ALL AFTERNOON with a
SCANDALOUS MARQUESS by Alexandra Hawkins (click here and hit helpful for my review)
A Lords of Vice Novel
Ah
but the tangled web we weave when trying to live two lives built on lies
Catherine
Royles may be the illegitimate daughter of the Ton’s elite but her pseudo
parents were much worse than any child should have to endure. Catherine rose above the pain and humiliation
to start a life to scandalous no one could ever suspect she was the mysterious
Madam V, brother owner. Simon Wyndham
Jefferes, Marquess of Sainthill who went by “Saint” but he was anything
but. He lived his life with the other
Lords of Vice causing hearts to flutter everywhere they went.
Yet
Saint was drawn to the mysterious Madam V the moment he first saw her and
though they both had other lovers, the chemistry was undeniable. She was not one to tell tales and always hid
back one mask or another. Saint was not
going to be deterred even though they went years between encounters. Madam V knew how to keep a secret especially
the one she had about herself and the identity she concealed.
No
one seems to want them together especially visitors from Catherine’s past that
never go away including a father she never wants to acknowledge. Saint is an obstinate man used to getting what
he wants and even though she appears to be, a jaded brothel owner Saint knows
the heart of her beats with another soul.
This
series continues to play out with one stunning adventure after another giving reader’s
new stories to enjoy and characters to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI do enjoy Alexandra Hawkins' books.
ReplyDeleteI have several vices, team, coffee & chocolate among them.
I have read Alexandra Hawkins before. She write lovely books. My vice has to be books. If one is great many are better. Too many and not enough time.
ReplyDeleteYour review was very helpful. Like Debby my biggest vice is books!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read her as yet but this definitely is something I would like to read - thanks for the review. As to vices - buying too many books and playing games - online or the occasional casino visits lol.
ReplyDeleteBooks and chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteGummy Bears and books...
ReplyDeleteLike most, my major vice is books. Perhaps watching too many sports shows would be next!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary -
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it but my vice is impatience!
I think all of us have had those moments when we're trying to reach the right extention on the phone to get a question answered will have had times like I have. Think about it. How many times have you tried to find out information by a company and been reoeatedly transfer or told to "click" another number before finally being put on hold and when you FINALLY think a "real" person will finally pick up your call your are disconnected!
So I'm impatient and I don't like it one bit. I want to be a kind person and understanding and I realize it's not the pour employees fault but instead what we as consumers have been forced to except by the "person in charge".
The last time I finally got through of course the poor person who answered had no idea what the answer was. My new approach is when someone finally answers I ask for the "smartest person there". Unfortunately THAT person ususually doesn't have the answer either!
I'm fighting it but everytime I pick up the phone to make that call I know I'll once more be impatient while I'm waiting for that person to answer the phone and "help" me!
thanks for the great review! I'd have to say impatience and books :)
ReplyDeleteI've read this book, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteMy vices are sweets and books. Good luck to everybody.
