When Lenora Blakely learns she must marry a man more than twice her age to pay off her father’s debts, she doesn’t expect his nephew to make her weak at the knees with a brief stroke of his tongue to her palm. Soon, Lord Blackford’s flirtations provide her with a means to experience the pleasure of a lover’s touch before she marries. But what begins as a tempting challenge quickly leads to a series of improper nights filled with overwhelming passion. As the time for her wedding draws near, will Lenora be able to follow through on her promised duty? My Thoughts:
Lenora is a woman who has always valued her freedom. But now she is paying for her father’s mistakes. If she cannot find a way to payback her father’s debt she will be forced to marry. Lenora is given 14 days to get her affairs in order. After 14 days she must marry and fulfill the contract that her father signed.
Lord Blackford has shown up just in time to see his uncle married off and then he can claim what is rightfully his. But all that changes when he meets Lenora and is drawn to her, but knowing that she is to marry his uncle is unsettling.
Lenora and Blackford chemistry is undeniable and with only 14 days until she loses her freedom she plans to take full advantage of them. Blackford tries to do everything he can to avoid Lenora, but every time he turns around she is there.
Even though this story was short it was filled with so many emotions and yes I cried. The way that Leslie develops this story is wonderful. Two people, who are drawn together, but know that there is no chance for a future together. I loved the twists and turns that Leslie put me through with this story.
I would have loved to have this story long just so I could find out more about Lenora and Blackford‘s relationship, how they are doing, what the future holds. Are they happy? Maybe Leslie will bring them back in another story.
I have to say a special thank you to Leslie for letting me read this story before you published it. I hope that in some small tiny way I helped you. I was so excited to learn that she gave me an acknowledgement in her book… I know what you’re thinking. I was thinking the same thing. Me? Little’ol me? But at least it was me. Thank you, Leslie. I hope that my little blog can help spread the word about you and your books

Great reveiw <3
Kathy,
I have this story on my Kindle too and the acknowledgements are at the VERY end of the story…. But I can ask Leslie if it is going to be in print…
Thanks for all the support Kathy… It means a lot to me.
Yep, I have it already too! Had to see our girl's acknowledgement!! Whoo hoo Kelly!
Hi all! Leslie here. It's less than 50 pages long so it's not cost-effective for me to set it up for print. If you really want to read it on paper, there is the option to buy it on Smashwords as a PDF file and then print it off the computer.
Hope you all enjoy the story — and I really did appreciate Kelly's willingness to read through it and catch any errors before it went on sale!
🙂
i got this when you told me it had your name in it….still have to read it ….
