5 Stars Great Beginnings
This book is an excellent story of a historical period, love and passion, and plenty of twists and turns. The free price got me to read it, and I am hooked. Elizabeth Rolls’ skill is followed up with the same characters in future books, the bachelors being friends and brothers. I’ve paid for those books so it should say something about the hook for me!

…and extreme mood swings pretty much signals severe personality disorder. Run, Verity, run! As other revewers have said, Max starts out well but quickly turns into a jerk for wholly imagined reasons. The lame big misunderstandings are too frequent and lack believability. Plot has a retro 80s feel - and not in a good way.

4 Stars thoughts on His Lady Mistress
I have to say for my first voyage into romance novels this one had me on the emotional wrecking ball. I thoroughly enjoyed the pain I shared with Verity, and the joy. I could relate to the heroine and that, I think, is so very important when reading anything, but especially romance. Like I said, this was my first romance but if this is an indication of her other work I will read more. The connection she was able to create between the reader and the characters was palpable. I wanted to comfort Verity and share her joy. I wanted to slap Max, on multiple occasions, and then explain how dense he really was. This was not at all what I expected of a romance, but that is one of many areas that I am not learned. I read the book in one sitting and still yearned for more about Verity and Max. I would recommend this book to my friends.

This is the book that got me into Elizabeth Rolls, and I loved it. The romance was wonderful and very sensual, the characters are believably flawed (sometimes this is difficult for romance novelists to accomplish) and while it is (as always) frustrating to see how their problems could be cleared up with an honest conversation about their misunderstandings, it is easy to see how the misunderstandings come to be and why each character stays within themselves instead of becoming vulnerable. Max’s difficult family life is further explained in “A Compromised Lady,” which is the story of Richard’s romance. I have read and reread this book - LOVE IT.

I really loved this book. It was such a great love story! It was written well and easy to read. If you love the 1800s and romance you must read this book.
