This was a delightful tale full of passion, romance, and mild mystery. The connection between Becca and Geoffrey is instant, which is new for Becca, as she has previously diverted male attentions. Geoffrey is also reluctant to admit his love, since his fiancee had cheated on him with his brother, whom she ended up marrying when she got pregnant. The sexual encounters between Becca and Geoffrey are steamy, lust-filled, and sufficiently descriptive. The mystery of who is trying to ruin Geoffrey is puzzling enough to keep you reading. It eventually becomes easy to guess who the villain is, despite a few attempts to throw the reader off course, and the end result will be a bit of a surprise. You also get to see the couple with their ups and downs, which is refreshing, as no relationship is perfect. There are attempts to drive the couple apart, so you also get to see them deal with the outside forces that do not want them to stay together. I would recommend this to historical fans that don't mind the intimacies of the bedroom.Favorite Quote: It was a promise of forever with every kiss and caress and it was unbelievably satisfying.This book was available for free at the time of my review. More than Passion by JoMarie DeGioia finds its setting in Victorian England in the days of Earls and Dukes and fair maidens. Geoffrey Kane, Earl of Kanewood is a man who was betrayed by his fiancée some years back and has but one use for women. That is how his life was until he met by a chance encounter the beautiful raven haired daughter of an inn keeper. He was determined not to find more with her than passion, but as the story unfolds he finds love. He also finds someone has taken his identity and is passing bank notes supposedly signed by him. The underlying plot of the mystery is as much a part of the story as the romantic interest he finds in "Becca" who becomes his beautiful wife. An enjoyable and sometimes mysterious look into the life and times, as well as the romance of that period in history.
