Book Reviews of To Pleasure a Lady (Courtship Wars, Book 1)
Book Review: Marcus and Arabella-SPOILERS
Summary: 5 Stars
Favorite scene with Arabella-
Telling everyone off at the theater. That was a classic scene!
Favorite scene with Marcus-
His talk with Arabella's sisters.
Together-
Their fight after the theater fiasco.
What did you like about Arabella-
Her strength. Her tough cookie persona. Her love for her sisters and her Academy. Being the only one who hasn't turned her back on her courtesan friend. Willing to speak up for her mother. Her forgiveness toward her mother.
What didn't you like about Arabella-
Unwilling to marry. Not believing and trusting Marcus.
What did you like about Marcus-
His love for Arabella, although I questioned why sometimes. Although he was a powerful dude, he showed vulnerability, esp. when Arabella refused to marry him. Willing to help Arabella's students learn all the things they needed to learn. What he did for Arabella and her sisters-esp. returning their mother.
What didn't you like about Marcus-
The only time I didn't like Marcus was when he suggested that Arabella turn her back on her courtesan friend, and even give up her Academy.
Casting Marcus, I'd cast Julian McMahon.
Casting Arabella, I'd cast Gwyneth Paltrow.
Summary of To Pleasure a Lady (Courtship Wars, Book 1)
“A sizzling read. Don’t miss it.”–Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times bestselling author
“Ms. Jordan proves herself a marvelous storyteller.”
–Rendezvous
Nicole Jordan spins a delectable tale of wit and exquisite sensuality in this mesmerizing Regency romance, the captivating first in a dazzling new trilogy, The Courtship Wars.
Marcus Pierce, a strikingly handsome aristocrat with a wicked reputation, inherits guardianship of Arabella Loring and her two younger sisters–and immediately declares his intention to marry them off. But gorgeously defiant Arabella sparks frustration–and something deeply erotic–in Marcus. After matching both wits and swords with her, Marcus concludes that this beautiful and formidable foe must be his.
Having sworn off marriage and men, Arabella wishes to be left alone to run her finishing school for young ladies. To that end, she boldly accepts Marcus’s intimate challenge: If he can woo and win her within two weeks, she’ll take her place in his bed as his wife. However, if she can resist his considerable charms, the Loring sisters will be granted their independence. Thus an extraordinary game of seduction begins. . . .
