This review is from: Southern Comforts (Sweet Talkin' Guys) (Temptation, 773) (Paperback)

Lily, a goody two-shoes librarian, is tired of being limited-- by the two women with whom she lives, her broken-hearted mother who was deserted by her husband and her busybody spinster aunt, and by her small hometown's Victorian morals. She decides she's going to find a secret lover for a hot fling with no strings attached--there's been enough scandal in her previously proud family's history. Right on cue, Beau, the illegitimate son of the town's wealthiest man, returns to settle his deceased father's estate. He'd left the town that was so cruel to him long ago and made his own fortune. A sexy ladykiller who thinks he'll never fall in love, Beau sets out to seduce Lily the moment he sees her. She accepts his dinner invitation but turns the tables on him when she arrives--she shows up looking anything but a mousy librarian and proposes her brand of affair. Beau is floored but can't resist and quickly moves to make sure he sees more of her. He'll donate the mansion he inherited from his father to the city for a museum if Lily will oversee the project. It's the perfect cover for their affair and they soon find that they enjoy more than each other's bodies. One day, however, the flu Lily thought was making her ill turns out to be Beau's child instead. Because he knows the shame of being illegitimate, Beau insists that she marry him to spare their child that pain. But what about love? Though Lily has admitted to herself that she loves him, she thinks it's one-sided and that's not enough. Beau knows those three words won't convince her otherwise so he sets out to woo her family and the whole town to win her over. Can a prodigal son really come home? Can the love of a good woman really tame a bad boy? Finding out is absolutely delicious.
