“It was a scene straight out of a nightmare. Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. Justin, stood on the threshold and gazed into the cheerful little anteroom of hell.”

With an opener like that, who on earth could refrain from continuing? Before I continue, I must warn you that, despite the horror-like opener, this novel is, in actuality, an historical romance. And an excellent one at that. The title would put most people off (I mean, who wants to get caught reading a book titled Ravished? Talk about awkward.), myself included. Luckily for me, I had already read several of Quick’s (a pseudonym for Jayne Ann Krentz) other novels and enjoyed them so much that I decided to give this one a chance. And enjoyed the naughty novel just as much as I would a sinful triple chocolate cake, and there were no calories whatsoever to regret later.

From wikipedia:
Max Ernst (2 April 1891 - 1 April 1976) was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet, considered one of the chief representatives of Dadaism and Surrealism.

Max Ernst was born in Brühl, Germany, near Cologne. In 1909, he enrolled in the University at Bonn to study philosophy but soon abandoned the courses. He began painting that year, but never received any formal artistic training.

During World War I he served in the German army, which was a momentous interruption in his career as an artist. He stated in his autobiography, "Max Ernst died the 1st of August, 1914."
