With sophisticated erotic escapades on nearly every page, Thea Devine's historical romance Bliss River (after Seductive) lives up to its name. Set in 1898 among the profligate English aristocrats of the South African Bliss River Valley, the book follows the fiendish Charles Elliott, an outsider who pretends to run a polo club for the rich decadents so that he can execute a complicated plot to avenge his father's death. When his plan goes awry, he's forced to take to the road with a young woman hostage, and the antics only get steamier from there. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
