review 1: A good story, actually three romances in one. The story starts with the rakish Earl of Hawthorne as he purchases the town house right behind his in order to more easily visit any mistress he decides to install there. He meets the widow Anne who wants to take a lover, thereby ruining her reputation so her brother will stop pushing her to marry again. Things don’t turn out as Anne thought they would, but certainly how they should. Then her good friend Felicity comes to visit and is installed in the house where she threatens the brother of the man who deserted her before realizing he’s nothing like his brother and they were meant for each other. Once that story concludes satisfactorily, we meet Georgiana, who has run away from her guardian to the care of her trustee ... morethe Earl of Hawthorne. She's trying to escape from an unwanted marriage, and Hawthorne sets her up in the house until he can resolve the situation. She then meets a handsome soldier in the garden who is trying to avoid the very same thing, his grandfather's plans for him to marry. I liked the way the tales concluded, but then ran into the next one with all the characters having a part to play in succeeding parts of the story. The Mistress’ House is actually the focus as each couple interacts within the house and then goes on with their lives and the next couple comes along. I was a bit dismayed by the actions and/or morals of some of the characters, but once all was explained and it all worked out satisfactorily, I was happy with the stories as a whole. I enjoyed the first tale of Hawthorne and Anne the most and we continue to see them throughout, which was a treat.
review 2: THIS WAS MARVELOUS!!! Can I give it TEN stars? No? Dang....This was free at Amazon this week...This is actually three books in one...each one leading from the first.Thorne, the Earl of Hawthorne, buys a house at the end of his garden thinking it might be a nice place to put a mistress...then Anne asks him to "ruin" her...she's a widow and wants to be free to do her own thing, but her brother keeps throwing men at her...trying to find her a husband.He moves Anne into the house and she moves into his heart.Then Anne offers the house to her friend, Felicity. Felicity has been wronged and hurt in the past. The man that did the deed has died but his brother is the Earl's cousin. She asks him for the baby that his brother didn't give her. She gets much more than that from Richard.A "ward" appears on Thorne's doorstep with a tale of woe. Thorne hides her out in the MISTRESS house...and another cousin, just back from war stumbles across her. They are both trying to avoid a distasteful marriage...She feels that if she's a mistress, she won't have to marry. I loved Julian's body telling him to GO FOR IT...Georgie is quite willing...something about HIM really just draws her close...What I love about Leigh Michaels story telling is that she has her characters TALK! There is no running off to Alaska to avoid pitfalls, there is no leaving the other to keep them safe, there is no ANGST just to drag the sucker out!!!There's just enough worry to WONDER if one or the other is going to run, avoid, act stupid...but then she has them come clean with each other....IT'S LIKE READING A BREATH OF FRESH AIR...yes, shouty caps...truly wonderful...Yes, I will be searching out ALL of her books...oh my...my KINDLE is going to enjoy having LM's books on it...and I'll enjoy reading them over and over...WELL DONE!!! less
