the price of pleasure

The Price of Pleasure

Connie Mason at her best, this book was really, really hot, the sexual scences alone, burned me up. I loved it!!!!!!!!

Connie's Baaack!

She is back an better then ever. In this story each charater is complex and well created. It's about a woman who has many secrets and the man who unlocks them. Beautifully written! Loved this book!

Very interesting plot line and characters, but lacked heat and passion

What I liked...The plot was very interesting, better than many books I've read recently. The heroine is a spy known as a black widow who has helped several men escapes the terrible prisons of France. She rescues our hero, and a long and believable 'get to know you before sex' relationship evolves. Eventually the story takes us back to England, where they try to find who is a traiter and trying to kill them. What I didn't like... The bad guy was obvious, which is OK, but it was upsetting that our smart hero was clueless in guessing who was trying to kill him. I wanted to scream "Come on, duh!" It was the only part of the plot that had a flaw. Secondly, the sex scenes were a bit cold and just copies of each other. There must have been a good 8-10 sex scenes, but they were exactly the same each time. Nothing really spicy or flirty or risky ever happens in bed, just mechanical sex (mostly anyway). I'd rather one really good passionate sex scene than a handful of boring ones.

another Mason must

I liked the book is set in France during the late 1700s. You don't see to many of those in the past five years. The French prison, Devil's Chateau, is a cesspit where no one comes out alive. So when Reed Harwood is to tossed into a cell for spying, he fears will die there, as there will be no one to help him. He is surprised when "The Black Widow" buys his Freedom. Rumors have reached him the Black Widow buys men for her sex slave, and they mysteriously vanish when she is through with them. Only Reed is confronted with a kind woman, Fleur, and she seems totally at odds with her "black widow" persona. To his surprise, she never tries to make any sexual demands, and soon sets him on his way back to England. Upon his return, he learns his brother has died and he is now the earl, but he despite all, he cannot forget the woman who saved him. Risking his life, he goes back to France to find Fleur, and defying all, he take Fleur back home as his wife. However, danger follows them back to England. I loved the fresh setting, not done much of late, and the fact both hero and heroine were willing to die to save the over. Wonderful Romance!
