The Sinful Nights of a Nobleman: A Novel (The Boscastles)

England 1815 THE SINFUL NIGHTS OF A NOBLEMAN is a nonchalant novel compared to the other Boscastle tales, but it's still a good read. Lord Devon is as enticing as his brothers, but his tale of love is not as demanding as the first books in the series. You can't help but like Jocelyn and you're happy they find true love.

I finished this book in one day! Devon and Jocelyn has a history and when they find themselves at the same house party chaos explodes. I don't want to give to much away but this story has lots of lies but Devon and Jocelyn have a mature response the lies swarming around them.... Check out the whole Boscastle Family series;1. The Seduction of an English Scoundrel (2005)2. The Love Affair of an English Lord (2005)3. The Wedding Night of an English Rogue (2005)4. The Wicked Games of a Gentleman (2006)5. The Sinful Nights of a Nobleman (2006)6. The Devilish Pleasures of a Duke (2007)

This was a good, fast paced novel. I agree more could have been done with it (there could have been more conflict between the characters, arguments were a bit weak and I wondered what happened to Jocelyn's father), still was a fun read. Somebody said it had lots of sex. It really didn't, just had the average amount that any romance has. Wonder when Gabriel's story will be written, I like him.

It's true that this book isn't as intense as The?Wicked Games of a Gentleman, the fourth in the?Boscastle series. But it was fast-paced, humorous,?and sexy, which is pretty much all I ask from a book?these days. I might have liked another scene or two?between Devon and Jocelyn at the end because they were?a pretty hot couple. There was more sex than suspense?in the book, but I'm not complaining. A light, fun?read.

Again Jillian Hunter uses her special magic to perfectly blend romance with humor and a tad bit of mystery to come up with a sure bestseller! The Boscastles remain my favorite fictional family of all time and this novel focuses on Devon, the youngest eligible male. He's the hottest bachelor in London and probably the most wicked, at least he's trying to live up to those less than high standards and doing a great job. At an annual function in the English countryside, the guests are more interested in trysts and romantic interludes than the games and functions the host has arranged. Lord Devon has his eye set on a young widow who is rumored to be a tigress in the bedroom. He's after a willing woman who can share his passions and he's sure the widow is a perfect choice. An anonymous note is slipped under his bed inviting him to the tower for a romantic meeting at midnight and Devon assumes it's from the widow. However, the innocently attractive Jocelyn Lydbury also receives a note and assumes it's from a man courting her. Hoping for a marriage proposal she goes to the tower for the meeting. Strange that the note states they should be in masks but neither think anything of it. Both are surprised after one of those fireworks blasting in the sky kisses to realize that their willing partner is not the person they thought. However, before they can sort out the deception, they are interrupted by a search party. Now who could have alerted everyone that they were gone? Caught in this scandalous situation, Devon is forced to agree to marry Jocelyn. It is a typical romance, with Jocelyn falling in love with Devon and thinking he only married her because he was forced to... however, Devon however has fallen hard himself. This would have been a bit on the boring side if we didn't also have the villain trying to cause problems in the Boscastles' lives. The mystery portion is not difficult to figure out but it is interesting to see Devon slowly come to the same conclusion as the reader. The best part of this book is the humor. When the widow won't stop flirting with Devon at the party in the country, Jocelyn is angered. The luck of the draw has Jocelyn matched against her in a game of badminton and much to my enjoyment, Jocelyn becomes a woman bent on revenge. She ends up smashing the sly widow across the nose with her racket. Oh my yes, it was absolutely wonderful and laughing out loud was an absolute given! The romance portion has some hot and steamy scenes that are not for the faint of heart or the easily embarrassed (young readers should not read this book). For those sturdy enough to read these passages, they can definitely be mood enhancers. My only complaint is that there are only six siblings and this is book number five, with only one unmarried Boscastle left. I'm hoping that Hunter deviates a bit and includes Gabriel Boscastle (the crafty cousin) in a book. After that one, she can begin on the children these siblings ha
