   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  aeryn0 | Jul 23, 2023 |   I've read a couple of books recently with OUTSTANDING heroes, so this one came up relatively short. "Saint" really did nothing for me, in anyway, shape, or form. Bland or boring might be better adjectives. And I do take issue with throwing in rape/sexual assault to help move along or build a story. And that's how this one starts out. I'll wholly admit this is my issue. I get REALLY cranky if I don't perceive that the assault/rape is handled well or in a thoughtful manner. It gets my back up quicker than lousy editing, typos, and huge ass plot holes. ****Mini Spoiler ahoy**** The back & forth between Saint and Frost over bedding Madame Venna got old very quickly. It felt like it was put into the story to give Saint something to fight over. I stopped counting how many times Saint went after Frost's throat for some ill made remark. "Don't you dare say something bad about my woman".. sigh. The ending was terrible. Less than 1 page supposedly took care of all the issues throughout the book. The ending is actually what pissed me off the most. But ugh, I've read enough reviews on GR to hate spoilers.. so I shall resist the urge. (  ) Readsalot81 | Mar 30, 2013 | no reviews | add a review

Alexandra Hawkins All Afternoon with a Scandalous Marquess Simon Jefferes, the Marquess of Sainthill, has done the unthinkable--he's fallen in love. The so-called "Saint" has spent his life gambling, dallying with women, and satisfying his every whim. And he fully intended to continue his wicked ways, until he met the mysterious, exotic, and irresistible Madame Venna--the one woman he can't have...and the only one he's ever wanted for more than an evening. The proprietress of the Golden Pearl, one of London's most exclusive brothels, Madame Venna takes pride in the lush, decadent club she's created. With a half-mask to conceal her identity, she's careful to safeguard something even more valuable--her heart. But Saint is determined to tear down the walls she's built around herself, and to finally expose the truth--that Madame Venna is a woman very much in love...with him. No library descriptions found. |

There seems to be a large chunk of climactic plot missing from the end. Did not live up to previous installments. (
