Jordan Willis, the Earl of Blackmore, has played with the heart of many a society belle -- yet one stolen kiss impulsively planted on the soft, irresistible lips of the preacher's daughter proves his undoing. The prim and proper Emily Fairchild's innocent response sends desire surging through the notorious rake, and he can't forget her. Now, meeting Lady Emma Campbell, an outrageously flirtatious debutante, leaves the earl more shaken than ever -- for the brazen beauty is an uncanny double of the sweet Emily!Emily cannot reveal the reason for her scandalous masquerade -- not even to the earl whose heated embrace awakens a sizzling passion. Her very life depends on convincing society that she is Lady Campbell, yet no disguise can hide her dangerous attraction to the earl. But does "Cinderella' dare risk losing her handsome "prince" by revealing that she is just a country girl?

"Powerful Romance." -- Rexanne Becnel
About the Author
After a patchwork of jobs like technical writing and teaching, I have decided that my favorite job so far (even more than manning the ice cream machine at a summer camp) is novel writing. In novels, I can meddle in people's lives without getting into trouble, and that's what I live for.
The rest of the time I enjoy meddling in the lives of my son and my husband, who show their appreciation by sending me back to the computer as much as possible. I also enjoy traveling (either in real-time or on the Internet), reading books by other meddling authors, and going out to dinner or for ice cream (I can't let go of that summer camp job!).

Emily Fairchilds, a simple rector's daughter, attends the Dryden's Ball and by chance finds herself in a coach with Jordan Willlis, the Earl of Blackmore. They end up in an embrace that neither of them can forget. A few months later Emily is masquerading as Emma, Lord Nesfield's niece at her coming out in London. Jordan recognises her and does not know why she is disguised as someone else and flaunting herself to all the men in London. Little does Jordan know that Lord Nesfield has blackmailed Emily to disguise herself to find out who is trying to woo his daughter, Lady Sophie. Jordan confronts Emily about her deceit and to stop him from unmasking her disguise, she offers herself to him for a night.
This was an enjoyable and easy read, although not exceptional it is well written. I did however, find it annoying that Emily did not choose to tell Jordan why she was being blackmailed and kept the secret to herself, but then again the book would have come to a speedy end if she had done so. This is my first book by the author and I will no doubt check out her other books.

This was delightful. Finding a fun book is always enjoyable, and this little novel was fun all the way. It was quick reading, entertaining, and worry free. I must confess this was my introduction to Sabrina Jeffries, and now I am eager to search for more of her work.
Jordan Willis, the Earl of Blackmore lives with a bitter outlook on love and marriage. They raised his mother to marry a title, his starry-eyed father only too willing, and their disastrous union trained Jordan. Emily Fairchild is a prim, proper country parson's daughter. Her parents were happily married and Emily too wants a marriage filled with love, she will settle for nothing less.
Through mistaken identity, our two contestants windup in the carriage of the Earl of Blackmore -- unchaperoned. Immediately the earl accuses Emily of the marriage trap; the dignified Miss Fairchild laughs in his arrogant face.
With that lead-in, Sabrina Jeffries begins the reader's adventure. She produces a game of wit and pretense. A game filled with humor and cleverness. The author writes Emily as spirited, courageous, and gives her the ability to bedevil the grim Earl of Blackmore. Emily's tantalizing control, over the earl, is the story. Jeffries fills the pages with sexual tension and delivers the hot goods.
The only drawback to this enchanting little novel, was Jeffries' final handling of Emily's nemesis. Here the story strained; the retaliation was too convenient. Apart from that criticism, the balance of this fantasy is an amusing, heated book.

Best one out of the "Lord" books
