Maybelle de Maitenon has no interest in
her grandmother’s latest scheme. All she wants to do is go
to see the great pyramids before they are all looted and
destroyed. When Maybelle’s grandmother has a stroke, she is
forced to stay behind to help teach at The School of
Gallantry. When Edmund Worthington, the Duke of Rutherford
enrols into the school, she risks not only losing the school
but also losing her heart.
Edmund is haunted by the mistakes of
his father. After a romp in a garden with Maybelle, he
feels it his duty to wed her. When Edmund finds out about
the school, he decides that it will not due at all to have a
Duchess running a school that teaches men how to seduce
women. Edmund decides to enrol into the school to keep an
eye on Maybelle. If he isn’t careful he may find himself
losing his heart as well.
Mistress of Pleasure is sexy and steamy. There
are some pretty funny scenes in this book that left me
giggling. I loved Madame de Maitenon as a character, and
she is so eclectic and charming. Edmund is the
quintessential stuffy Duke trying to escape his father’s
legacy. Maybelle is believably scared about love, though a
bit of a prude despite her upbringing. There are a few
improbable parts in Mistress of Pleasure but in the end it
didn’t matter because the storyline carried them well, and
that is why I Joyfully Recommend it. |
