Three Nights of Sin
Three nights of danger...
When her brother was arrested for murder, the ton shut its doors to Marietta Winters. No one would help her save him from the gallows - no one but Gabriel Noble. In exchange for taking the case, Gabriel requests three favors from the desperate young beauty, and Marietta has no other choice but to make a deal with the sinfully handsome devil.
Three nights of pleasure...
Searching for clues in the rough underbelly of London, Marietta must masquerade asa shamelessly wanton wench - much to Gabriel's delight. But Marietta swears to herself that her passionate moans are just for show. She could never fall in love with such a maddening, arrogant, seductive stranger...could she?
Three nights of sin...
Night after night, she satisfies his wicked cravings. But soon Gabriel wants more from Marietta than just three nights of sin - and even a sordid secret in his past won't prevent him from trying to possess her forever.
Gabriel Noble...
I immediately fell in love with the gorgeous Gabriel Noble. This hero is not the usual "stud." He is strong, commanding, seductive yet underneath is a vulnerability, we don't often see with heroes. Gabriel's character evolves, taking me through a journey of emotions.
Marrieta Winters...
Her desperation to save her brother endears her to me. She's not your typical heroine either. Marietta may not be a raving beauty but she's all fire and ice. Just like Gabriel, her character goes through changes. The challenges Marietta face, only made her stronger.
Romance...
The chemistry between Gabriel and Marietta is sizzling. The love scenes are tastefully written, with just enough heat. Unpredictable storyline. Other characters are well written, even the drunken prostitute in the corner.

Summary: 5 Stars
Three Nights of Sin is what so many romance novels try to be and usually end up failing. I have to say I read it in one sitting and was sorry to come to the end. Gabriel and Marietta were two of the most well written and fleshed out main leads I have read in a long time. I enjoyed them immensely and their story was excellent. It had the romance(their scenes together were fairly combustible)--and it was one of the best mysteries I have read in a long time. So many romances add a dash of suspense and you have it figured out in two chapters. This one kept me guessing and it was every bit as good as some of the big time suspense writers are putting out. The story was very dark, but the way Gabriel turned it around and made himself a better man was a delight to read. I absolutely loved him!! He has hopped right to the top of my favorite male heroes--right there with Christopher Seeton and Trevor Sheridan. I could find no fault with Gabriel and his counterpart, Marietta, was equally as likable and well written. She had spunk and intelligence. I liked the way she realized she had to save herself so therefore, she sought out Gabriel Noble. Wise choice. The secondary characters were great. I am looking forward to Jeremy's story and Kenny's as well, now that it appears that Gabriel has instilled a backbone in him.
The back story is dark and seedy and the people responsible for it are truly reprehensible. This book does not have sex on every page. I believe that was the complaint of another reviewer. But, the tension between Marietta and Gabriel was smoldering from the getgo. If you are a good writer you don't need to fill your pages with sex. I have read, or started to read--usually didn't finish them, books that were all sex and no story. They are immensely forgettable. Three Nights of Sin is one I will keep and revisit later. There was a good story here and Anne Mallory told it very well. I am glad I looked past the cover of this book and delved deeper. I was very rewarded.
Book Review: A rare treat

Truthfully, I'd given up reading "romance" novels this year due to my huge disappointment the last couple of years, not only with my favorite romance authors, but in other genres as well.
Then I stumbled across this lovely book by Anne Mallory and took a chance, something I'd promised not to do again, especially by an author I'd never read before. Just goes to show, old dogs can learn new tricks.
This was a riveting read, what I'd hoped for in all those disappointments mentioned above (be happy I don't catalog them by name, authors). This book has it all....characters that leap off the page and keep you driven to read on, an unusual, well thought out and thoroughly delivered storyline, erotic and believable love scenes (for those, like me, who can admit that's part of the attraction of this genre...for me, women who deny it are like all those men who used to say they subscribed to Playboy for the articles!), and a satisfying sense of closure. None of the characters were given short shrift, all the loose ends were tied up, and I hated, absolutely hated that the book was finished.
I will definitely be looking into more titles by this author. The lady can write and at least in this book, doesn't shortchange her fans (of which there are many, I'm sure, and I am now one), or slap her name onto something that was obviously written by illiterate hirelings she keeps in the basement (again be glad I don't mention names).
Way to go, Ms. Mallory.
Book Review: Absolutely FABULOUS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first time reviewing any book so here goes...I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! You can read the synopsis above so I wont go into it but let me tell you Oh my gosh is this book HOTT! I have been reading romance novels for years and since reading this one I have to go out and get more books by this author. In this book are some of the best characters I have read about in a long time. The hero is gorgeous and an alpha male to be sure but without the arrogance. He has a past and has risen above it and is a success. I loved the heroine. She isnt gorgeous but she has qualities about her that makes you love her and I am so glad that the hero saw past the plain exterior. He wasnt one of those gorgeous men that are full of themselves. It spoke well of them both. She has courage and integrity and a sharp tongue that can cut someone down to size. There is mystery and murder and love scences that are hot. I only keep ones that I have trouble putting down and this will have a permanent spot on my bookshelf. A must read for sure.
