I liked parts of this book but I also had some big issues with it. I really liked Lilly at the beginning of the story. She was strong, sassy and her own woman and yet as the storyline unfolds that changes. She abandons her lifelong beliefs and ignores feelings she has had for years and does a complete 180 degree turn. This bothered me and just …

A good read for a cold winter’s day. It will warm you up.
Good characters, good story, but too much sex.
Great characters, great story. Love the back stories of characters. ANOTHER winner from Holt.
I loved this story, but I found Lord Hawksley arrogant and full of himself. He never really thought beyond his self in regards to Lilly. His secret side was helping women escape their brutal husbands. He may never be brutal to Lilly, but making her his mistress is a brutality that most men cannot perceive until they fall in love.
Kinda just went on and on and on…
This is interesting and romantic. Evan is bold, arrogant and uncaring, until he falls in love with Lilly. He becomes protective and amusing, but I still didn’t like him, not until the very end. Lilly is strong, independent, feisty, naive and cheeky. They meet at a house party, one that Lilly went to specifically to meet him, and find out if he had …
I normally like Samantha’s Books but this one was sooo not one. Evan was a bully and a jerk, nothing redeeming about him could not see this as a romantic story..
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I almost didn’t finish this – it was not plausible to me that a suffragette would trade her virginity and her soul, to become a man’s possession and plaything. Her deflowering scene isn’t romantic, yet all the sex after that is blissful with this ass of of hero? There’s a poisoning that turns out to be immaterial to the plot line, and more than …
Samantha Holt is such a wonderful author and she always writes an engaging romantic story. This was no exception and I was pulled in quickly. Lilly’s father is murdered and she is determined to find out the culprit. What she hears makes her thing it is Evan, Lord Hawksley. She meets him when he pays a call on Lilly’s friend and Evan grabs her …
A well written story that had suspense, drama, danger, villains, kidnapping, shootings, and romance. Lilly Claremont and Lord Evan Hawksley’s story held my interest and kept me on the edge of my seat as I read this story it runs smoothly from page to page. I recommend.
I really enjoyed this romantic relationship between Lilly and Evan.
Lily loved her parents even though her mother was her father’s mistress and never married. She suspected Evan being behind her fathers death and planned on getting close to him.
She sacrificed her innocence and became his mistress as she continues to snoop around his home. As …
Tempting his Mistress” is one of those books you don’t start unless you have plenty of time to read because you can’t put it down. Lilly, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Claremont, is alone and two years away from getting her inheritance. She is determined to find the man who killed her father. Evan, Lord Hawksley, can’t marry Lilly so he asks …
Good characters with a good story. She has a tough life with how she was raised. He decides he wants her but only as his mistress. It a fun, hot, exciting, emotional and so much more story. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
Sweetly sexy, emotionally thrilling, action packed romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery, mistrust and hard to ignore chemistry…… all this and more made for a great read. I really enjoyed the witty banter, heart pounding twists and strong, intelligent charters.
I really liked this sweet romance that is filled with love, danger and murder. The H/h are both strong capable characters. Lilly Claremont’s mother was her father’s mistress. While she was born on the wrong side of the blanket, she was loved by both her mother and father. Her mother and father made sure she was educated and trained to be a lady in …
