Here's the blurb:

Beware the devil in disguise…

The year is now 1685 and Maggie’s father has just been crowned King of Great Britain, but that doesn’t mean trouble is over for the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody. Rather than cool the flames of hatred between Papists and Protestants, the coronation of a Catholic monarch has only added accelerant to the already raging blaze. Two-faced devils lurk in every corner of the royal court, as do diseases with the power to kill and maim. When Robert falls prey to the smallpox virus, it looks as though Maggie will lose the two people most precious to her—her beloved husband and their only child—the son she bore three months before after five years of heartbreaking miscarriages and stillbirths. The one person in London who can help save her son demands a steep price in exchange her services. Will Maggie trade Robert’s hard-won fidelity to save her only child…or offer the apothecary an even more scandalous alternative?

Note: ROYAL PAINS contains highly erotic content and is intended to be read in order.

A very naughty historical romance, set in the very dangerous court of King James II

Robert, the Duke of Dunwoody has been a good and loyal friend to the new king for years. His wife Rosebud is the king's illegitimate daughter. The king has two legitimate daughters who may be plotting to take their father's crown. Robert and Rosebud have been married for five years, and now have their much longed for son. When Robert is struck down with smallpox it looks as if Rosebud could lose her whole family.
The political machinations going on behind the scenes are dangerous for anyone connected to the disputed crown.
Rosebud is a loving but very jealous wife. She knows the sort of life her husband lived, and finds it hard to believe he has stayed faithful.
Robert and Rosebud's sex life is adventurous. When a person from the past puts pressure on them, how will they cope with what may have to be done.
This book nearly melted my kindle. It is very naughty, but there is no crude language at all. Our hero is completely devoted to his wife, and she to him, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

The third book in the series, possible to read as a stand alone. but better when read in order.

I will certainly be waiting for the next book in the series.

Watch the trailer!

The Duke´s Bedeviled Bride, ( Royal Pains #2) by Nina Mason. Blog Tour. Trailer + My ARC Review.

Today, we are featuring The Duke's Bedeviled Bride, book two in the erotic historic Royal Pains series by Nina Mason. The series, set in Scotland and England during the Restoration period, is available in e-book or paperback.

Buy it now at Amazon.com

Here's the blurb:

The tawdry tale of the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody continues…

Maggie Armstrong, the long-lost illegitimate daughter of the heir presumptive to the throne, is bedeviled by her husband's limited definition of fidelity. After observing him in a ménage à trois at the court of King Charles II, she is determined to bring him around to her way of thinking—by any means necessary.

Robert doesn’t mind being punished for his transgressions. Rather, he enjoys being whipped, especially by his beloved bride. Unfortunately, her heart might not belong to him alone. His younger brother, who he’d sent abroad to clear the way for himself, is coming home sooner than expected, and Maggie’s feelings for Hugh may not be as dead as her husband had hoped.

Both duke and duchess soon learn, to their peril, Hugh Armstrong is not the honorable man they’d been led to believe. Insanely jealous of his brother’s situation, Hugh will stop at nothing to strip Robert of all he holds dear—including his life.

But the real danger for Robert and Maggie is not the villainous Marquess, but the growing friction betwixt Catholics and Protestants in Restoration Era Great Britain.

Can their love survive the trials that await them?

MY ARC REVIEW:

I received an Arc, but that does not colour my review in any way.

★★★★
The Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody, Robert and Maggie have only been married a short while. His idea of fidelity in marriage is slightly different to hers. When they have returned to the Ducal estate Maggie is determined to punish him for hurting her. Unfortunately or fortunately Robert likes to be punished.
Robert's brother brings a new bride home from France, just as Robert needs to go to London. That journey proves to have terrible consequences, Both at home and in London.
This story is very different from the usual historical romance I read. It contains a little light BDSM, which to be honest I found amusing rather than erotic. (But that's just me ) . Our hero loves our heroine to distraction but like a lot of men has a one sided view of love. Our heroine is struggling to come to terms with both sides of her character . Her normal, convent reared "good girl" and the dominant mistress that plays with her husband. Family relationship plays a big part in this story, some good and some very bad.
