You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO comes from Liz, who wants to find this book:
I would love to track down my very first romance read (20 years ago) that I discovered at age 19 in my (very waspy, educated, and serious) grandma’s house. She taught me that even serious educated women can love romance AND always order dessert ❤️
Here is what I recall:
A historical with enemies to lovers…
Innocent, virginal maiden is on a carriage ride to some sort of arranged marriage to an evil duke. She is rescued/kidnapped by a Robin Hood character who keeps her blindfolded, hidden, and seduces her. At some point, he takes her masked to the evil duke’s sex party where all sorts of masquerading sex partying ensues and she has to prove she is not innocent to maintain her disguise. He ends up saving the day, exposing the duke and marrying her (or something like that…)
Can we HaBO?

It’s been awhile since I’ve read it, but this sounds kind of like St. Raven by Jo Beverley.
Following.
“Robin Hood Sex Party” would be a great name for a band.
Pretty sure this is Jo Beverly but in one of the Malloran series. An earlier one, definitely not DEVILISH.
Could it be A PERFECT HERO by Samantha James? The heroine is taken captive by a highwayman, who is actually an agent for the Crown. Eventually he lets her go, but she has seen his face, and gets a shock when she meets him and discovers his true identity. Although there’s nothingabout an evil duke’s sex party, at all. That part reminds me more of A ROGUE’S PROPOSEAL by Stephanie Laurens, where the jaded Demon Cynster finds himself falling for and innocent but daring young lady.
I second that this sounds like St. Raven!
My Lady Notorious by Jo Beverley features a heroine who dresses as a highwayman and stops a coach to kidnap the hero…there were some allusions to an “orgy” in one of the reviews…
Holy cow!! I am pretty sure it is St Raven! I’ll have to read to confirm but all the names and synopsis are sounding quite familiar. Thank you SBTB!!!
Funny story, there is a Swedish online store (https://sexcret.se), selling sex toys. They had an event called “Robin hood Sex party”.
Normally a “Sex party” in Sweden refers to a party where a seller shows their products at home and the homeowner can invite friends to “sex party”.
But their idea was different. They invited “poor” people to come over to a sex party and gave away some basic sex toys and showed how they were used correctly and stuff like that.
