"Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power." -Lisa Kleypas "You'll be swept away by Katharine Ashe's evocative writing." -Sabrina Jeffries With only three books, Katharine Ashe has already established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of historical romance fiction. In the Arms of a Marquess, the third novel in her Rogues of the Sea series, once again showcases this remarkable author-whom reviewers have enthusiastically compared to Johanna Lindsey-and her amazing ability to mix danger and passion with outrageous action and breathtaking sensuality. If you are not yet a Katharine Ashe fan, you will most assuredly be one after reading this enthralling tale featuring pirates, smugglers, mistaken identities, British lords and ladies...and a beautiful, successful, yet shockingly unwed Regency miss who seeks help in a most perilous clandestine matter from a rogue English marquis, the only man she ever truly desired.
"Swept Away By A Kiss" is a breathtaking romance filled with sensuality and driven by a brisk and thrilling plot. Her characters are intelligent, vibrant and wonderfully complex. Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power--what a compelling read!" -- Lisa Kleypas, New York Times bestselling author "...an exciting, danger-packed historical romance that I hated to see end. A superbly crafted story...I highly recommend IN THE ARMS OF A MARQUESS to anyone looking for a great read. Do not miss it!" -- Romance Junkies "I loved it from beginning to end, and so will you." -- Bookishly Attentive "Every woman who ever dreamed of having a titled lord at her feet will love this novel." -- Eloisa James, Barnesand NobleReview.com "Ashe's debut is worthy of high praise. She presents readers with an incredible romance with enough sexual chemistry to singe your fingers. The characters are complex and highly sensual, the plot riveting and the backdrop vividly detailed. This is both a page-turner and a keeper." -- RT Book Reviews-- 4 and 1/2 stars, Top Pick FIVE QUILLS! "A wonderfully captivating book... In the Arms of a Marquess is perfection. ... Ms. Ashe's characters come to life not only in their provocative and lush setting but in the generosity of their witty dialogue. ... A magnetic story." -- Romantic Crush Junkies "Ashe delivers a unique adventure romance, weaving exotic aspects of India into a staid British backdrop. The strong and deliciously unusual characters propel the plot forward allowing the adventure, mystery and romance to perfectly merge into a thrilling read." - 4 1/2 stars! ("FANTASTIC/keeper") -- RT Book Reviews RECOMMENDED READ! -- Romance Novel News K.I.S.S. Hero! -- RT Book Reviews
