One Night With A Prince by Sabrina Jeffries

Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s, Royalty, Royal Brotherhood Trilogy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Proper Lady Christabel, the Marchioness of Haversham, is desperate to regain some letters that could destroy her -- so desperate that she pretends to be the mistress of notorious gaming-club owner Gavin Byrne to accompany him to a scandalous house party where she can reclaim them. But when she agreed to let Byrne coach her on how a true mistress behaves, she never suspected how very...persuasive his wicked lessons would be. Gavin is secretly determined to find the letters himself and use them for revenge against the noble sire who abandoned him to grow up in London's worst slums. He's also delighted at how very successful his "mistress lessons" are: it won't be long before the luscious young widow is in his bed. But when Christabel catches Gavin in his own seductive net, he faces a difficult choice: to wreak the vengeance he's planned all his life, or to protect the woman he may -- to his own astonishment -- need more than revenge.

This is the third book in the Royal Brotherhood trilogy. Now we’ve seen Gavin in the first two books as the man that has been truly wronged by his Princely father. Now he is being asked to do something for him. He must get a woman who has shot at him into a house party. Christabel doesn’t know what she is really asking of Gavin. But as the two work together they both learn that no one should go by what they first see. Gavin is not the man that everyone believes him to be. The character is very deep and well written and keeps you guessing as to what he will do next. Chritabel is even harder to put into a neat little box. I enjoyed reading the final book in this trilogy. Sabrina Jeffries writing is highly entertaining and I am a little sad that the trilogy is over. But I most defiantly will be looking for other books by her.

To Pleasure a Prince by Sabrina Jeffries

Genre: Historical Romance; Early 1800’s, Royalty, Royal Brotherhood trilogy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Beautiful Lady Regina Tremaine has turned down so many suitors she’s called La Belle Dame Sans Merci.  The truth:  she won’t marry, because she carries a dark secret.  Still she sees no reason why her brother shouldn’t court the lovely Louisa North—even if Louisa’s half-brother, the notorious “Dragon Viscount,” objects. Marcus North, Viscount Draker—bastard son of the Prince of Wales—is rumored to be a monster who holds women captive only to have his way with them.  Exiled from polite society, he strikes a deal with Lady Regina:  her brother can court Louisa so long as Marcus can court Regina.  Can the beauty and the beast survive a proper courtship when the chemistry between them threatens to cause the scandal of the century?

This is the second book in the Royal Brotherhood trilogy. Marcus is a recluse from everyone but his family. But his sister is in need of a husband. As his deal with his half brother they will work to marry off Louisa to someone of good standing, only not someone who is connected to the Prince who is their father. Regina does not understand why the Duke won’t let her bother court his sister Louisa. So she goes for a visit that now has her agreeing to being courted as well. All this happens early on in the story. I really enjoyed reading this. As we finally get to know more about the Dragon Viscount. Regina is a very diverse character that you can’t fit into a little box. I can’t wait to read the final book in this trilogy, One Night With A Prince.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

                            

Back Cover: In these four new novellas by today's hottest romance writers, a Victorian widow auctions off her most prized possession: herself...a beautiful jungle explorer discovers her own wild side...a bloodthirsty beauty gives in to her darkest desires...and a young woman turns an all-male academy into a school for seduction.

This is an anthology that actually has two short stories that start off two great series, Fitz Clare Chronicles and Leopard People. This book actually has a little something for everyone. Two of the stories are set in modern day while the others are historical. You have two stories that are paranormal while the other are just good old fashioned romance. It’s a great book with each story pulling you in. I really enjoyed reading this book.

In The Prince's Bed By Sabrina Jeffries

Genre: Historical Romance; Early 1800’s, Royalty, Royal Brotherhood trilogy  

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Miss Katherine Merivale is desperate to make a respectable match—if only her childhood sweetheart would propose!  Until he does, she can’t touch the fortune she’s inherited.  That’s why the last thing she needs is that notorious rogue Alec Black putting her matrimonial plans at risk with his smoldering gazes and moonlit kisses. Alec, the Earl of Iversley—and one of three bastard sons of the Prince of Wales—is secretly searching for an heiress bride to pay his debts.  Fiery Katherine seems the answer to his prayers, and her passionate response to his stolen kisses and practiced seduction soon assures him that she is his.  But Katherine is looking for a love-match, and Alec can’t help but wonder what will happen when she discovers his deception?

This is the first book in Royal Brotherhood trilogy. Alec approaches his unknowing half brothers so that he can find a rich bride and save his estate. While Katherine is looking to marry her childhood friend as she would like to marry someone who is a friend rather than someone that she may have a passion that will die down. Katherine doesn’t know what to make of Alec as his reputation is one that makes him out to be a rake. I know that I have said it before that I don’t usually read historical romances. I picked this up having read a story by Sabrina Jeffries in Fantasy and really enjoying it. I wanted to read something else by her. I really think I choose well in my book. I found the characters well formed and compelling. I really liked that there was a lot more to Alec’s character. That he had this whole background about why he is the person he is. Katherine for all her prim and proper ways has a bit of a wild side to her as well. I truly enjoyed reading this book of their courtship. I actually plan on reading the next book in the trilogy, To Pleasure a Prince.
