Lacked the Zip and Wit ...,
By Lulu "Literature Lovin' Girl" (East Coast) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mistress of Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
...of the first two books in the series. It felt in "Mistress of Scandal" that Sara Bennett was forcing chemistry, forcing tension, and forcing the narrative along. While the book was not completely lacking, it really was a hohum text that offers no real wit or sparks. A blah book all around.

If you like to roll your eyes over and over... (D- Grade),
This review is from: Mistress of Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
The third and final book in this trilogy of sisters who were kidnapped as babies from their courtesan mother is such a disappointment. And this is coming from an author who has years of experience writing enjoyable historical romances. When you have constant eye rolling by the third chapter and throughout the book you know this was written on auto pilot.
The premise looks to be interesting as mother "Madame Aphrodite" pays our hero Sebastian to try and find the evil ones responsible for stealing her children years before. Sebastian is your typical angst filled man who lives on the dark side for some wrong he has done in the past. The horror! The total cliché! Sebastian happily takes on the case and in the process almost dies by being left to drown in some bog. (They actually have marshy bogs in England that will kill you!) He is found and saved by the youngest daughter Francesca as she walks with her dog through the moors even though she is suppose to be some respectful young woman. What a coincidence this makes. Sebastian is over come by lust the minute he sees her! And Francesca, even though she doesn't want to act out any traits of her trashy mother, tries not to think these lust filled thoughts. Even though by page 100 she and Sebastian have fallen in bed together. Zany turmoil and constant villains surround these two over and over. And along the way they are overcome with passion and ecstasy while always in danger. If only there were not clichés' and over the top actions by the villains and the two main characters, then maybe this book could have been redeemable. For a good chuckle, and not in good way perhaps this book is for you. Otherwise check out Bennett's earlier works for more substance and no eye rolling.

Mistress of Scandal,

This review is from: Mistress of Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished reading this book and I'm inclined to disagree with the first two reviewers. I really did enjoy the story. Sure, I guessed who the mastermind behind the Greentree sister's kidnapping was right from the first book, but it was quite nice having all the pieces finally drawn together and answer all the why's and also, finally allowing closure for all three sisters and their "two" mothers.
Of course, it had a happy ending with the youngest of the sisters finally letting go of all her insecurities and allowing herself to accept love and being loved without being afraid of losing her heart to her hero Sebastian.
