This vulnerability is such a contrast with his outward persona. Garrick has this intense vibe about him, but he is also a virgin and carries around such shame about his impairment. Pleasure Me is one of the most sultry and sensual historical romance books I have read. Garrick can’t get sex out of his mind when he is around Ruth, but his shame outweighs his desires – at least at first. He has a physical impairment, that causes him much shame, and can’t bare to be naked with a woman. He has had a mistress in the past, but never entered into a physical relationship with her. Garrick on the other hand is a virgin (obviously a tightly kept secret). Ruth knows he is younger, and assumes if they entered into a relationship, he would eventually cast her aside as well. The more they run into each other, the more their attraction builds. Unknown to the other, they both have interests in two separate orphanages and they both need to expand. They soon find each other again when they both want to purchase the same house. Ruth thinks he is only being nice because he pities her and they part ways. Word of her split has already made the rounds though and to start the ball she is the center of viscous gossip.īaron Garrick Stratfield can’t stand to see a woman hurt, and when he hears Ruth being cut down, he intervenes on her behalf. Determined not to let her former lover get the better of her, she decides to make an appearance at a ball that night. She knows this lifestyle will not last forever, but she is sad to see her younger years have passed her by. Ruth isn’t quite sure how to feel about this. However, her latest lover has cast her aside for someone younger. “Are you one of those women, my lady?”įorty-One year old Lady Ruth has been a courtesan most of her life and a very successful one at that. Her knees gave away, and only his body kept her from sliding to the floor. Favorite Quote: “A teacher of mine once told me that some women like to hear a man whisper naughty words into their ears.” His teeth nibbled at her earlobe.
