They whisper her name in the ballrooms shadows the Marquiss mistress!

It will take all of Alice Sweetlys acting skills to play this part: smile until it no longer hurts, until they believe your lies, until you believe.

I could read this kind all day

I loved this book. It was beautifully written.

Four Stars

The movie was great.

Hmmmm...MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

It was an okay story. There was a lot of back and forth between the main characters, each denying their love and saying it was for the best! It was annoying. This book could have easily been 100 pages shorter with cutting all the B.S. out! There was this one point where she found out he still visited the house they shared and she began to wonder if he had another woman there. When she asked him, he told her that he thought she knew him better than that and then he walked off. Well, she told him she was only with him for his title and wealth and he believed her and walked off. Should that not work both ways?? I kept thinking that how should she have believed in him if he did not believe in her!!! Not to mention that had he not found out about her from their mutual friends, he would have married that woman in 3 days. He was all set to do it so how am I supposed to find his actions justifiable?? He was not a very good hero in my book and she was not a very good heroine. They just kept torturing each other and they acted like children! There are some parts I liked or I would have given this a worse rating but it was an okay story and worth an afternoon if you are bored. I really wanted a book where the hero fell for his mistress and she ended up the way this heroine did but this did not quench my interest like I thought it would. Oh well! I bought and read this and will not discourage others from getting this book because it was decent all in all! It left me with a smile on my face at the end!

Romantic Historical

I love Harlequin Historicals. Mistress to the Marquis is among the best I've read. I was hooked from the very beginning by the aptly named, Alice Sweetly. Razeby is a man trapped by convention and rules of the Ton. You can tell on every page that these two love each other and so belong together. I was rooting on every page for them to get out of their predicament and find the way to happily ever after. Ms. McPhee did not disappoint.

Just OK

This book is unique in that it is about the discarded mistress rather than the innocent who is attracted to the usual rake/hero of the story. I also liked the fact that the author did not spend time describing all of the clothing in boring detail. However, some of the phrases do not fit in with the Regency period ('been there and done that'). The ending of the book is unsatisfying. How were things settled with the Duke? How did Razeby's marriage to a scandalous woman finally fare in society's eyes, which was the main theme of the story? Three stars only for leaving the reader hanging...
