Both are not dreading this impending betrothal, but both are not rushing towards the alter either. They have never been lovers, but they are good friends.
You feel surprised and a bit baffled right along with Clevedon.Ĭlevedon has long been intended to Clara. She drops in small (and sometimes large) tidbits very nonchalantly. Just as he slowly unravels the real Marcelline, Loretta Chase does the same for the reader. Her beauty is what draws him to her at first. She is witty, sly, and never loud or obvious. Of course, she wouldn’t last long in upper society if she didn’t have an internal strength and smarts about her. She must look and play the part – so at first we must focus on her outside beauty, and how she portrays herself. It is what gets her noticed or when she doesn’t want to be noticed, just part of the crowd. Marcelline is just a shopkeeper with no title. Silk is for Seduction is one of my favorite books I have read this year.There is so much that stands out in this book.

But over the past couple years, Clara has needed to time to mourn the passing of her grandmother, and Clevedon has needed time to go abroad and sow his oats. Growing up together, they are great friends, and actually have love for each other. Clevedon is actually her father’s former ward. But instead of wooing Clara, Marcelline heads for Paris to go on a hunt.Ĭlevedon and Clara have been intended for each other for years. When they read in a gossip paper that the Duke of Clevedon, may finally be coming home from Paris to claim his bride Clara, Marcelline knows they need this future duchess as a client.
But they know they need someone big, someone who will get all the ton pointed in their direction so they can wipe out all of their competition.
It not only supports her family, but designing is in her soul. Marcelline Noirot and her two sisters own a dress shop, a moderately successful one, having only one larger, more prestigious client. Silk is for Seduction by Loretta Chase (Dressmaker Sisters #1)įavorite Quote: He was a predator.
