Lord Darlington's chase is sexy and adds extra depth and meaning to the story. The flirtation leads to lust, desire, passion and love, with an eventual struggle of the older woman with the younger man relationship. The widowed Lady Griselda, family friend, Josie's chaperone, and Earl of Mayne's sister, steps in to help with a plan to flirt with the young Lord Darlington and put him in his place. So they meet and try to solve the problem of Josie being ostracized out of the season by this name calling and cuts at recent ton events. The whole family is together for the wedding event of Josie's guardian "Rafe" Raphael Jourdain, the Duke of Holbrook to her sister Imogen. It is her "new look" from the modiste Madame Badeau that begins with the special corset contraption that creates the "sausage" look and dresses loaded with seams, created to hide Josie's full figure. Josie gets tagged with the name of the Scottish Sausage early in the season by a group of young bucks led by Lord Charles Darlington. The whole Scottish Sausage storyline kicks off a domino effect of events that are fun, entertaining, and sexy, with a touch of mystery. It lives up to its name Pleasure for Pleasure, page for page. This last installment in the Essex Sisters series is no different. Every Eloisa James book is a delight, as she has a special talent for adding a touch of magic that makes each story and group of characters become more enchanting as the book before.
