A painful personal experience makes Lord Lockhart believe that a gentleman doesn’t inflict his passionate desires on a wife. The marriage bed is for begetting heirs, not animal lust. No matter how much he desires his wife. But under Lady Lockhart’s shyness is a determination to tempt her handsome husband, to satisfy them both and spend every night together in her bed.

Innocent waltzing lessons in their chambers soon become indecent, and may lead the newlyweds to overcome their preconceptions and learn to be lovers, as well as man and wife.

Who would have thought that waltzing lessons would lead to a husband overcoming is sexual hang ups regarding his wife, but that is exactly what happens in this very quick, very sexy read.

Lord Lockhart learned at a young, impressionable age that a man should never engage in any type of passion with one’s wife and promised his sister that he would treat his wife with the upmost respect.  Of course, when a man finds himself in love with his wife and wildly attracted to her, it does pose a problem when you try to keep that promise made when you had no clue what happened between a man and a woman.

Here is were waltzing comes into play.

Lady Lockhart, a wealthy merchant’s daughter, never learned how to waltz.  It is Lord Lockhart’s desire to waltz with his wife.  So he decides he will teach her to waltz, at night, in the privacy of their bedchambers.  It’s during those lessons that Lady Lockhart shows her husband that his unbridled passion for her is exactly what she needs.

This was enjoyable and certainly gives you an understanding of why all those uptight woman may have thought the waltz was too daring back in it’s day.
