About this ebook

“Sweet and Spicy!!! Such a gem!...with every story Mrs. Lyons writes, I’m left with a smile.” Krysta Reviews

“This is such an AMAZING story … compelling to read.” Reader Review

Part 1 of 3; the HEA occurs in the third installment, Daring Declarations.

A desperate widow dares greatly…

Penniless since her husband’s demise and now ousted from her home by his indifferent heir, a young widow reaches her wits’ end—the end of her meager food stores, certainly. When her friend, a diamond of the demimonde, arranges a protector for Thea, she can do naught but agree. ’Tis that or starve.

But what happens when her previously passionless existence is challenged by the titled lord who now owns her favors? The brusque, rough-around-the-edges Marquis keeps to himself, is annoyingly silent, but kisses like a dream and Thea soon falls for the mysterious man she knows nothing about… Save for his generous nature, lusty sense of humor, and the grand accommodations he’s provided.

As to the man himself? Secrets abound and Thea fears she may have exchanged homelessness for heartbreak.

Jane Austen fans who like to laugh out loud and always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy Regency romance series told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations.

Seductive Silence is Book 1 of 3 the Mistress in the Making series; the HEA is in Book 3, Daring Declarations.

“I recommend all three of the Mistress in the Making books to anyone who enjoys electric passion, witty humor, and a beautiful love story!” Reading Rebel Reviews

“I did so enjoy reading all three books about the growing love between Thea and Daniel. They were funny and well written and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books. Highly recommended reads and definitely keepers!” Five-Star UK Reviewer

Poor 1st half. Way too much descriptive explaining totally unnecessary. last 30 pages, came together much more polished and enjoyable then the book ended with not anymore than in the summary so that the real book would only start in the next volume

I enjoyed the entire book. The story is quite riveting and realistic. Daniel a marquess is a quiet man. But it is only a cover for his stammering. When the story described his childhood, it devastated me. It was painful, brutal and without love. His father loathed him. He grew up thinking all people would treat him as his father has. He still has a lot to overcome. He is looking for a new mistress. When his good friend suggests he attend a dinner party to meet a potential mistress he agrees. Dorothea is a penniless, destitute widow. She lives in squalor and her landlord is constantly making advances. Dorothea is an only child of parents who were the only children. She had no relatives nor friends to turn to. Until she met Sarah. Sarah was the mistress of Daniel's good friend. So, she matched Dorothea and Daniel. Dorothea knew little of Sɛx, her husband was perfunctory. But she decided between living in squalor, little food if any could be had, no employment and a landlord who was getting more brutal by the day she decided to become Daniel's mistress. Thank goodness he liked her on sight. Dorothea did not know what to think of Daniel because he did not speak. Their first night together was confusing. Daniel had plenty of questions to ask but would not because of his stutter. Dorothea had questions but she felt she dare not ask when he told her to stay quiet. What a muddle. This story continues in book two and i am looking forward to reading it.

Off to An Excellent Start I read a lot of Regency romance. Often, they are too predictable, but I never feel like this author’s books are... thank goodness! She writes a truly different Regency story. First, she writes them with much humor. In fact, if you're expecting the typical staid or refined Regency, her writing may disappoint you… but in a good way if you let it. I suggest you just be open to the story and simply go along for the ride. This particular book has not only the author’s trademark humor but touches on a subject that is certainly more serious... how people with a stutter can be ostracized. We plainly see the hero often get frustrated trying to communicate—my heart went out to him at each of his big struggles—though at times his stutter is barely there. The author has created two unique characters with their differing wounds that make them so right for each other... even though they don't fully comprehend that right away. This particular book is steamy, as you might imagine since the series is called “Mistress in the Making,” but only toward the end. By the way, this book is only the first one about this couple. I'm not sure how many the author is intending to write for them, but this only starts Thea and Lord Tremayne’s romantic arc. However, the author has set a great stage with fantastic characters with excellent backstories, and I am certainly looking forward to reading more about them. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
