(More customer reviews)Victor Rayborne is one of three brothers who loves sex and enjoys being a lover to a vast majority of women. He, along with his eldest brother Sinjin and his younger brother Rory are called the Rakehells of Rochester because of their reputations. But now that Sinjin has found the love of his life, he is very much committed to his future wife. Victor is re-evaluating his own favorite past time since he has met the aunt of Sinjin's fiancée, the widow Lilith Winthrop, Lady Nordland. His attraction to Lilith is instantaneous and now he can only think of her and ways to get her into his bedroom. But Lilith is unlike any woman he has ever tried to seduce. She gives him the cold shoulder and acts uninterested, when she wants nothing more than to lie in his arms and enjoy those pleasures she missed out on her marriage.
Lilith cannot understand why Victor is so interested in her. She is not the type of woman to have an affair, especially with a much younger man like Victor. But everywhere she turns, he is there giving her heated looks that makes her ache deep down inside. But the fact that Victor's prowess in and out of the bedroom is legendary and shocking, is something that worries Lilith. She was made a fool once, and refuses to be one again.
Victory will do whatever he can to have Lilith. All too soon she falls for his charms. Not only does Victor what an exclusive relationship with her, but Lilith's close friends don't frown upon her or think what she is doing is wrong. As Victor and Lilith begin to fall in love with one another, a woman from Victor's recent past decides she wants Victor as her own and will do everything she can; even spreading vicious lies to get what she wants.
Heroes who have slept with every woman they come in contact with are a big turn off for me. But I can't help but enjoy the way Julia Templeton has written the Rayborne men. Victor may be a total rake, or as some would say Duke of Slut, but the moment he has Lilith in his sights, he is smitten and very much committed to her. This is the perfect case where that one woman comes along and redeems the hero. And Victor is very likable. His is so understanding and respectful to Lilith and why she keeps him at a distance.
Lilith and Victor are very passionate together and they click right away. The road to their happily ever after is bumpy and one I enjoyed reading. Julia also sets up Rory's story in such a way I can't wait to read because his heroine is somewhat damaged. Also along these lines, there is a very interesting secondary story regarding Lilith's niece Marilyn, who was first introduced in Sinjin. Marilyn is attracted to the very slutty and forthright Lady Anna who is more shocking in the bedroom than the Rayborne brothers will ever be. We are given just a small taste of how much Lady Anna wants to lay claim to the innocent and sexually confused Marilyn. I would love nothing more than to see a full length romance between these two women, rather then only secondary snippets.
Victor is a spicy, erotic romance that doesn't cross too many uncomfortable lines. There is a scene at a house of iniquity that may raise some eyebrows, as well as one with Lady Anna who has fun with two men. But, if you have read erotic historical romance in the past, you won't be shocked at all with Victor.
This is one sexy and engaging romance, especially if you enjoy reading about an older woman being romanced by a younger man.

Three brothers - each as wickedly handsome and scandalous as the next - must wed or surrender their fortunes. They're the Rayborne men, and their quest for the perfect woman will send them on an unforgettable excursion of pleasure and excitement. Lily Winthrop's marriage to her recently deceased husband was a loveless one. She wishes to never wed again. But when she meets the devilishly charming Victor Rayborne, he stirs a scorching hunger deep within her. She yearns to be taken by him, to feel the heat of his body entwined with hers. The fact that Lily is older than him does not deter Victor from seeking out her lovely company. Instead, he finds the alluring woman a welcome breath of fresh air amid the insufferably dull prospects paraded before him in the ton. And when he kisses Lily, an overwhelming lust is ignited - one that begs to consume them beyond all control.
