On a deeper level, this was a story of seduction. (Along with his sublime baiser du ciel tart 😋) Bram is my newest book boyfriend… God, he was so damn sexy I just wanted to eat him up. On the surface, this was a captivating story of a 40-something man who fell madly, deeply in love with a younger woman who had no desire to marry. Rosalind might well allow herself to be ruined while learning how to make the perfect cake.īut does Torrington have the recipe to win her heart? Torrington, unreformed rake, and custard maker is seducing Rosalind…one decadent recipe at a time. The mere mention of cherries sends Rosalind’s pulse fluttering. Custard, it seems is meant to be tasted from a man’s fingers. Flour and sugar become sensual when whispered in Torrington’s smoky voice. Soon, Rosalind is being tempted with tortes…and Torrington. And Torrington owns a copy of the very cookbook Rosalind is desperate to get her hands on. The earl isn’t only breathtaking to look at, he’s well-versed in the culinary arts. Marriage, especially to the much older, far too handsome Earl of Torrington would ruin all Rosalind’s plans. She only needs to find a copy of the cookbook. She’s certain the key to her future is a collection of unique recipes so exquisite, so rare, that her success and her independence is guaranteed. Her dream is to become London’s finest purveyor of desserts and sweets. Rosalind Richardson is in her third season, pleasantly plump and with an unrestrained passion for making tarts.
