For Desire Alone

Mistress Matchmaker Series, Book 2

De: Jess Michaels

Narrado por: Carmen Rose

A mistress should never be foolish enough to fall in love with her protector, nor trust him with her financial future. Mariah Desmond did both, and now her dearly departed protector has left her with nothing.

Forced to seek another protector, she's determined that this time, she'll lead with her survival instinct-not her heart. But when she attends one of Vivien Manning's infamous parties, the familiar face of her late lover's best friend throws her for a loop.

A painful past taught John Rycroft that he's not fit to be anyone's knight in shining armor. His soft spot-make that a hard spot-for Mariah is precisely why he's kept his distance. Yet the sight of her flirting with a bevy of men vying to become her next lover makes something inside him snap.

As John hauls her bodily away from her suitors, Mariah's indignation melts away in the heat of the sizzling sexual chemistry. She quickly finds it isn't easy to navigate John's stormy emotional waters. Especially when his abusive father's quest to get his son back under his thumb puts her life in danger.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Once again, I found an amazing historical romance with characters that I quickly fell in love with and situations that are extremely realistic." ( Night Owl Reviews)

No expect reasons why! “Lovely “

One of my favorite narrators and author! I didn’t have any idea the reasons he couldn’t have relationships; also how calm she was and the way she loved him.

good book but....

The book was good but the ending in my eyes was cut short. I did love the story and how it came about like i said tho the ending was short

Very nice with a lot of spice

This is a really good book series. I like the first book better just a little bit. this book had great characters and a lot of spies. I feel like the ending was just cut off. I wish there was a little bit more. But in the end still great series I'm going to read the Third book.

Good just not great

The first book was a lot better than this one. This book had lots of sex scenes but some of it felt repetitive and I had hoped the author would have mixed it up or made it more interesting. This felt a little slow at times and there was quite a bit of angst. I felt John could’ve showed more grief for losing his best friend and there wasn’t much reason why he couldn’t accept his feelings for Mariah.

Even better than the first

This was quite a ride beginning to end. Not only unpredictable, but the storyline was original. I loved the first in this series, and this one is even better. Narrator was excellent as usual. Looking forward to the next.
