It is almost impossible to tell you how much I enjoyed this one....almost ;) I devoured it! While I was thrilled with the story I was sad that it had to end. I felt such a connection.  Perfection, all wrapped up in a super sexy binding. I'm such a sucker :)

SNAPS on another job well done. It's no wonder Ms Michaels is one of my MUST READ authors :)

Blurb: Three beautifully intertwined love stories…


The rules are made to be broken…

When the handsome, rakish Earl of Hawthorne buys the charming house across the back garden from his town home, he never expects the lovely lady he installs there to ensnare him completely…

Again…

After Lady Anne Keighley marries the earl, it seems a shame to leave the house empty, so she offers it to her childhood friend Felicity Mercer, who discovers that the earl’s gorgeous cousin is precisely the man she’s been waiting for…

and again…

Finally, feisty Georgiana Baxter moves into the house to escape an arranged marriage, and encounters the earl’s friend Lord Julian Silsby late one night in the back garden. The handsome soldier is more than willing to give her the lessons she asks for…

There is plenty of gossip, scandal, and torrid speculations surrounding the “mistress’ house”, but behind closed doors, passions blaze…

Review: I enjoy reading regency romance. It has held a special place in my heart for years...and stories like this are the reason :)

With characters that lept off the pages, plots that sucked me in, and romance that made my heart do a little flip...it was a total winner. Deliciously decadent from start to finish. Emotional and frought with heart tugging scenes. Characters so real that I was sorry to see the stories end. My only saving grace was that I will be able to visit them again as often as I want...and rest assured that will be quite often.

Each story is different enough from the others but with enough of a common thread that this trio was all pulled together in a wonderful way that just flowed like a work of art :) You really should check it out. It rocked :)
