A Passion for Him by Sylvia Day
Miss Amelia Benbridge is ready to leave behind a past filled with heartbreak for a sensible marriage. Until temptation itself comes calling, with an invitation to seduction…
SHE LOVED AND LOST HIM ONCE… Amelia Benbridge and the Earl of Ware are the most anticipated match of the Season. Lord Ware is handsome, wealthy, and kind, and he understands that her love will always belong to her childhood sweetheart, Colin. When Colin died, Amelia believed she would never feel such passion again. But her primal reaction to the brooding stranger who approaches her at a masquerade, coaxing her into a moonlit minuet and a single, sensual kiss, proves otherwise…
Colin Mitchell knew a pairing between a peer’s daughter and a gypsy stable boy was impossible. Amelia’s mistaken belief in his demise afforded him the opportunity to return to her as a man of means. But time has slipped through his fingers. She is preparing to wed another and danger prevents him from revealing the truth. Colin can only bid her a secret farewell, but he underestimates her determination to unmask her phantom admirer. A forbidden kiss leads to her ardent pursuit and a soul-scorching affair. Amelia is perfectly attuned to his every desire, every thought-and hungry for stability he can’t offer her. For deception lies at the heart of their love, waiting to drive them apart once again…
I haven’t read this. Sadly I don’t even have this yet. I know… I feel badly for me too.
I am not sure if I am going to like it. The whole secret identity thing is very hit or miss with me. It has a lot to do with how it is explained, why the hero or heroine didn’t figure it out and most of all how long the deception goes on. But most of Sylvia Day’s books sound like something that is going to hit an issue with me and some how or another she works around it.
So I always find myself wanting to read the next book. What do you think?
I want this one. It has that whole Princess Bride feel to it, does it not? Of course I also want The Stranger I Married because I love married character stories but uhm so far I haven’t broken down and got it. NO idea why. Just haven’t. I may just wait and buy them together because I really do want to read both of these.
i feel the same way sybil-but sylvia always makes it work. i’m definitely going to get this.
maya-the stranger i married is really good…so don’t wait too long. 😛
You KNOW I’m going to want to read this, Syb! I have a jones for Sylvia Day books like you can’t imagine!
I haven’t read Sylvia Day yet. I have some of her books in the TBR pile – but a gypsy stable boy hero – sounds tempting to me!
I am beyond excited for Amelia and Colin’s story! I think Sylvia has hit her stride and this maybe one of her best so far. 🙂
Colin and Amelia appears in “Passion for the Game”. The ending is a great set-up for this book. I can’t wait to read it!!
What do I think? I think you’ve already given me a buttload of Sylvia Day books for my to-buy list. I also think you should just go ahead and read it so you can tell me if I need to add this one to the list, too! *sigh*
I can’t wait for this one. I do love me a good Sylvia Day book! I started to freak when I saw your post – I thought you had read it already, and I was gonna be peeved, big time! And Maya, I agree with Ames – don’t wait. Get TSIM now!
