"Wonderful sexy romp you're sure to love!!"

Viscount Thurlow Dewland feels obligated to his old friend, Jerningham, an old missionary friend in India. Jerningham loaned the Viscount money in the past but has now agreed to cancel the debt if one of the Viscount's sons will marry his daughter, Gabrielle. Dewland agrees and promptly instructs his younger son, Peter, that he is to marry the girl.

Peter, however, is not interested in marriage. His only interest is to retain his role as a fashion leader for the ton. While Peter may be a good looking man, he seems to be a dandy compared to his older brother, Erskine, better known as Quill to his friends. Quill offers to marry the Jerningham's daughter but his father refuses for he believes Quill is a cripple. Six years before, Quill suffered from a riding accident which left him with a damaged hip and severe migraines that seem to be triggered from rhythmic movement. The Viscount believes Quill is impotent and therefore, half a man.

That, however, is not totally true. Quill, handome, muscular, and very much a man in all ways, is not impotent. He can complete the act of consummation but the act will no doubt trigger his headache and be accompanied with a great deal of nausea and pain. When he sets eyes on Gabrielle, all thoughts of how unpleasant consummation can be promptly flee his head. The sensual, slightly untidy and very voluptuous Gabby sets his blood on fire. Of course, she has the totally opposite reaction on Peter, who seems horrified by her generous curves and her sense of fashion.

Circumstances force Quill to spend a lot of time with Gabby and he seems to find it very difficult to keep his hands off her. With Peter's firm refusal, after a disastrous evening at Gabby's first ball in London, Quill is given the perfect opportunity to devise a plan to be the one to marry Gabby.

ENCHANTING PLEASURES is the last novel in the delicious trilogy by Eloisa James. Ms. James' latest release is a wonderfully crafted novel with unforgettable characters.

The scintillating prose throughout the novel will have you falling in love with the story and with Quill from the very beginning. With plenty of sexual tension woven into this intricately crafted plot, tantalizing dialogue and delightful characters, ENCHANTING PLEASURES is wonderfully sexy romp that will thrill readers!
