He has to have her, even as he knows claiming her could destroy his relationship with Frederick.Ilsa Bergstrom has endured all the abuse she can take from her late sister’s cruel husband. But a thirty-year-old childless woman in London’s rough Whitechapel has few options for surviving on her own, and after a horrific night of abuse at the hands of three men, she’ll never choose whoring as one of them.

But Ilsa knows when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
About Saving Lady Ilsa
Ilsa is a seamstress that is abused by a her her sister's late husband. Her life revolves around having to please his every demand, which is horrific. I felt for Ilsa. Poor Ilsa has to believe the worst in men after they take all savagely. Ilsa is an attractive woman but no longer a young girl. With few prospects here and there she has to make do. Things are not so bad. Luck seems to shine on her. While Ilsa feels damaged and isn't too certain of herself. Not knowing what she must do to survive. One particular available nobleman is happy to welcome her. He needs someone like her. Ilsa is wary until things get hot and lusty.
Moments where the players act every bit hilarious and joke give it more fun to the story. The story takes place in Whitechapel London, 1859. There is drama as well. Something nobody sees coming. Less romantic but more hot and heavy defines Saving Lady Ilsa. As for the character's complexity, its rather mild. A sort of in-between. If you're looking for personality this isn't too much for you. It's more about the action, not just between the characters, but the plot in general. The plot itself is well spread out.
It has a pretty good ending and starts out from the beginning well paced. Never drags out or feels too boring. Found I couldn't keep myself off the sexy scenes on the pages. This is one of those books not to be taken too serious. More of a teaser. The sex scenes are really precious. Ocassionally you will be happy to know the characters aren't just about the sex but do care for each other. Since the characters have had their shared sorrows. The conclusion will leave you out there thinking. You will just have a blast reading it along with the beautiful cover of the book you can't go wrong.
