Book Description

April 29 2008 Mistress Trilogy

Daring Games. Dangerously Delicious Consequences.

Lovely Eve Reynolds plays the role of a naive young debutante, but her demure appearance hides an experienced cardplayer who, at her uncle's instigation, is engaged in fleecing London aristocrats in the high-stakes card games favored by society. Only London's most notorious rake, Julian Clay, the Earl of Westleigh, sees through her wiles, for he recognizes a fellow gambler when he sees one. Lured by the passion in Eve's stormy eyes, so at odds with her reserved elegance, Julian lays impassioned siege to her. And Eve responds with a rising fire of desire that leaves behind all sensible caution, until both Julian and Eve can think of nothing but the searing hours they spend in each other's arms.

But Eve's uncle wants her to play for the highest stakes by making a respectable match with a wealthy lord...and Eve has her own secret reason for following his plan. Although Julian began to play recklessly to seduce a clever young lady, now he wants much more from Eve, and no one will stop him from risking everything on one final game that might win him Eve's heart and soul forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read Jun 8 2008
By S. Carty - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
First off, in response to the review that said "...the plot seems to be secondary to the very graphicly described love scenes", you have to understand that this is Bernard's genre. These aren't Fabio romances, they're in a genre called 'romantica', which are romances with kinda more hardcore sex. So please don't fault the book for that.

That being said, this third book's characters have more backstory and development than usual. They have more dilemmas than just being a virgin or getting sexual revenge. I think Bernard is finding her own voice more & more with each new title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not for me April 29 2008
By Cherie - An Avid Reader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Since there is already a long extract of the book above, I won't repeat this book's plotline in detail. Suffice to say it's an excessively steamy tale of cardsharping and romance supposedly set in Victorian England. In any case, the plot seems to be secondary to the very graphicly described love scenes.

I found the characters unlikeable which, for me, is a cardinal sin, particularly in a romance: the hero is a self-confessed love-cheat, and the heroine admits to having stolen jewellery and is fleecing the Ton. None of the supporting characters seems at all well-drawn, and therefore their actions mostly seem totally random.

At the same time this book is weighed down anachronisms, inconsistencies and cliches. The author obviously never decided on a naming convention for her characters, and therefore they alternate between using first names, full names and titles for one another, even between friends, so the hero calls his friend "Elton" and that same friend then replies to "Lord Westleigh". Also the villainess refers to the heroine as a "grifter"; and I just can't believe any member of the British aristocracy in Victorian England would have used such a newly-coined Americanism (indeed, I doubt that any of them even know what it means today). And seriously - can you just hear a Dickens' character referring to a win-win situation as the hero does! There's a real plethora of cliches too - the heroine is forever gasping,, and even at one point pants that infamous line "Julian, oh Julian!"

Definitely not for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a horrible hero Oct 10 2009
By Rachel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first review I have written, but I couldn't let someone else waste money on such a bad book. The hero is a terrible person who gambles away all of his money, serially sleeps with friends' wives including the friend who offers him a place to stay, and is selfish in every conceivable way. I guess he is an appropraite match for a con artist who steals from kind women with minimal remorse. The only happy ending would have been if both main characters got hit by a passing carriage.
