was kindly and generously gifted this title by the author in exchange for an honest review, Thank you lovely!

,stars!!

Loved it!! Yep, I went into this book hearing how amazing it was so I was somewhat prepared but seriously, the very INSTANT I met Darius Rourke, the sexy hero.
I was a COMPLETE goner!! This man felt like he was dipped in decadent chocolate, . . I was dipped in chocolate or heck, we both were because he was absolutely SINFUL!! He was caloric!! He was swoonworthy!! He was masterful!! He was panty melting material!! It didn't take long for me to fall under his spell to where I was ready to follow any of his commands.
In fact had you watched me reading, you would've heard me whispering giddily "Darius, tell me to say it.
I will you know I love you. " This is the EXACT reason why I love reading romance and it just got better and better,

I loved the mixture of historical romance and bdsm, Now before you go thinking of lords and ladies wielding floggers and chains, it's not like that, This was really light bdsm think robe sashes to restrain and blind folds, The focus was more on the need to submit and dominant, . . to provide the needs of the other so that both were happy and fulfilled, I thought Raine did an outstanding job with it, the things Darius would say to Marianne making me tingle.
I loved the way the author explained it and the limits she set within the story, It made for interesting dynamics between the couple, especially when it came to sharing feelings of love,

I adored this couple, Can you imagine how incredible it would be to find out the man you marry has loved you for what seems like your entire life You have been watched over and protected.
Things you said in passing carefully and lovingly remembered, It was enough to make me swoon to know Darius had always loved Marianne, he was just bidding his time before stepping in and making her his.
The opening scenes were enough to make me feel like his gaze was on me, it was so easy to fall into the story and join the characters.


I loved the conflict and inner turmoil I found in His Perfect Passion, It reached in and grabbed hold of my heart, laughing and crying for both of them, Marianna has this terrible secret, one she hopes Darius will never find out because even though it takes her a while, she actually loves him and doesn't want to lose him.
To know his wife is harboring something, something he can't fix and wipe away the sadness from her eyes, it hurts Darius.
Oh gosh, it was all just so beautiful because all they needed to do is confide in one another but hey, what would the story be without the extra angst to make you really love the characters The storyline was PERFECT for me as a romance junkie.
It left me breathless and excited for more,

I would recommend this book to everyone without hesitation, Please don't let the term "bdsm" make you overlook this wonderful romance story, Love comes in all forms, . . what's important is the journey and this is one I am so VERY grateful I didn't miss, Happy reading everyone!!
El libro es cortitopaginas en fisico, quizas por eso lo he visto un poco precipitado y me ha faltado mas desarrollo de la historia, la he visto limitada a situaciones muy concretas entre ellos.

Aun asi, me ha resultado entretenido y tierno, NO. Me niego. Tremendo desastre.

Podrían haber escrito en la sinopsis que el libro era tan terrible, . .

Darius tiene los morales más CUESTIONABLES posibles, . . Es un maldito pervertido y obesionado, pero jaja jiji todo bien, nNO! Señora, pero esto qué es

Y el """"plot twist""""" Madre mía.
. .

Sin comentarios sinceramente,

Gracias a la revista QMD al menos, . . Por hacerme reír con este libro que traían, The Passion of Darius is a beautiful historical written by Raine Miller, the fabulous author of the Blackstone Affair series.
Set in Somerset, England in the's, the story follows Darius Rourke, an extremely handsome Englishman with Italian background who is enamored with Marianne George.
Marianne is a reserved beauty who takes care of her father who has fallen into drinking and gambling, Darius pursues Marianne, asking for her hand in marriage, but Marianne refuses, saying she is not worthy of him.


After finally winning Marianne and marrying her, Darius helps to unleash the hidden passion he knows is buried deep within her.
He also knows a secret about Marianne, that she is naturally submissive and looks to him to dominate her.
What he doesn't know about Marianne is that she harbors another secret, a secret she knows will tear them apart if Darius were to ever find out.
But the longer they are married, the more he starts to see the darkness she hides within herself, And the more time they spend together, the more Darius realizes that the passion and lust he initially felt for Marianne has turned into full blown love.
But does Marianne love him too He's not sure, she's so mysterious and doesn't tell him anything that is on her mind unless he tells her to do so.


After the death of her father, Marianne starts having terrible nightmares and Darius witnesses the pain and suffering she has experienced, and the loss of someone she calls to in her sleep.
Who is this Jonathan Marianne knows it is time to reveal her dark secret to Darius, that which makes her unworthy of his love and devotion.
But once revealed, will this destroy them Will Darius still love Marianne She is terrified he won't and she will truly have lost everyone she has ever loved, because Marianne has also fallen in love with her husband.


I love how Raine writes, She describes her characters and the scenes as if you are standing right there, immersed in the story with them.
You do not feel like you are just a reader being told a story, you are there with them.
Breathing them in, feeling their emotions, She writes some of the best sex scenes I've ever read, They are smoking hot and there a lot of them, but they are not repetitive so you don't feel like, "yeah, yeah, here we go again.
" The story flows smoothly, and I never felt like it lagged in any places or became stagnant, It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what Marianne's terrible secret was, And Darius, I am officially in love with him and Raine has been informed! The passion and tenderness he shows to Marianne made me want to transport through time and be Marianne, even if just for one day.


Once again Raine has hit a homerun with this beautiful story, I could read about Darius and Marianne forever, And as it so happens Raine's next installment of the Blackstone Affair, Rare and Precious Things releases this week and we will get more glimpses into the lives of Darius and Marianne through journals discovered in Ethan and Brynne's new home.
The Passion of Darius is truly a beautiful, beautiful love story, Darius' love for Marianne is the kind of love every little girl dreams of finding when they grow up.
From the description, I understood this was a mild D/s type of book, There was mention of him telling her what to say, do, etc, Sometimes I get kinky and like some mild D/s, light bondage, and forced dirty talk yes, I'm a freak.
Honestly I didn't even consider it erotica aside from the fact that the terminology used was cruder than your average historical romance.
Nothing too freaky going on, I think there was a blindfolding,

Anywho this wasn't exactly what I expected, There was a teenytiny bit of forced/coerced dirty talk but mostly it was the most mundane crap, It went like this okay, yes, I'm taking some liberty with the dialogue:

Darius: 'You know you want a ham and swiss sandwich for lunch.
Tell me you want a ham and swiss sandwich for lunch, '

Marianne: 'Yes, Darius, I want a ham and swiss sandwich for lunch, '

I loved this book by Raine Miller! His Perfect Passion is a historical novel about Darius Roarke, an Englishman with an Italian mother who has been admiring Marianne George for many years.
Marianne is a beautiful girl who has secrets that have affected her life and leaves her feeling unworthy of ever receiving love.
Darius strives to marry Marianne but she rejects his advances so he

forces her hand with some underhanded tactics in order to achieve his goal.
Once they are together Darius realizes that Marianne has a natural submissive nature which he initially uses to his advantage.
But once he comes to the realization that he is truly in love with Marianne he is no longer satisfied with being dominant over her and wants desperately for her to love him in return.


Without revealing any spoilers we find out why Marianne feels the need to be submissive and the love story that unfolds with these two people is heartwarming and beautiful.
Raine does an excellent job of describing the characters, their appearance, their thoughts, their feelings, She also has a way of setting the background and describing their surroundings that puts you smack dab in the middle of the story.
I couldn't put the book down, I want to read it over and over again,

Something that I absolutely love about Raine's books is the way she interweaves her characters into her other books.
The characters and places in His Perfect Passion make an appearance in her next historical novel called The Undoing of a Libertine.
And her Blackstone series has multiple references to the characters and places in her two historical novels, I recommend His Perfect Passion, as well as ALL of Raine Miller's books as absolute must reads!,
