My Pleasure

I almost skipped this book, but I decided that since I read the first and last books of this trilogy that I might as well finish the whole thing... So I bought this book, and I don't regret buying it... It was so much better than what I thought and what other readers gave credit for... Ram was such a great hero, and the way Brockway described him, made my knees weak... I sigh everytime I think about him... Helena was a headstrong heroine and an admirable one... She showed her acquaintances that she could be trusted, even though her secret gave Ram the wrong idea, and she sacrificed almost everything for them, even though they were annoying at times, and she wanted nothing more than to hit them both over the head for being fools... And the result of the two coming together was perfect and I really loved this book, even though it took me more than a day to finish... It was sweet in a unique way... I really love this trilogy...

I was a huge fan of the first Rose Hunter installment. In fact, "My Seduction" was my first ever Connie Brockway book. I fell in love with her writing ability and was swept away with the wonderful story of the three chivalrous men bound by their honor to do a good deed for the Nash family. As I read, I remember sitting there thinking to myself, "Heroes just don't get much better than Kit." HA! H-e-l-l-o Ram Munro! Ms. Brockway does an upstanding and admirable job of developing a romance between Ramsey and Helena, one that is both realistic and emotionally deep. I have to admit that in reading so many romance books, I've grown tired of the similar stereotypical and categorical plot twists and cliches that often occur in order to propel a story. "My Pleasure" was a refreshing escape from that and left me smiling long after I read the last page. (And what a last page it was.) Bravo, Ms. Brockway.

I just thought this book was incredibly romantic and sexy. It seems like I can't find books any more that just tie me to the page, and I can't put them down, but My Pleasure was like that for me. The hero is incredible, a swordfighter but who is really devoted in a non-sloppy way. It was great!

MY PLEAUSRE is my pleasure Fencing master Ramsey Munro has watched over paid companion Helena Nash for 3 years without her knowledge. One night they come face to face in the dark Walks of Vauxhall Gardens-the fun begins, the mysteries of the past begin to unwind. The man who is obsessed with Helena and watches her from the shadows enters the drawing room of her employer. Helena is his, there is no doubt is his mind. Ram is looking for the man who betrayed him and his 'brothers' years ago and put them in a French prison for 2 years. Helena's father trades his life for the friends and the Scotsmen vow to watch over the Nash daughters. This Munro does with Helena unaware of his guardianship. But now the evil from that ugly prison in France is reaching out to touch the Nash sisters and Ram is determined to stop it. Helena needs no protecting, she can solve her own problems, thank you very much . But she does go to Ram--to learn from the master how to handle a sword. She wants to protect herself from DeMarc, but is DeMarc the only one staking her ? Or him? A swordfight in a back alley, a championship fight that gives Ram the chance to be Helena's knight in tarnished armor, Helena's own battle in the stable all make an exciting ending to this fast paced story. Connie is a great wordsmith (I made that up- I think). Scenes come to life with her description and dialog is spicy. Also recommended: Once Upon a Pillow
