“In so many ways, Grace was taboo. She worked for his grandmother, sacrosanct in her position as personal secretary. She was a marrying kind of woman, not meant for one night or even one week of hot sex—no matter how incredible he sensed it’d be. She was earthy and real and domestic and…honorable.”

Luckily for Noah, the choice is taken out of his hands by Grace herself. This is definitely not a normal Lori Foster novel, although I believe it is one of her best and it is certainly one of my favorites. Admittedly, it doesn’t have much of a plot at all, and a conflict that should have taken backseat to some other issue, but the characters are so lovable that it’s impossible to not truly enjoy the novel.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe begins with Robinson embarking on a sea journey during which he is almost shipwrecked. This scares Crusoe to some degree but is not enough to keep him away from the sea.

Soon after Crusoe joins another voyage, from which he earns much money, and this encourages him to join another one. Before he leaves for his second journey he leaves much of his earned money with a widow of his acquaintance.

During his third voyage Crusoe is not as successful; he is captured by pirates and is forced into being a slave. However, before long he manages to escape from the pirates and go to Brazil.

From wikipedia:
Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun (April 16, 1755 - March 30, 1842) was a French painter, and is recognized as the most famous woman painter of the eighteenth century. Her style is neoclassical in exhibiting ideals of simplicity and purity.

She was born in Paris, Marie Élisabeth-Louise Vigée, the daughter of a portraitist and fan painter, Louis Vigée, from whom she received her first instruction. She also benefited by the advice of Gabriel François Doyen, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Joseph Vernet, and other masters of the period.
