More About the Author

A lifelong lover of books, Suzanne Enoch has been writing them since she learned to read. She is the author of two well-received Avon Regencies, The Black Duke's Prize and Angel's Devil, and five Avon Romances: Lady Rogue, Stolen Kisses, By Love Undone, Taming Rafe and Reforming a Rake. Born and raised in Southern California, Suzanne lives a few scant miles from Disneyland with her collection of Star Wars action figures and a Cairn terrier named Katie (after the heroine of her first Regency). She's still looking for her own hero, and hopes he will be handsome, titled, and just a little wicked. Meanwhile, she's currently at work inventing him in her next historical romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start to a new series -The Notorious Gentleman, July 5, 2008
By 
Misuzmama (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
A kiss. Who would have thought that so much trouble started from just one stolen kiss? Sullivan Waring didn't. He was simply out for revenge against a man who stole what was rightfully his. By day Sullivan is a respected horse breeder but by night he becomes the Mayfair Marauder stealing back his mother's paintings. Only this time during one of his forays he just didn't steal some art, he stole a kiss from a beautiful innocent young Lady. And Isabel Chalsey isn't about to forget that one kiss from the masked thief. Sullivan is an exciting mystery to be solved and she loves a good puzzle. Isabel is used to getting her own way and she won't stop until all of Sullivan's secrets are exposed. But once they spend time together and everything is uncovered both realize that they have made a huge mistake -with their hearts. Because a man who sells horses has no future with the daughter of a Marquis.

A good start to a new series. But I did find some annoying points. Isabel to be a bit irritating with her shabby aristocratic nose-in-the-air treatment of Sullivan. And he has a chip on his shoulder the size of Alaska -thus the revenge. Then again that didn't bother me as much since they do have great chemistry. The sparks really fly between these two. I think thats Enoch strong point here. And the loves scenes where steamy too. The mystery wasn't so mysterious and very predictable but seemed carry some momentum. And the ending is believable.

My favorite part of the book and thus the four instead of three stars is Sullivan's friend Bram. He stole the scenes he was in. I loved his devil-may-care rakish attitude. Enoch spent a fair amount of time developing his character but his book is not the next in the series. Huh? What a teaser! Instead Phin's is. Before the Scandal: The Notorious Gentlemen And he is barely in the book! *Shakes head* why do authors do that?

I recommend this book to those historical romance readers who are fans of aristocrat and commoner pairings. If you like this type of scenario then you might want to check out The Leopard Prince.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off to buy my next Enoch book, November 4, 2008
Normally, I stick to historical fiction, but these days it's become harder and harder to find good historical fiction with romantic elements or romantic endings. Tracy Chevalier did a good job in A Girl With a Pearl Earring, and I very much enjoyed Michelle Moran's Nefertiti. But now I'm branching out into historical romance, and I am very glad I've decided to do so.

After the Kiss is only my fifth romance novel, and I enjoyed it immensely. The real story begins with Lady Isabel discovering Sullivan Waring in the process of stealing from her home. To keep her from screaming, Sullivan kisses her, but Lady Isabel manages to grab his mask and later discover his identity. The characters are well drawn, the romance is full of tension, and the historical setting is spot-on.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific Regency romantic mystery, June 29, 2008
A year after being shot as an officer serving in the Peninsular War; highly regarded horse breeder Sullivan Waring lives a secret life. During the day the Ton admires his work with horses; at night they treat him with contempt. He does not care how they feel; instead he wants what was stolen from him; so in the evening he sneaks into the homes of the affluent to take back his late mother's paintings.

However Lady Isabel Chalsey catches the notorious Mayfair Marauder in the act of thieving. He is stunned by her beauty and cannot stop himself from taking a kiss; he is further shocked when she demands he train a horse for her use or she will expose him. As he falls in love, he prepares a mare for Isabel while helping her overcome her fear of horses; but may not be able to overcome his own dark secrets that eat at his soul.

The first Notorious Gentlemen tale (Sully's Peninsular War buddies to follow) is a terrific Regency romantic mystery that hooks readers when the heroine going for a late snack catches the notorious gentleman removing a portrait from the wall. The story line never slows down as Lady Isabel "blackmails" the thief after a witty exchange. Readers will enjoy their antics AFTER THE KISS as Suzanne Enoch provides a superb opening act.
