Serena Blythe's plan to escape a life of servitude had gone terribly awry. So she took the only course left to her. She sneaked aboard a sleek yacht about to set sail--and found herself face-to-face with a dangerous, sensual stranger. Beau St. Jules, the Earl of Rochefort, had long surpassed his father's notoriety as a libertine. Less well known was his role as intelligence-gatherer for England. Yet even on a mission to seek vital war information, he couldn't resist practicing his well-polished seduction on the beautiful, disarmingly innocent stowaway. And in the weeks to come, with battles breaking out on the continent and Serena's life in peril, St. Jules would risk everything to rescue the one woman who'd finally captured his heart.

Escaping a life of servitude, Serena Blythe stows away on a stranger's yacht. She soon finds herself face to face with the notorious Beau St. Jules, the Earl of Rochefort, the man who has been dubbed "Glory" for his legendary escapades as a lover. Serena eagerly surrenders to the seductive Beau and their voyage is filled with days and nights of exquisite ecstasy. With a mission to fulfill for England and no intentions of marrying anytime soon, Beau finds himself in a quandary over Serena. But love is a strong aphrodisiac and when Serena's life is placed in danger, Beau will risk all for the woman he loves. Ms. Johnson delivers her infamous brand of erotic romance with a sensitive passion and pleasure that leaves the reader wishing for more.
From Publishers Weekly
Best known for her erotic love scenes, Johnson (Brazen) continues to play to her strength with her latest sizzling release. Becoming a governess after the death of her father, Serena Blythe has dreams of becoming a painter. After years of saving, she is about to depart for Italy to study when the ship on which she has booked passage is hijacked with all her money and worldly possessions. Determined to reach Florence as planned, Serena stows away on a ship belonging to the dangerously handsome Beau St. Jules, London's most notorious rogue. The Earl of Rochefort had already surpassed his father's reputation as a libertine, and that's saying something, considering his father is the Duke of Seth (fans will remember him as Sinjin St. John). As is her forte, Johnson provides about 250 pages of unadulterated sex. It's not for the prudish but Johnson fans will love it.

Not that wicked,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a boring one. Oh yes, there was a LOT of sex. The sex scenes were frequent, meaning one scene per chapter. However, the scenes were short and after awhile got kind of boring. The characters and plot seemed fake and unreal. For instance, I don't understand why Serena wanted Beau. Why the heck they like each other? Because they sure get into bed pretty fast and often. There was some attempt to make a real plot with the addition of Napoleon, but I couldn't quite get it and it seemed incongruous. But it's really boring because all Serena and Beau seem to do is pig out and have sex, at the same time. Like other common female characters, Serena is big-breasted and can play cards really well. Honestly,. Can't romance writers think of more unique qualities, instead? However, the majority of this book has too much sex AND food, at the same time. It's like a bad imitation of Gone With the Wind. All that eating rich foods while getting screwed at the same time left me feeling motion-sick. But hey, I'll admit my heart started racing and kind of cringed when Beau said something like, "I want to fill you up with so much sperm" all to get her pregnant. I'm not really into the younger man. Beau is 22, and Serena is 23. But if young hormone-driven lovers are your thing, then go for it! However, if you want some escapist literature, I would not recommend this. The lack of structure left me feeling arrogant, thinking I could write better. The other flaws are also too annoying to provide any type of escape. I've read review of Susan Johnson's books, especially how much they complained about gratuitous sex. I don't think this is one of her dirtier ones. The boring sex scenes should make this one CLEAN.

A great read - definitely hotter than others I've read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan Johnson creates Serena and Beau almost as charicatures of the romance novel genre. An inexperienced, idealistic, beautiful woman - a hard, egnigmatic, incredibly virile man. (The cover is GREAT, by the way.) Although the story line doesn't contain as many twists, turns, or subplots as others I've read, it certainly makes a thorough exploration of the character's thoughts, sexual discoveries and passionate intrigues. It was a fantastical change from the standard romance novel - definitely steaming - and surely worth the whole 2 days it took me to read it. (Sorry, couldn't put it down.) Because of this book, and because of other rave reviews I have read on Susan Johnson, I am tracking down everything else she has written! I think her books will make this impending winter weather very bearable!

Very Wicked Indeed!!,
By LuvGirl (New York ,NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
Dear readers, this was the book that did it for me. This was the book that had me running mad all over the place looking for any Susan Johnson book that I could possibly find, so that I could devour them! I was so fascinated that I could not even borrow her books from the library. I had to buy them! This book about Beau and Serena was so darn delicious that I read it twice! Serena, A servant, stowed away on Beau's yacht , and Beau who is A very naughty boy was A very happy man indeed! This book had everything you would want in A novel. A sweet and impulsive heroine, A hero who is so darn sexy, you'll wish he was real, an interesting story line, and HOT, HOT, sex!! Just take A gander at the cover of the book, and you'll get an idea what your in for. Don't get me wrong, this book is not all about sex. I hate it when critics call Susan Johnson books erotica's. She is so much more talented than that. Whenever I read one of her books, I become so engrossed that I forget all of my problems for A day or two. I laugh, I cry, I can feel the love that the heroes and heroines have for each other. She captures the emotions and essence of each and every one of her characters perfectly. You will never forget one of Susan Johnson's novels. So, if your looking for A novels with A little bit of everything, try Wicked. Get A taste of how A women can first capture A man's body, and then his heart.
