Book Reviews of Three Nights of Sin
Book Review: Surprise hit
Summary: 5 Stars
Great story. Sexy tension. Good writing! Much better than anything else I have read from this author.Book Review: Surprisingly Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll admit, I almost didn't buy this book- both the cover and the summary on the back didn't really catch my eye. Luckily, someone I trust recommended it so I picked up my own copy, and was surprised by how extremely good it was from the very beginning.
Marietta is a strong willed and proud young woman who has no money and no resources to save her beloved brother from being executed for a crime he didn't commit. She is referred to Gabriel Noble, a man who seems to know everyone-from politicians to servants, from the rich to the poor. Because she cannot afford his $10,000 fee, Gabriel takes her case in exchange for 3 favors. From the beginning, Marietta is drawn to the very sensual and magnetic Gabriel, who may be more villain than hero, and is kept guessing regarding his intentions toward her and the case.
I loved Gabriel and Marietta- individually and together. Anne Mallory has created two fascinating characters, and an unlikely, but very steamy romance. His knowledge, experience and sensuality give him the upper hand in the relationship and his power over her is near absolute . . . until he begins to realize how very important she has become to him. Three Nights of Sin is a delightful read with two characters, and a romance, that will stay with you long after you stop reading.
Book Review: THREE NIGHTS OF BOREDOM!
Summary: 1 Stars
I completely agree with some of the reviewers here that are not rating this book a 5 star read! THANK YOU FOR THAT !!!!!! WHAT IS ALL THE HYPE ABOUT THIS BOOK, FOR GOODNESS SAKE?? I can't believe that seasoned reviewers have given this book a VERY misleading 5 starts. It goes to show how deceptive and disingenuous books reviews can be... still, yet there is no accounting for taste!
I gave this book three tries and every time I was bored. The first part isn't even a romance and it is very hard to get into. There is no romantic interest or interaction between the H/H other than the efforts Gabriel (the hero) has for Marietta (the heroine) to play a part in his fact-finding expeditions. He has absolutely no interest in the heroine, Marrietta and doesn't even find her attractive, yet she agrees to his all manipulative demands.
It is quite incomprehensible why there is even an attraction between them at all - since all he does is manipulate Marrietta, to which she easily succumbs and acquiesces to everything that he asks (I guess some readers might find that excusable as Marietta believes that will help her so Gabriel can save her brother Kenny from the hangman's noose). He uses his sexual prowess to control and when they eventually have sex (which is exactly what it means - sex) there is no heartfelt emotion from either of them - very lackluster.. yeah, the scenes are okay steamy but the dialogue sometimes is quite hard to follow - as if the reader needs to extrapolate what the writer means???
The suspense in the story is a la Jack the Ripper type murders - the characters seem contrived and okay at times (Jeremy, Gabriel's brother - his story would be interesting). Finally, three quarters into the book - you start realizing why Gabriel's dark side makes him such a controlling and manipulative jerk - I guess you can excuse it - considering. It is annoying the way Marrietta succumbs way too easily, especially after she has told him way too many times how much "she dislikes him". Hard to believe that after that is being said so often through the book there is any romance between the two.
*****SPOILER****** I was quite annoyed with Marietta who shows such stalwart loyalty to her two selfish and ungrateful brothers and is the only one concerned with the family name. Mark, the oldest is a spendthrift who squanders the little money that family has for his own egotistical purposes. After Kenny is exonerated - he shows how ungrateful and selfish he is - as he doesn't even acknowledge his sisters efforts to free him or even thanks her. Mark on the other hand receives offers for Marietta and is ready to sell her to the heist bidder for the settlement money. How delightful to be part of that family!
I would have rather spend time getting into a worthwhile book from the pile I have still to read!!
Book Review: The hero is too manipulative and the heroine too easily controlled
Summary: 3 Stars
I am not crazy about this book. I don't feel like the hero grew by the end of the book or had any significant changes. The heroine was always so easily manipulated by the hero. I prefer books where the hero is as swept away by the heroine as she is by him, so this book fails on that account.Book Review: Three Nights Of Sin
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good book the stotyline was very interesting it is dark and sexy at the same time when I saw all 8 people that reviewed this book gave it 5 stars I thought it should be a good read I"m glad I took a chance a lot of times I can figure out the ending of a book but this one kept me guessing all the way to the end I read it in two days. The story starts with Ms winters trying to find someone to help her get her brother out of jail for murder that's where Mr Noble comes in. So if you are ready for good story then pickup this book.
