A Lady's Pleasure (Mistress Trilogy, #1) di Renee Bernard
An interesting premise and likable characters, but the writing is awkward, a little too filled with adjectives to be enjoyable. Still, if Bernard continues to grow as an author, that should improve, and I look forward to reading her future work.
A Lady's Pleasure
3.5 Stars
An engaging historical romance with a healthy dose of mistaken identity and a dash of mystery and intrigue.
Merriam Everett is a charming heroine who starts out as a timid mouse, but ultimately finds herself turning into a vivacious cat. Merriam's romance with the devilishly divine Duke of Sussex, Drake Sotherton is seriously steamy, and Renee Bernard certainly knows how to write an erotic sex scene.
The minor mystery is interesting although it is relatively easy to guess the culprit. Moreover, the climax and resolution are exciting despite the somewhat confusing sequencing and motivation.
The only problematic note concerns the keeping secrets trope, which is not a favorite of mine. Both the hero and heroine have secrets they are determined to keep. This leads to several misunderstandings that are drawn out for far too long and undermine an otherwise lovely story.
All in all, an entertaining read and I look forward to continuing with the trilogy focusing on Drake's friend Alex and the intriguing Madam DeBoucier.… (altro)

Currently my favorite of the books so far. While each book is funny and charming and well-paced, I love Josiah and Eleanor. I also like that they aren't at odds with each other through the entire novel.
3rd in the series. I pretty much hated the h through the entire book. She grates on my nerves the entire story. Something about her attitude and her stupidity really annoyed me. Still, the book is fast paced.
