School of Gallantry

review 1: Another fun installment in the School of Gallantry series. I really enjoyed the first two books, Mistress of Pleasure and Lord of Pleasure, so I'm pleased Delilah Marvelle is continuing the series! As usual, the hero and heroine are intriguing and entertaining. Caroline is more forthright than Ronan, despite being his junior by over a decade, and I enjoyed seeing how her direct manner kept him both fascinated and off-kilter. Ronan has some very dark secrets, and as they unfold, we see how they've shaped him, for better or worse. He's not ready to love Caroline, and he almost loses her... which is where the School of Gallantry comes in.My favorite part was Ronan's instruction at Madame de Maintenon's School of Gallantry. I've always loved her character, and once again, she ... moredoesn't disappoint. I was laughing, smiling, and nodding my head at her quirky brand of wisdom and quick-witted instruction.One thing to keep in mind with this series is that the chronology can be a bit confusing--although this is the third book, the books happen more or less simultaneously. In some ways, you could consider this the first book, Lord of Pleasure the second, and Mistress of Pleasure the third. I gave up trying to keep the timeline straight and just went with it. When the story is this much fun, that's a minor quibble.
review 2: Everyone has a right to expect that you will have someone to loveCaroline has known since she was thirteen years old the Ronan was the man she would love forever. Her only goal was to grow up so they could marry and live happily ever after regardless of what it takes to achieve that goal. Caroline did not know that while Ronan may have wanted all these things as well he understood they would never happen, his family responsibilities demanded he choose another path for his life.Ronan had to fight for every amount of money he could obtain regardless of the circumstances of their acquisition to help keep himself and his family financially solvent. The finances are obtained a variety of ways one of which included brokering his affections toward lonely women of the ton. Caroline felt destiny brought them together while Ronan saw that as what kept them apart. Ronan may love Caroline and she may make every breath he takes worth living for, but those feelings have to be controlled and he will do so as his circumstances have deemed necessary.Caroline finds a way to stack the deck in her favor and attempt to make Ronan realize they should be together. When the plan backfires Caroline is left devastated and Ronan realizes the mistake he made by letting her go searches for a way to win her back. Who knew that the place that could teach Ronan how to be a man of worth would be a school taught by a Courtesan? Learning to tell the truth, work through his phobias, and release the joy of his love for Caroline creates a Ronan that has Caroline acknowledging that no one will ever bring her joy but Ronan.Delilah Marvelle graces every word with a prolific sentence that surrounds each paragraph with romance, joy, and the expectation of eternal love. less
