"Beauty can always be seen by the heart's eyes"

Professor Owen Lloyd-Jones was badly injured when an experiment he was conducting blew up in his face -- literally. He is sent to Montvale House by the Earl and Countess of Dunsmere to recover; they request Louisa Cellini give him her special attention. Helping Owen heal gives Louisa great pleasure -- yet it also scares her. For here is a man who could come to mean something to her, and then when he recovers, be gone. This is something she does not want. But love often does not respect what a person thinks they want...

The major sex in LYING WITH LOUISA is oral, very sensual. Some new and interesting ways of using spices are presented. This story has one of my favorite elements -- an older heroine, younger hero. It would be difficult to pick a favorite out of the three Beau Monde stories, but for me this one would edge out the others by just a tad.

Sensuality--NC17. Masturbation; crude language; voyeurism; descriptive sex; anal penetration by object; oral sex; mild bondage. Monogamous relationship. Sexually explicit scenes: 3.
