A Fine Passion (Bastion Club Series) Book

"A Fine Passion" is the story of Jack and Clarice aka Boadicea.
Jack, Baron Barnefleet is a member of the Bastion Club and returns back to the country after escaping a devious marriage trap- only to run into Lady Clarice, the daughter of an aristocrat- whom he "rescues".
Our heroine been living for past 7 years with her cousin James in a parish after a scandal forced her to give up the gentry life and live life helping out a then absent Barnefleet's estates.
Soon they are involved in solving the case of James's persecution, while enjoying what starts as a no strings barred relationship, but develops into something much more deeper.
Kind alpha hero, amazingly strong heroine with a backbone of steel, hot lovemaking as well as crazy stepmothers form this story. Loved how ultimate badass the heroine was- especially the scenes where she rescues her brothers from the evil clutches of the stepmother and gets them to their love. The sex scenes are HOT, and the culmination satisfying.
That being said, the first half was too slow and the last half went too quick. But overall a good read.
