When He Was Wicked

by Julia Quinn

Tell Me Something Wicked. Romance, sex and passion revolve around the intricate dance that overwhelms potential lovers without any hint of mystery, threat or danger. Michael Stirling’s intense pursuit of Francesca Bridgerton is pure romance and will make you weak at the knees. Michael Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin, is an experienced lover with a wicked reputation of amorous exploits and a string of broken hearts left behind. Francesca Bridgerton is the only woman who can tame his sinful ways if only she could see past his friendly façade.


Michael Stirling is hot, hot, hot. And he exudes sex, sex, sex. That's why I had to put him on the Sultry Six.  He is a master of seduction with a knack for words that target the weaknesses of every woman he covets. He can and will do unspeakable things to any woman he pleases to quiet his desire for Francesca, who is married to his cousin.

Michael’s pursuit of Frannie spans many years but it is only after the untimely death of his cousin that he is able to satiate his craving. Michael’s innermost thoughts and wants build and build until there is only one resolution…sex. His lips curved in his devilish grin are ready to do magnificent things to Frannie.

Demanding. Hands finding everywhere they are supposed to go, fingers caressing every crevice. Can you feel the heat of skin on skin, the heat of breathlessness as his lips explore yours. Michael Stirling is devilishly skilled and when you think you’ve had enough he will do it again. There is only one response as he asks, Marry me?

Michael Stirling is a sophisticated, experienced lover who is kind and loyal when he finds the ONE woman he wants. He understands sex and romance and will woo a woman to the ends of the earth. The heat, the sex, the foreplay is what makes this story a must read for lovers of romance novels. Although I found the cover a bit embarrassing and felt I had to cover the front while in public, it’s definitely a must read.
