Description
Lord Miles Hawkins once knew love...and it nearly killed him. Yet he's enthralled with the beautiful stranger he encounters at a ball, and a tour of the balcony turns into a heated promise to meet again. Passion ignites an affair with the sultry Catherine, one he's confident will serve his physical needs while keeping his emotions at bay.
When an urgent summons threatens her identity, Catherine must choose between saving a life and sharing her secret with Miles, possibly losing him forever. It shouldn't matter...except desire rising has resulted in matters of the heart.

This was my first historical erotica novel. I enjoyed it and will read more by this author.

Eroticas are not my usually preference for reading but some thing about the blurb for this story drew me in and left me wanting more. The author does an excellent job bringing the abusive nature of a relationship to life without making it too difficult for the reader to take it in. The characters both of deep secrets of their own and have closed themselves off to love as a whole. They enjoy the intimacy especially of a relationship but refuse to acknowledge the emotional impact that it can lead to.
I really enjoy this book and look forward to reading more by this author

While historical romance is not usually my favorite, I believe that Ms. Shore did a nice job of telling a story that is both contemporary and reflects elements of the period. The story has an actual plot that has a few twists and turns.
Additionally, the main character Catherine is a strong woman, who takes charge and solves her own problems. There is drama in the story, but it is not melodramatic or the immature thoughts of characters that cannot make up their mind or determine solutions. In addition, Miles is a strong hero to Catherine who knows when to stand up and when to back down.
Tammy S, Reviewer
This is a fast paced historical read with plenty of suspense and drama not to mention steamy sex. Lucy escapes an abusive arranged marriage and reinvents herself into sophisticated Catherine Sheffield. She keeps her relationships purely physical and her heart closely guarded. Miles has secrets of his own, when their secrets are in danger of being revealed will they find they have more than just passion? I really liked this historical read. Great characters and chemistry and the story had plenty of drama and emotion.

'Desire rising' by Elizabeth Shore is the story of Lucy Kirkby/Catherine Sheffield and Lord Miles Hawkins. This book is about 132 pages long. Lucy was married to a very abusive husband who abused her and at the end was trying to have her sleep with a man he lost to at a card game. Lucy ended up defending herself that night a ran away to start a new life as Catherine. While living that life she met Miles who quickly became more than a friend. This was a very hot dramatic romance that kept you in the story. I will say I didn't get attached to the characters as I usually do but overall I liked this book. I received an eARC, from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
