Though Satyr’s Son is the fifth installment in the Roxton series and the first one I’ve read, it was such a lovely read and easy to follow. This is a must-read for historical romance fans who enjoy it when a rake is brought to his knees. Lucinda Brant spins a heady tale full of laughs, uniquely touching moments, and an amazing plot that will keep you on edge right to the end of the book. I loved the Roxton family so much that I know I’ll be going back to read the previous books that I missed. I loved the forbidden element in this book that made a HEA an impossibility. This book totally engaged me at an emotional level. The hero in this book was alpha, vulnerable and sexy. And for those looking for an intellectual read where you actually learn something integral to human nature, this book is for you.

Satyr’s Son - A Georgian Historical Romance: Roxton Family Saga, Book 5 by Lucinda Brant is a heartwarming romance about two people from opposite sides of English society, yet when they meet by chance, there is no denying the chemistry between them. The novel follows the charming and endearing journey of Lord Henri-Antoine and Miss Lisa Crisp as they learn to love and appreciate one another. In a story set in 1786, London, Henri-Antoine loves his life of privilege and freedom from responsibilities, however, he too has hidden secrets that he does not want others to know.

When he attends a wedding, he has no idea that he will finally meet his match, a woman who never had a life like the one he leads, yet she is far superior to him in many ways that he never knew or appreciated before. Lisa led a poor life, but kept herself from a life in the poorhouse with the help of her relatives. She is smart and she is not afraid to take chances and carve her own path in life. When she meets with the charming Henri-Antoine, she is scandalized by his offer, but she is not able to refuse him. This proposition is a recipe for disaster, but should she take the plunge?

This novel oozes romance and a magnetism that is very hard to resist. I loved the connection between Henri-Antoine and Lisa, but I liked Lisa more. She had an undeniable spark; she is intelligent and rarely emotional. Her practical edge spoke to me and I felt connected to her. Together, she and Henri-Antoine created a pretty picture and had a relationship with a shaky start, but they built it with time. This is yet another thing that I thoroughly enjoyed; the main characters had time and page space to grow fonder of each other. This is a definite must-read!
