The end.

ugh no. The show is super hot but diana G 1) needs a good editor and 2) to finds another way to make money other than continuing this series into what, 9 books now. There are a few hot scenes in the books but the other 700 pages go on and on and on about every effing detail that you don't need. In interviews, she comes acorss as both nuts and difficult so I am guessing her publisher doesn't do much to edit her as long as the books make money.

The Tea Rose!!! It's not a steamy romance but it's such a great book. There are two others in the series.

I'll second Sherry Thomas and Julia Quinn (Bridgertons!), and add Sarah MacLean, Grace Burrowes (not the Lost Lords -- start with The Heir), Loretta Chase, and Lisa Kleypas.

I read Catherine Cookson (I was like 12-16) so my judgment is impaired. They're all clean. But I remember them awakening many things in me that till this day, i still want those types of men.

SUMMARY:
She stood at peril's threshold -- then love beckoned her in A prim, well-bred gentlewoman, Sara Fielding is a writer who puts pen to paper to create dreams. But now curiosity is luring her from the shelter of her country cottage into the dangerous world of Derek Craven -- handsome, tough, and tenacious -- and the most exciting man Sara has ever met. Derek rose from poverty to become the wealthy lord of London's most exclusive gambling house. And now duty demands that he allow Sara Fielding to enter his perilous realm of ever-shifting fortunes -- with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. But there is a hidden strength and sensuality to the lady that captivates him beyond his better judgment. And in this world, where danger lurks behind every shadow, even a proper ?mouse? can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress -- and a cynical gambler can be shaken to his core by the power of passion and the promise of love.
