserable.

Sylvester has been away for 6 months, and Daphne has had enough of his stony silence and refusal to engage with her on any level. She is prepared to take drastic measures to leave him and start a new life where she may have a chance some day at love. Though the scandal would be tremendous, Daphne wants a divorce. Her attorney told her that she would not have the standing to end their marriage, but the Earl would; thus, she has decided to create a scandal of epic proportions to force his hand. Little does she know that Sylvester has returned, and after a near death experience, he realizes that life is short, and he must move forward with life with the hand he has been dealt. But is it too late? Has Daphne set her sights on another man? Will Sylvester believe her that she was innocent in her father's scheme? And when their lives are threatened, will they even be able to consider a life together?

What I liked:
--- Very intense H, and the author's descriptions of his behavior and expressions really brought him to life
--- The h was very likeable; she grew a lot in the story and stood her ground with respect to several situations when earlier in life she may have been easily swayed
--- The plot was fast-moving, and it had action, intrigue, and suspense
--- Once we GOT to the steamy goodness, it was GOOD ;)

What I didn't like as much:
--- SLOW BURN!! I was not used to this with Stacy Reid's novels as most would be considered erotica
--- ANGST GALORE - while most of it was important to the story, there were some times where I just felt like smacking one or the other mc's head to just get over it

Overall, an enjoyable read that kept me glued to the pages to see what would happen next.

Plot --- 4/5
Main Characters --- 4/5
Supporting Cast --- 4/5
Steam Level* --- 3/5
Violence --- nothing graphic
Language --- not egregious
POV --- 3rd

*Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild; 2/5 - sensual but nothing descriptive; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere; 4/5 - yes please! ; 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all

Enjoyed plot & good pace most of story

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018

Chapter one starts with, meh, volley between present thoughts and past conversations with others. But hang in there! Story builds momentum and gets better. Kept me riveted until near end, where it backtracked into characters thoughts and pace slowed.
Not as good as first in series but still worth a read. 3.25 stars.

Good, but a bit gloomy 3.5 rounded to 4 stars

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

The hero is a jerk. For a while he isn’t, but he very easily falls back into jerkiness.

The author is skilled at her craft which is why the hero’s emotional cruelty - and one act of physical cruelty on his wedding night - is overcome. For the most part.

I wish the author had spent a bit of time with these two characters during their estrangement. I totally understood the heroine’s emotional distress, but the hero’s actions during the ensuing years against a girl just out of the school room (as described after-the-fact) just make him unrelatable and close-minded.

How is it everyone but the hero could see the countess’ goodness? What a dope. He truly doesn’t deserve the heroine, and she forgives him too easily.

Still, it’s an entertaining story.

First time reading this Author. The story was fresh and the writing was great. Even had a little danger/mystery. The ending....I could have swooned ! Overall I loved this box and can't wait to read more by Stacy Reid!!

As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed Stacy Reid's latest novel. The passion and steam were evident even in a forced marriage such as our dear couple's.

We first met Lady Daphne Carrington in DUCHESS BY DAY, MISTRESS BY NIGHT. She appeared to be slightly unhappily married to an admirable and decent man. I was shocked to learn her story. I recall writing something to the effect of Rhys Tremayne being my favorite hero after reading that book. Well, Lady Daphne Carrington is certainly up there as one of my favorite heroines now.

Sylvester, Lord Carrington initially presents as a cold, duty-bound autocrat. Reid reveals him slowly as so much more than appearances. I rooted for this couple to find their happy. I cheered merrily when they did.

The antagonists were ruthless and their comeuppance was well deserved. I am always excited to see a new Stacy Reid story pop up in Kindle. I drop whatever I'm reading to start. This was no exception. I highly recommend it to all.

Love this author. She gets me to genuinely care about the characters and gives both halves of the couple a voice.
Lively conflict and some serious steam in the love scenes too. I would advise those offended by explicit sex give it a pass and those who want the book to be mostly sex also. It's just right for me tho!

Disappointed

Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2020

Did not enjoy the storyline or any of the characters. Lead male was vengeful and domineering and really didn’t deserve the lead female. Lead female was flighty and somewhat weak. Did not enjoy any of the intimate scenes, especially how he took her virginity after they were first married, he really didn’t have any redeeming qualities. The only aspect I was impressed with was that he remained loyal to his vows for the 6 years of separation (a rarity in these novels).
