Ravishing Ruby A Bound and Determined Novel edition by Lavinia Kent Romance eBooks

“It would have been better if he had never returned from Manchester, having him here made her want things she should not, dream things she should not. And it made her careless.”

FINAL DECISION: Emotional, sexy, hot, RAVISHING RUBY is the story of a “fallen” woman who lives her own life without many regrets and the man she cannot forget. I love how these two fulfill a need in one another.

THE STORY: Ruby is Madame Rouge, a notorious brothel owner. Several months ago, she had an enounter with Captain Derek Price which was emotional and where she revealed her true self — Emma, bastard daughter of a duke and granddaughter of a merchant. The two spent one night together and then Derek left on the way to his marriage. Now he has returned to London with his soon to be fiancee in tow and finds himself unable to forget about Ruby or to stay away from her.

OPINION: This was my favorite of this series. Emotional with characters that I cared about, this book — while sexy and hot — was definitely more about the characters and their relationship than about the sex. In many ways, because the sex was so easy for these characters, they had to struggle with the other parts of their relationship.

I loved Ruby because she accepts who she is and is unrepentant about her sexual past. As she remarks to herself — Derek has had more lovers that she has. While society might judge her differently, she refuses to allow herself to be defined by others. What Ruby does struggle with is her love for others. She fears that she will have to submit to her grandfather’s vision of her future in order to keep them in her life.

In that way, Ruby and Derek’s struggle in this book is similar. They both want to gain the love and affection of their family and thus feel somewhat compelled to force themselves into a role they are not completely comfortable with. Neither likes to be controlled and for that reason they find a kindred spirit in the other and the freedom that their relationship provides.

These two spend a lot of time roleplaying with one another. It allows them to disclose different aspects of themselves that may be hard for them to easy show to another. The scenes are pretty sexy as well.

Because they are so well attuned to one another, the scene when it appears that they are doomed to be parted made me cry (even as I knew there would be a happy ending). Definitely my favorite of the series. In fact, the ending of this book makes me hope that we will learn more about Derek and Ruby in the future.

WORTH MENTIONING: Ruby is a brothel owner and has herself had varied sexual experiences. This book is not for the reader looking for the reluctant prostitute, virgin brothel owner or missish heroine.

CONNECTED BOOKS: RAVISHING RUBY is the third novel in the Bound and Determined series. It can be read as a standalone although I recommend that readers read the novella REVEALING RUBY which is about the same couple and takes place prior to this book.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

Ravishing Ruby A Bound and Determined Novel edition by Lavinia Kent Romance eBooks Reviews

I just loved this story. I love everything Laconia Kent write. She is amazing. Ruby and Derek's story was so good.. I hope that there is more to come. Hint Hint
Lavinia Kent is one of the best authors I've ever read. Ravishing Ruby does not disappoint, and was worth every penny! You HAVE to read this book! And every one in this series, especially if you love historical romances! Seriously, Lavinia is one of the best.
This has been my favorite of the series. Those who love and intense sexual tension will love this book. It is a very clever story development. The characters are great and it's jus extremely well written I want to read it again just to feel the joy and excitement.
For these two it seems a HEA is extra sweet! Derek & Ruby are an exceptional couple and I very much enjoyed their story. So many things conspired against them, but they finally get to be together and it is very sweet. Lavinia Kent is a favorite author of mine and I NEVER tire of reading her beautiful love stories.
So, I read the first in the series and absolutely loved it! I couldn't wait to read the second book, although it was good, it was not as good as the first book.
Ms. Kent used some of the same lines from the first book for the new characters. Which would be almost impossible for them to speak exactly the same way being unrelated.
So I was a tad disappointed with the second book. But, having loved the first book I decided to get the third book in the series, and again I loved it!
I know why I am always looking for Lavinia's next book. This was absolutely awesome. A great story. I could not put the book down and went to work many mornings half asleep since I just needed to see what would happen next. The description of how each felt, how their relationship progressed was really well written. I will definitely be reading this for a second time - right after I read the first one - Revealing Ruby - again. Sexy, steamy and oh so delicious. Very emotional I felt like crying a time or two. The book was so descriptive I could have been a fly on the wall. Ruby was all things to Derek and he, well, was a real man. Can't wait for next one!!! But at the moment this is my all time favorite. Get yourself a copy and start reading. You will not be sorry!!!
This book is the continuing story of Ruby Madame Rogue an owner of a Brothel. She is really Emma Scanton a bastard daughter of a duke. He wanted nothing else to do with her after a scandal . This is how Emma Scanton became Madame Rogue. In the earlier story. Captain Derek Price came to her brothel and they had a hot steamy time in bed together. He had to leave to get married at his families request. He returns in this book and Ruby and he have more hot and steamy times together. They also talked about their life before they met and why things happened as they did. Ruby finds out that he is going to marry Anne an English Heiress. She knows he can never marry her. She begins to think of selling her brothel and moving on to a different life. Derek will be miserable with his bride to be. Ruby and Derek are. meant for each other but how can it work out. This was the best of the other books in the series.one of the reviewers wanted BSDM. I would not read them if it was. I don't consider anything romantic about it. I have preordered the next book.
