Beautifully Written
This is one of the best romances I've read, up there with Whitney, My Love, Devil's Bride, and more recently, the changling series by Nalini Singe. Following the careful development of love was a wonderful pleasure over so many books that represent it with sex alone.

Excellent.
This is a lifestyle guide, which is sophisticated. Not at all like the Machiavelli Suit book where complicated writing styles and dodgy advice overtakes the look. The author helps you nurture a look.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! 10 stars!!!
Wow! This book took my breath away! When I first started reading it, I had to look at the cover again to make sure I was not reading "Cinderella", but as the book went on, the storyline got deeper and it was a story all its own. It made me laugh and cry. I felt like I really knew the characters. They were wonderfully developed. I wish Sophie would have held on to her principles and morals ...

Have you ever said to yourself,"I wish I hadn't said that.".
This isn't a very big book, but it is sure worth the price and time to read and to put some of the things discussed,into practice. Saying the right thing ,particularly at a difficult time or about a subject that is a bit delicate,is much more important than we often realize. The authors deal with a lot of conversations and give responses that often come to mind,but should be avoided. Then ...

incredible read
An amazing account of a young man stepping up to the plate of life in a difficult environment requiring not only daring and tenacity, but incredible personal and political skills not usually inherent in a man of his age. An amazing tale of adventure, friendship, and loyalty.

A Gentleman's Wager (Black Lace)

9 reviews
Madelynne Ellis

Virgin Black Lace, 2008

Be Warned these are Graphic and Explicit
I'll begin by saying this book was very sexually explicit. The Black Lace series of books are erotic fiction, but I know there are some that will go into this thinking it's a traditional romance with a little more sex than normal. In a way it is, A Gentleman's Wager is an erotic tale. The story relates around Lady Bella Rushdale who finds her experiences with her groom becoming unsatisfying ...

Great read!
I loved this book! It held my attention from beginning to end and I wasn't sure how that ending would happen. When it did, it was very satisfying. I'll definitely be reading more by Kress. Great book!

He falls in love with Kitty, encounters her family, faces ghosts from his own past, and ...

Sometimes you CAN Judge A Book By Its Cover
I have never heard of author Harold Schechter much less read one of his books. I picked up this book because I like to read about New York and saw an impressive photo of the Flatiron building on the cover. I guess I was judging a book by its cover. Once I started reading I had difficulty putting it down. It's a cliche to say so, but this is a real page turner. The murder case involving the ...

Georgette Heyer did it again!
I have read several Georgette Heyer novels and I don't seem to get bored with her wonderful stories, unique characters and great eye for historical detail. The Quiet Gentleman is a bit different from the other Heyer novels I have read. There isn't so much romance here. Instead, there is a mystery suspense plot. I am not bothered with that. Her characters are as memorable as ever and the ...

Counterpoint, 2007

A rare, startling book
Last night I was up until 2:30am on a worknight reading this exceptional novel. It's one hell of a story, mega-creepy and the writing is exquisite and perfectly formed. A rare, startling book. You'll be recommending it to your friends if not pushing it into their hands. It's a novel for book lovers in many ways: set on a mid-western campus; the protagonist is a creative-writing professor; the ...

Thomas Nelson, 2000

A Gentleman Entertains by John Bridges
"A Gentleman Entertains" takes a surprisingly unpretentious look at men entertaining, though the book is by no means without merit for women readers. The practical advice and simple, elegant recipes cover a broad range of entertaining scenarios, from casual cocktail parties at home to dining out, to family reunions. The South is perhaps the only place left where it is still fashionable to be ...
