Loving a Lost LordIn the first of a dazzling series, Mary Jo Putney introduces the Lost Lords—maverick childhood friends with a flair for defying convention. Each is about to discover the woman who is his perfect match—but perfection doesn’t come easily, even for the noble Duke of Ashton. . .Battered by the sea, Adam remembers nothing of his past, his ducal rank, nor of the shipwreck that almost … the shipwreck that almost claimed his life. However, he’s delighted to hear that the golden-haired vision tending his wounds is his wife. Mariah’s name and face may not be familiar, but her touch, her warmth, feel deliciously right. . .
When Mariah Clarke prayed for a way to deter a bullying suitor, she didn’t imagine she’d find the answer washed ashore on a desolate beach. Convincing Adam that he is her husband is surprisingly easy. Resisting the temptation to act his wife, in every way, will prove anything but. And now a passion begun in fantasy has become dangerously real—and completely irresistible. . .
Never Less Than A Lady
New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney continues her stunning Lost Lords series with this stirring, sensual story of a rebellious nobleman drawn to a lovely widow with a shocking past.
As the sole remaining heir to the Earl of Daventry, Alexander Randall knows his duty: find a wife and sire a son of his own. The perfect bride for a man in his position would be a biddable young girl of good breeding. But the woman who haunts his imagination is Julia Bancroft—a village midwife with a dark secret that thrusts her into Randall’s protection.
Nowhere Near Respectable
Mary Jo Putney’s riveting Lost Lords series unleashes a high stakes royal plot—which may prove easier for Damian Mackenzie to handle than his own unruly desire. . .
He’s a bastard and a gambler and society’s favorite reprobate. But to Lady Kiri Lawford he’s a hero—braver than the smugglers he rescues her from, more honorable than any lord she’s ever met, and far more attractive than any man has a right to be. How can she not fall in love. . .?
No Longer a Gentleman
Grey Sommers, Lord Wyndham, never met a predicament he couldn’t charm his way out of. Then a tryst with a government official’s wife during a bit of casual espionage in France condemns him to a decade in a dungeon, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Yet his greatest challenge may be the enigmatic spy sent to free his body–the only woman who might heal his soul.
Cassie Fox lost everything in the chaos of revolution, leaving only a determination to help destroy Napoleon’s empire through her perilous calling. Rescuing Grey is merely one more mission. She hadn’t counted on a man with the stark beauty of a ravaged angel, whose desperate courage and vulnerability thaw her frozen heart. But a spy and a lord are divided by an impassable gulf even if they manage to survive one last, terrifying mission. . ..
Sometimes A Rogue. . .
Even the most proper young lady yearns for adventure. But when the very well bred Miss Sarah Clarke-Townsend impulsively takes the place of her pregnant twin, it puts her own life at risk. If the kidnappers after her sister discover they’ve abducted Sarah instead, she will surely pay with her life. . .
Rob Carmichael survived his disastrous family by turning his back on his heritage and becoming a formidable Bow Street Runner with a talent for rescuing damsels in distress. But Sarah is one damsel who is equal to whatever comes. Whether racing across Ireland with her roguish rescuer or throwing herself into his arms, she challenges Rob at every turn.

The Lost Lords are exactly the romantic heroes we love. I promise you will adore each and every one of these books. I know I did.
I am reading this series for the second time. I enjoy this author’s books and have read most of them. In this series the relationships of the characters are believable and well developed. The first story has an over abundance of coincidence s to weave the plot lines together but I still enjoyed it.
What a great way to get all of this series. All the books work together, and the characters interact throughout all of the books, that having them right at hand to go from one to the next is great. A really fun group of novels by a super romance author.
I enjoyed all four of these books. As soon as I finished one, I was ready to read the next one. This set included a story about Adam who washed up on a private shore in Scotland. He was the Lost Lord whom everyone thought he had died in a shipwreck. This was one of my favorite lords but the other three were also very good. 4.5 stars for this one.
Too much present day language and modern sensibilities. Not very historical at all.
Great reading. Many enjoyable characters, all realistically flawed, involved in unusual situations. So entertaining that I just kept reading and the books were finished in record time. I highly recommend.
Enjoyable read enjoyed characters and strength given to women
I read the first 2 books of this “Lords” series–I really like the characters, and interesting plots! But i prefer not to read so much detail about their sex lives, their love-making. And feel strongly that a battered wife would not have healed so soon, and become so “free” so easily, given her history.
Loved the twists and turns of entertaining plots; enjoyed the personalities. But i had to stop reading the series, I just don’t want such vivid sensual images in my mind.
I love to lose myself in Putney’s novels. Her characters are so well-developed and three dimensional that I can see and hear them as I read. I celebrate with them as if among old friends. These interwoven stories are particularly satisfying in that the reader encounters well-known characters as their complicated lives intertwine. Excellent writing!
Women accomplish things unlikely in Regency days
Read them twice they where so good.

I liked the books but could have done without all the sex. I will not read them again.
I enjoyed this series. The characters were interesting and likeable.
Fun reads! Clever stories. Well written
I thoroughly enjoyed these books. Very entertaining. I was sorry when the series ended and hope she will write more like these.
Mary Jo Putney always draws you in to her plot. Her characters are interesting and good people. This series is great!
Mary Jo Putney is a favorite of mine Her books are always worth the time
This author is a favorite as she writes very well and the stories are varied, but always interesting, plus the added bonus of history, culture and romance.
Mary Jo Putney is one of my few go-to romance mass market authors. Her stories are believable, fast-paced, and well-written. Her characters are real and always behave consistently. Sensual inplaces, without going overboard. Her history is spot on. Thoroughly enjoyable.
