The Brent twins, Cecilia and Beatrice, have been told by
their father to find respectable gentlemen to marry. When
their godmother invites them to a house party, this seems
the perfect opportunity for the twins to meet a potential
husband. Cecilia will do her best to do as her father bid,
but Beatrice is much more interested in having fun, than
finding a perfect man. With the arrival of a very mysterious
guest, Beatrice's plans to just have fun are put aside, and
her curiosity could lead her down the aisle sooner than she
imagines.
Mary Blayney writes an enthralling romance, with mystery,
humor, true love, and surprises. Remarkably, Blayney writes
the whole story around a two - week house party. There is
never a dull moment when reading ONE MORE KISS, and many
twists and unexpected secrets keep ONE MORE KISS from
becoming a tedious read. The dialogue is witty and charming
and the characters are enduring. Jess Pennistan is a hero
readers will fall in love with from the beginning. His sense
of honor and his secretive behavior make Jess a romance
readers dream. Beatrice's curiosity is contagious, and
readers will want to know everyone's secrets as much as her.
The sub plot surrounding Destry and Cecilia is subtle yet
clearly defined, and I enjoyed their story as much as Jess
and Beatrice's. ONE MORE KISS is a must read, and I will be
reading the rest of the Pennistan family's stories as soon
as possible.
Dispatched by their ambitious father to snag a titled
husband, Beatrice Brent and her twin sister, Cecilia,
attend a house party with an array of eligible gentlemen.
Defiantly ignoring her father's wishes, Beatrice flirts
shamelessly with Lord Jessup Pennistan, a gamer with
scandal in his past—and the one man her father has
warned her against. But when flirting goes too far,
Beatrice suddenly finds herself engaged and, worse,
estranged from her family. Though convinced that her
fiance's wicked ways will bring nothing but heartache,
Beatrice is powerless against Jess's masterful seduction
and the anticipated delights of the marriage bed.
A gambling man who has lost more than his family is
willing to forgive him for, Jess quickly realizes that
compromising Beatrice was the best mistake he ever made.
But to keep her he must right the wrongs of the past,
reclaim his lost fortunes, and place the boldest wager of
his life. For now he has everything to win . . . and
everything to lose.
I've seen Mary Blayney's name before but had never checked her books. However, I decided to read this review of her book to see if I would like her style of stories. I'm glad I did because this review has sparked my interest and I plan to go buy this book. (Sherrill Hutchinson 11:30am July 26, 2013)
