Product Description

"School For Scandal" - Susan Johnson: James Bell, Viscount Ormond, is a shameless rake, infamous for his skills in seduction - and Claire Russell doesn't intend for her sister to become his latest conquest. That is why she's come to the viscount's private masked ball. The flagrant sensuality and unabashed decadence on display there are shocking, but they are nothing compared to the scandalous fire Claire feels when James makes a wholly improper suggestion...improper, indecent, and very, very tempting..."Mischief And The Marquess" - Sylvia Day: Justin, the Marquess of Fontaine and Lady Sophie Milton-Riley have no desire to marry. To satisfy their mothers' insistence that they would be quite right together, they set out to demonstrate how completely ill suited they are for one another. Justin is allergic to her perfume. Sophie dislikes his dogs. He prefers blondes; she, brunette men. But the more they seek to prove how wrong their union would be, the more right things feel. And when opposites attract, there's no denying the sparks or the heat..."The Ruby Kiss" - Noelle Mack: Susannah Fowler is in possession of many temptations - an independent nature, a quick wit, and lush curves. She is also in possession of a fortune in stolen jewels hidden within her favorite corset. If rakehell Carlyle Jameson wants it, he will have to remove it himself. From her boudoir...or from her body. One kiss ought to distract her, but one kiss leads to another and another, till there's no turning back...and no desire to try...

3.0 out of 5 stars Two duds and one winner, July 6, 2007
By Misuzmama (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Another anthology bites the dust. This was supposed to be "three sizzling stories about the art of seduction". With gorgeous cover (is that guy hot or what!) and the three tempting blurbs on the back, I happily plunked down my $15. Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations.

In Johnson's School for Scandal we have a heroine who tries to keep the shameless rake away from his latest target -her sister. Instead she becomes seduced and they fall in love. In my opinion the heroine succumbs rather easily. I would have rather seen a longer seduction. And the love scenes are rather run of the mill. I didn't get any indication that the hero believed that the making love to the heroine was any better than with all the other women he had (isn't it supposed to be?). So I really didn't buy the fact that he was in love with her and just decided to marry her. Not enough character development and bogged down with mediocre love scenes.

Day's Mischief and the Marquess is the best of the bunch. Thrown together by an meddling grandmother and aunt, the hero and heroine set out to prove that they are ill-matched. Well it's really the heroine who sets out to prove this because she thinks that although she loves the hero, she can't possibly marry him because she is a ruined woman. She loves him too much to taint his title. A very sensual read. Plenty of good love scenes and well fleshed out characters. The only thing I didn't buy is how the Marquess went about trying to restore the heroine's reputation -too far fetched. I don't think she really could live down the scandal she caused years earlier.

In Mack's The Ruby Kiss we have a heroine who recently came to London from India for the sole purpose of finding a husband now that her father has died and she is alone in the world. Her guardian is a rakehell that was good friends with her father. She finds sapphires and rubies that were sewn into one of her corsets and sets about finding the answers to the mystery surrounding them. If the hero wants them, then he's going to have to take them literally off of her to get them. I thought that was going to be a highly erotic love story. Nope. Boring beyond belief. The mystery is really not that exciting and too much time is spent in that direction and not enough on building sexual tension. And the love scenes? There weren't ANY! Just some teasers and they were vague at best. Disappointing.

Not one of the better anthologies. Day's is the only one I recommend. And I'm not sure that that's worth the $15.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Kisses, September 2, 2007
School for Scandal by Susan Johnson

James Bell, Viscount Ormond, is a known rake, a seducer of women known throughout the ton. Now, he's set his sights on Claire Russell's sister, and she doesn't intend for that to happen. She goes to a party at his house, intent on breaking them apart, but when Ormond and schoolteacher Claire meet, sparks fly. Something neither of them expected.

School for Scandal has an intriguing plot and delves beautifully into the ton of Victorian society. I was prepared not to like Ormond, but I just couldn't help myself. He wormed his way into my heart, as he did with Claire. School for Scandal is a hot, tempting story that will delight readers.


Mischief and the Marquess by Sylvia Day

Lady Sophie Milton-Riley and Justin, the Marquess of Fontaine, are childhood friends. They have no desire to marry, despite the fact that their mothers are trying to push them together.

Sophie, who is "quite ruined," tells Justin that they must find a way to let their mothers know that marriage is not possible, but things don't quite turn out that way. After they are convinced of their love for one another, Justin must find a way to restore Sophie's place in society, so they can live happily ever after.

I absolutely loved Mischief and the Marquess. Both Sophie and Justin were fun characters who made me laugh. They were perfect together and I loved watching them discover it. This story is a keeper to be reread again.


The Ruby Kiss by Noelle Mack

Susannah Fowler has come to England from India, where she was raised in the maharajah's palace, after the death of her father, a jeweler. Susannah is a free-spirited, quick-witted woman who is used to the laid-back world of the palace, not the stuffy, closed-in world of London.

Carlyle Jameson, a servant of the Queen, promised Susannah's father he'd bring her back to England. He knows that Susannah, unbeknownst to herself, has a corset full of stolen jewels. He needs to retrieve them from her and return them to the person who hid them. He doesn't expect to be so attracted to her, or to have a shadowy figure following her, trying to get the jewels for another party.

The Ruby Kiss is a sweet tale full of intrigue and discovery. I loved Susannah's strong spirit and the way Carlyle worked to make things right. They were perfect together.

Perfect Kisses is a great anthology, featuring three very different historical stories that are sure to please readers of historical fiction. It is definitely a book for the keeper shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars One out of Three, December 23, 2007
The saving grace to this book which contains three separate stories by three separate authors is the 2nd story "Michief and the Marquise" by Sylvia Day. The story was well told, interesting and the chemistry between Justin and Spohie was bittersweet, highly sexual--and simply proves that an erotic story doesn't have to be all sex and no love. In this story the love manipulates the sex and vice versa. The cost of this book allow is acceptable to me because this story was so wonderful..
I give that story ***** (5) Stars!

"School for Scandal" by Susan Johnson. Another well told story, but more based on sex than on love...James is a rake--and Claire hopes to save her little sister from him--only to find she has attracted his determined attaction--and manage to find that she is even weaker than her sister in her ability to tell him no.....
I Rated this one *** (3) stars. It was entertaining, but I found it rather hard to accept that James could fall so hopeless in love with Clarie given how jaded he was said to be--and he did so after having sex with her on two separate occassions--Believablity for me would be that he's an idiot and thinks with the little head--not the big one.....

The 3rd story isn't worth the paper it appeared on. The Ruby Kiss" by Noelle Mack--was a boring, narrative of what the story was about--with very little interaction between Carlyle and Susannah. She remembers, then he remembers--and how the first kiss happens doesn't flow with what is happened in the story--just like the sex seemed tossed in as well...skip this irritating story as the only thing I liked about it was that it was very short. I only give this * (1) star....enough said.
