Customer Reviews

3.5 Stars.....I loved these characters but...

The ending was just so dang corny for for me. The author took so much time to nicely develop these characters and I really liked them...then, it became another I love him but how is he going to prove he loves me story...I'm just sick of those...could have made it better. It was fair to question Tony's love after the conversation that was overheard, but could have created a better path to the ending, instead of the typical.

Romance

This book is written in the days of the Dukes, Duchesses and Lords and Ladies-they are very romantic and can be very sensual but not in a disgusting way-the author describes the romance between the characters so precisely that you can picture them as if you were part of the book-very capitivating!

Hard to put down!

I loved this book! Tracy Ann Warren is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Out of the three books on the 'mistress' series, this is my favorite. I loved how the authors gives glimpses on the life of the other two couples in the series, while developing Gabriella and Tony's story. Although Gabriella is much younger than Tony she is not the usual shelter aristocratic girl. Used to be on the road, she has learn tricks that not many woman would. Tony has had a trouble childhoood, and as consequence he refuses to marry. Once we see into his trouble childhood we understand his refusal to marry and why he is rathe slow at catching up his feelings towards Gabriella.

A nice surprise

I was a little hesitant to buy this book because the reviews of this series from this author have not been glowing, but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this book. I was afraid that I wasn't going to like it because Gabriella is only 17, but this is really a non-issue because once the hero, Tony, gets past her age, it is sort of glossed over and doesn't seem to matter. I was glad to read that Gabriella never really had a moment where she did stupid things because of her age. I was sort of impressed with her. I thought she acted very smart in the latter half of the book where the author could have had her stray into TSTL territory. I am lowering my rating to a 4 because I felt the last half of the book was superior to the first half. The first half had many, many, many scenes where we saw just how much Tony wanted Gabriella. He was like the energized bunny for a while. I don't think I could count how many times these two went at it. But, overall, I liked this book. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough that I think I will try the first two in this series and hope I am as pleased with them as I was with this one.

Nice read!

This was the third in a series by Tracy Anne Warren. I loved all three but this was my least favorite even though I liked it alot. I so enjoyed having the other book's characters in this book and hearing about what had happened to them. Even though I enjoyed this book, too, and had a hard time putting it down until I finished it, I had a problem with two things. One was the age difference between Gabriella and Anthony. Gabriella never seemed to be the young age that she was except in her innocence with Anthony. I think had she been older she might have seen some of the things going on with Anthony in a truer light. Anthony was a difficult man to love but once his childhood had been explained, you could understand why. His need for sex seemed a bit much especially near the end. I found myself frustrated one minute, mad the next and even crying at one time. I love the way the author has a way of making her characters so real that they seem to be alive. Their Christmas gatherings made me want to be a part of them myself! In order to get the real meaning of this book, you'd have to read the other two books before this one.
