review 1: Title: Pleasures of a Notorious GentlemanAuthor: Lorraine HeathGenre: Historical a RomanceReview Rating: Five StarsReviewer: Linda Hays-Gibbs Stephen Lyons is a notorious man with the ladies but he promises them nothing except pleasure; which he delivers in spades. He swears he will never marry. He has two brothers that both have titles and money. Stephen has no money but he swears to be the best lover in all of London. His brothers are not amused and want to make him grow up. They buy him a commission and put him in the middle of a war with Russia in the Crimea. He is reported dead. Mercy Dawson, a nurse from the Crimea arrives at Stephen's brother's, estate and presents him and Stephen's mother with a three month old baby. She swears it is Stephen's son. She only wa... morents to be his nanny but her father insists money should be paid. Duke Ainsley, the brother listens to her story. His mother says the boy does look like Stephen. Ainsley says let's ask Stephen and calls for his brother. Mercy almost feints from the news he is alive. She is afraid. Afraid her lies will be uncovered but Stephen doesn't expose her. She is confused about his behavior. She finds she still loves him more than ever and will do anything for him. Stephen has a secret though a very big secret. I will tell no more about this wonderful story except to say it is well worth the reading. It is an excellent and steamy escape. I gave it Five Stars. I highly recommend it. The characters had very real problems to overcome and sometimes you are sure all is lost! It leads you around some difficult problems and I love the ending. It's a wonderful steamy romantic escape. I couldn't put it down Linda Hays-Gibbs
review 2: Oh my gosh I just wanted Stephen to get his memory back. And it was hard to sympathize with Mercy when she continually chose to lie to Stephen when she had so many opportunities to tell the truth. The whole book hinges on Mercy not telling the whole truth about a very big thing. "A lie of omission is still a lie." Am I the only one who watched this Star Trek episode?I really liked Stephen but had a harder time liking Mercy. It took forever for Stephen to realize that Mercy was not completely truthful and I think the book might have been better had he found out sooner and the couple had then had more time to come to terms with the egregious breach of trust that occurred once he pieced the story together. Enjoyed it but parts of it just irritated me. less
